By protesting the way of working I have resigned from NIOT then again took up consultant job in another Government department - [being a ex.government servent I never wanted to serve private institutions to avoid conflict of interest.<BR/><BR/>Regarding OTEC project - it is best for the NATION for obtaining clean energy almost at least expenses.<BR/><BR/>World over about 20 institutions have tried and many of them have infact succeeded in getting energy through OTECT.<BR/><BR/>almost 1st to achieve the success is an USA institution from whom NIOT took configuration and started OTEC during 1993 (nearly 16 years back) and spent about one thousand million INR - <BR/>the fact of the case is not even a single capital equipment procured has been tested and undergone trial test - <BR/><BR/>worst part of it the POWER TURBINE - even trail vibration test has been waived - according to some scientist [insider] if POWER TURBINE [installed at OTEC barge] is commissioned the barge will sink because of vibration. most interesting part is whether NIOT has planned coolant for AMMONIA vapour [most toxic and accident prone] and how many accident has taken place and whether failure analysis has been done on the accidents - iof any one goest through the details - interesting stories will errupt.<BR/><BR/>after repeated trial - NIOT is going to close the OTECT project without even producing one single watt of energy [government spent nearly one million INR]<BR/><BR/>Government grant of about one thousand five hundred million INR for procuring TDV Research vessel.<BR/><BR/>NIOT contracted TDV vessel without scientific package - then can any scientist call this ship as TDV Research Vessel - NIOT have procured just a CARGO VESSEL in place of TDV Research Vessel for SCIENTIFIC expriment.<BR/><BR/>CAN any SCIENTIST do this sin to tghe NATION?<BR/><BR/>NIOT caused a loss of about four thousand million INR on acquiring TDV Research Vessel - still DWT (wight of vessel has been reduced from 6000 m/t to 5000 m/t, electric propulsion has been reduced, super structure highet has been reduced, crew accommodation has been reduced, noise standard [most important for data collection by Research Scientific vessel] has been modified. most worst case is ship builder confiuguration has replaced the 3rd party designer configuration - appointed 3rd party inspection agency has not inspected the vessel before delivery of the vessel.<BR/><BR/>one can obtain all records,files, file noting, emails under RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT from the PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER, CENTRAL VIGILANCE COMMISSION, DELHI quoting CVC Ref: 611/05/10<BR/><BR/>I have al filed complaint on these case with CVC/CAG/CBI and also informed the details to His Excellency President of India, Honourable Prime Minister, and also Honourable Members of Parliament.<BR/><BR/>Having known non-transparent actions, I have resigned from NIOT service before concluding TDV Research Vessel - as an ordinary government employee maximum what I can do is to disassociate with the illegal action.<BR/><BR/>AS A TRUE CITIZEN WHO RESPECT THE NATION AND WHO PROMOTE SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES FOR THE BETTERMENT OF NATION, MUST EXAMINE THE CASE WITHOUT BIAS AND BRING OUT THE TRUTH - AS SERVICE TO THE HONOUR OF SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY.<BR/><BR/>with kind regards<BR/><BR/>sincerely<BR/><BR/>p.swaminathanSWAMINATHAN PATTABHIRAMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698649128572767446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058917464350443681.post-86047279247164290362009-03-18T21:14:00.000-07:002009-03-18T21:14:00.000-07:00Dear Mr Nathan,Thank you for having highlighted th...Dear Mr Nathan,<BR/>Thank you for having highlighted the said Project which had yet to produce a single Watt.
