Nuclear Power
Building a Smarter Tomorrow Through Science.
परमाणु ऊर्जा हॉल
Nuclear technology touches our lives in more ways than we
often realise—it lights our homes, heals through medicine,
supports agriculture, advances research, and helps protect the
environment. Yet, for many, it remains surrounded by questions
and misconceptions. Who were the pioneers of nuclear science?
How does a nuclear power plant generate electricity? What
emerges from those towering cooling structures? How safe are
nuclear power plants, and how do they contribute to a cleaner,
low-carbon future?
The Hall of Nuclear Power brings together these questions and
answers in an engaging, intuitive, and visitor-friendly manner.
Spread over nearly 700 square metres at the National Science
Centre, New Delhi, the gallery showcases the diverse
applications of nuclear energy and radiation in the service of
humankind
With over 60 permanent interactive and audiovisual exhibits, the gallery offers a rich learning experience—
from uranium mining and fuel fabrication to the inner workings
of a nuclear power plant and the fundamental principles behind
nuclear energy generation.
Special emphasis is placed on nuclear safety and environmental
protection, explaining everything from pre-plant environmental
monitoring to safe plant operation and responsible nuclear waste
management. Visitors can even step into the role of a plant
operator, take a virtual walk-through of a nuclear power station,
interact with holographic ‘nuclear experts’, and explore common
myths through the popular Ask Budhiya exhibit. The gallery’s
ultimate aim is to replace curiosity and doubt with clarity and
confidence—so every visitor leaves saying, “Wow! Now I know
better.”
