Nuclear Fuel Complex (NFC) Invites Application for Scientific Officer Recruitment 2022

The Nuclear Fuel Complex (NFC) was established in 1971 as a major industrial unit of India's Department of Atomic Energy, for the supply of nuclear fuel bundles and reactor core components. It is a unique facility where natural and enriched uranium fuel, zirconium alloy cladding, and reactor core components are manufactured under one roof.

Natural uranium, mined at Jaduguda Uranium Mine in the Singhbhum area of Jharkhand, is converted into nuclear fuel assemblies. Uranium dioxide pellets, which generate heat while undergoing fission, also generate fission products. The fission products, which are radioactive, should be contained and not allowed to mix with coolant water. Nuclear Fuel Complex supplies zircaloy-clad uranium oxide fuel assemblies and zirconium alloy structural components for all 14 operating atomic power reactors in India. NFC products are supplied to the Department of Atomic Energy, the Indian Navy, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, and other defense organizations, as well as chemical, fertilizer, and ball-bearing industries. NFC is planning to establish two major fuel fabrication facilities to meet the expected jump in nuclear power production.

Nuclear Fuel Complex recruitment offers great career opportunities for several posts such as Upper Division Clerk (UDC), and Work Assistant.

Interested candidates can pursue courses in Degree in Arts, Science, or Commerce; 10th Pass for a great career at Nuclear Fuel Complex.
