VI. PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DIVISION
1. Planning and Development Division
As a premier research organization of the country, Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) has been engaged in research and development activities in different disciplines of nuclear science & technology for peaceful application of atomic energy. Keeping the national interest on science and technology policy and objectives in view, BAEC identified the necessity of research & its particular field of area and launched vigorous & active efforts for solving those smoothly. There are 7(Seven) development projects of Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) which have been included in the Annual Development Programme (RADP) of 2012-2013. The total ADP allocation for the year 2012-2013 for Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission was Tk. 7372.00 Lakh, An amount of Tk. 7372.00 Lakh. Out of this granted allocation, Tk. 7372.00 Lakh has been spent up to 30 June 2013 making an implementation rate of 100% under the reporting period. 6(Six) new projects, in total, have been proposed for the FY 2013-2014 from BAEC to the concerned Ministry. The entire picture on the advancement of all the development projects are shown in Table-1.

2. Quality Management Division
2.1 Introduction
Every organization including those engaged in R & D needs a certain level of Quality Management for optimal use of its resources, improvements of its performance and above all to maintain adequate quality at stages of all work. Since its inception Quality Management Division (QMD) has been working with right earnest to develop, implement, maintain, and manage Quality Management System (QMS) within the BAEC. Main objectives of QMD are to:
-
advice the Commission on all issues related to overall ‘Quality Policy’ and ‘Health, Safety & Environment Policy’;
-
develop BAEC central Quality Manual and Procedures;
-
facilitate the development of QA Manual and Procedures for each Institution/Department in consultation with relevant personnel;
-
keep liaison with the Institution/Department for proper implementation and maintenance of QMS;
-
conduct periodic audit to ascertain implementation of QM program;
-
record results of audit along with nonconformities (if any) and submit a report to Commission together with the recommendations on general acceptability of the work and suggestion on rectification, if applicable;
-
evaluate the effectiveness of QM program and make suggestion from time to time on necessary modification/improvement;
-
arrange necessary training on QM for developing in-house capability with the assistance of external consultants, if necessary;
-
keep records of important quality issues and monitor progress in resolving them;
-
help promote ‘Quality Culture’ within BAEC.
The purpose of the QMS is to formalize an organization-wide integrated management system for improving the quality of R&D, training, services, constructions, installations and other supporting activities in BAEC. An effective QMS absolutely requires management commitment, adequate resources and formal program and the responsibility for enforcement of QMS always lies with top management.
2.2 QMS Implementation Activities
2.2.1 Appointment of Director for Quality Management Division
As per the proposal of QMD the Commission issued an Office Order (Office Order No. - 62/2013, dated: 30 Jan. 2013) through which a Director was appointed for the Division first time with clearly pointing out the Terms of Reference (TOR) of QMD.
2.2.2 Review of quality and progress of R&D and service activities of different Institutions under Physical Sciences Division
The Committee formed to implement QMS in different Institutions under Physical Sciences Division carried out following two meetings.
-
Meeting with AECD (01-08-2012) where 27 scientists were present;
-
Meeting with INST (06-12-2012) where 22 scientists were present.
Both the meetings were presided over by the Member (Physical Sciences), Dr. Mohammad Ali. Director, Physical Sciences Division and Head, QMD were present in the meetings. The minutes of the meetings were issued. Issues highlighted in the meetings are summarized as follows:
-
QMS related meetings should be arranged on a regularly basis and QMS procedures should be followed to achieve desired goals;
-
QMS should be implemented so that young scientists can use its effectiveness to make new milestones in R&D/Service activities;
-
More quality scientific papers, technical reports should be published and services rendered by the Institutions to different stakeholder should maintain adequate quality level. Number/quantity of these kind of service should also be increased;
-
Scientific & Technical Review (STR) Committee meeting should be held at regular intervals and General Procedure for Programme Approval & Periodic Evaluation (BAEC/SOP-001) shall be implemented properly in all Institutions;
-
R&D/Service program should be planned as per the available resources and quality should be maintained. Resource should be utilized optimally;
-
Job Descriptions for all position should be prepared and adequate training should be arrange for young scientists;
-
Transparency and accountability in all activity should be maintained and quality culture should be established in all Institutions
2.2.3 Approval of Procedure for Submitting Title & Abstract of Published Scientific/Technical Paper for Publishing on the BAEC Website (BAEC/SOP-004)
The document mentioned above was drafted to describe procedure of submitting title and abstract of published scientific/technical paper for publishing on BAEC website. Creating a web based database of all published scientific/technical papers of BAEC researcher in national and international journal is significantly important for dissemination of information to the new comers and for improvement of quality of research activities. This web based database will be helpful in:
