NEW DELHI, JUNE 05, 2025: THE National Science Centre (NSC), Delhi, is set to unveil its newly revamped permanent gallery titled "Hall of Nuclear Power: Atoms Serving the Nation" on June 5, 2025, at 12:30 PM. The inauguration will be graced by B. V. S. Sekhar, Outstanding Scientist and Executive Director (CP&CC), Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), in the presence of Umed Yadav, Head, Corporate Communication, NPCIL, along with prominent scientists, academicians, and museum professionals.

Originally inaugurated in 2016, the gallery has now been transformed with cutting-edge display technologies, user-friendly interfaces, and highly engaging interactive simulations. This initiative, supported by NPCIL, aims to demystify nuclear energy and educate the public about its vital role in India's energy landscape.

Spanning over 7,000 sq. ft., the gallery features more than 56 interactive exhibits, including a 3D walkthrough of a nuclear power plant, artifacts from actual nuclear reactors, and immersive digital kiosks. Visitors can explore a wide range of topics such as nuclear fission, reactor operations, radiation safety, nuclear waste management, and the contribution of nuclear energy towards achieving net-zero emissions.

The gallery also pays tribute to India's nuclear journey and pioneers like Dr. Homi J. Bhabha, reinforcing the significance of nuclear energy as a clean, reliable, and sustainable power source for the future.

With India possessing vast thorium reserves and increasing energy demands, nuclear power is set to play a crucial role in ensuring long-term energy security. The revamped gallery seeks to inform, inspire, and foster awareness among citizens-especially students-about the science and promise of nuclear technology.

Following the inauguration, the gallery will be open to the public. The National Science Centre is open seven days a week from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
