Later, he joined BARC Training School to pass out in 1996. He served the Uranium Corporation of India at Jaduguda, Bihar, the only Uranium mill in the country and was instrumental in the establishment of the Rare Materials Plant, a classified project in the Ratnahalli village of Mysore.[4] He has also been involved with the development of desalination plants for BARC; the plant attached to the Madras Atomic Power Station, Kalpakkam is one of the fifteen plants supplied by BARC in the country.[5] He became the director of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in 2001[5] and stayed at the post until 2004, handing over the charges to Srikumar Banerjee in April.[6] It was during his tenure as the head of BARC, an accident occurred at the Kalpakkam reprocessing plant, on 21 January 2003, which caused exposure of six BARC personnel to radiation.[7]

Bhattacharjee is an elected Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE)[8] and a former member of the Nuclear and Radiological Emergency at the National Disaster Management Authority.[9] He also served as a member of the Atomic Energy Commission of India.
