He had his early education at Barwani and at Khargone, until moving to Mumbai for post-matriculation studies.
Kakodkar graduated from Ruparel College, then from VJTI, University of Mumbai with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1963.
He joined the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in 1964.
He obtained a master's degree in experimental stress analysis from the University of Nottingham in 1969.
He joined the Reactor Engineering Division of the BARC and played a key role in design and construction of the Dhruva reactor, a completely original but high-tech project.
He was a part of the core team of architects of India's Peaceful Nuclear Tests in 1974 and 1998.
Further he has led the indigenous development in India's Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor Technology.
He worked in the rehabilitation of the two reactors at Kalpakkam and the first unit at Rawatbhata, which at one stage were on the verge of being written off.
He was the chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission of India and the Secretary to the Government of India, he was the Director of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay from 1996 to 2000.
In 1996 he became Director of the BARC and since 2000 he has been leading the Atomic Energy Commission of India and also is the secretary of the Department of Atomic Energy.
He has published over 250 scientific papers.
He believes that India should be self-reliant in energy, especially by use of the cheap national thorium resources.
He continues to engage in designing the Advanced Heavy Water Reactor, that uses thorium-uranium 233 as the primary energy source with plutonium as the driver fuel.
The unique reactor system, with simplified but safe technology, will generate 75 per cent of electricity from thorium.
