This event was organised by the Maharashtra Chapter on 27th January 2012. Keen interest was shown by the member industries of our chapter and over 30 Members were present for this daylong meeting cum scientific visit.

A special buswas arranged for the journey of about 280 K/m to and fro. National Safety Council Maharashtra Chapter’s office Bearers S/shri. A.A.Raichur Vice Chairman, P.R.Masurkar Hon. Secretary, J.A. Solanki, Nitin Naik were present to lead the visit. S/shri C.R.Gala and S.V.Menge staff of the Chapters office helped a lot during this visit.

The Bus carrying the visiting group started for Tarapur at 7.15 A.M and reached at main gate of Tarapur Atomic Power Station at 10.15 A.M. The visiting group was warmally received and treated by the authorities of Tarapur plant at the main gate of the Tarapur Nuclear Power Complex itself. The visiting group could actually observe the essential vigilance and security as well as the personal safety and health precautions taken at the vital installations.

Initially, the nuclear Power Station authorities gave an audiovisual presentation about their complex and held very interesting discussions in the form of question and answer session. Very high safety aspect of a Nuclear reactor, its design, Construction and layout were explained by Shri Tomer, Station Director and his Officers from training and operation departments. This discussion could remove under fear and misunderstanding about Nuclear Reactor, Energy and its radiation effects, which was in the minds of visitors. The group was taken for a visit to the display room where models related with Nuclear Reactor, Turbines, Power Generator

were exhibited. The group was then taken to a computerized Control Room of Unit 1, 2, 3 & 4, the inspection laboratory, the safe storage arrangement of the used fuel (Uranium) tubes etc. The reactor was shown from outside. Reactor face could be actually seen through a well protected 1.5M thick, transparent oil filled glass window. The face had 329 coolant channel assemblies. Each assembly had 13 fuel bundles. The visitors were also shown the mega steam turbines and turbine driven power generators. The plant authorities informed that with the addition of reactors No.3 and 4, Tarapur Nuclear Power plant has become India’s largest unit of Nuclear Power generation. The visitors were shown the 100M high vent Stack of unit 3 and 4 and a vapour condenser using sea water as a cooling media.

The group was informed about the social liability and community welfare programmes carried out by the Nuclear Power Complex. The group was very much impressed about the developmental concern shown by Tarapur Nuclear Power Plant for nearby 12 villages. The environment was also found well protected. The environmental results at 1.6 Km. distance show the concentration of radiation well below 50/usv as against TLV of 1000 usv.

During the concluding session after the visit the station director Shri Tomar presented attractive gift to each visitor as memento .

Shri P.R.Masurkar, Hon. Secretary expressed heartfelt thanks to the Station Director and all his officers S/shri Amit Roy, Anil Seth, S.D.Paraswar, A.P.Phadke for making the visit a meaningful event.

Precautions for Safeguarding Against Lightning … Lightning is one of the most dangerous natural calamities which have potential to cause extensive damage to human life and property. Lightning kills more people in this country than tornadoes, floods or hurricanes. Lightning can strike from as far as 10 miles away of the area of the thunderstorm, so watch the skies and be aware of the weather conditions. A thumb rule is: If you can hear it, you are within striking distance. Since the power contained in a flash of lightning is tremendous (several hundred millions of volts, and several tens of thousands of amps), it is best to take precautions to safe guard our life and property. Lightning Safety Precautions:• The proper installation of lightning rods & proper earthing to it,

on buildings to discharge lightening.• During thunderstorm, be inside a home or large building, or

inside an all-metal (not convertible) vehicle • Avoid using the telephone during lightning, except for

emergencies • Do not stand below or near tree / street light pole.• Stay at least a few feet away from open windows, sinks, toilets,

tubs, showers, electric boxes and outlets, and appliances. Lightning can flow through these symptoms and "jump" to a person.

• Get out of and away from open water • Get away from tractors and other metal farm equipment • Get off of and away from motorcycles, scooters, golf carts and

bicycles. • Stay away from wire fences, clotheslines, metal pipes, rails

and other metallic paths which could carry lightning to you from some distance away.

• Avoid standing in small isolated sheds or other small structures in open areas.

• Monitor local weather conditions regularly with a special weather radio or AM/FM radio.

• Recognize the signs of an oncoming thunder and lightning storm - towering clouds with a "cauliflower" shape, dark skies and distant rumbles of thunder or flashes of lightning. Do not wait for lightning to strike nearby before taking cover.

• If you are caught outside and you are unable to reach a safe building or car, knowing what to do can save your life, then crouch down on the balls of your feet with your feet close together. Keep your hands on your knees and lower your head. Get as low as possible without touching your hands or knees to the ground. DO NOT LIE DOWN!

• Unplug the telephone and unnecessary appliances. • Turning off the air conditioner. Power surges cause costly

damages! By taking all above simple precautions you can safe guard your life against lightning.
