India’s nuclear safety, and regulator independence not satisfactory – says IAEA

IAEA team completes review of Indian regulator, World Nuclear News 30 Mar 15 “…… the mission also provided recommendations and suggestions for improvement, many at the governmental level. The government should promulgate a national policy and strategy for safety and a strategy for radioactive waste management, it said. The team also recommended that the Indian government ensure that the AERB’s independence is embedded in law, ensuring its separation from other entities that could unduly influence the regulator’s decision making. The AERB itself should also review its policy and arrangements to ensure it maintains independence in its regulatory functions, the mission said.

The regulator should also consider increasing the frequency of on-site inspections and should develop and implement its own internal emergency arrangements, the reviewers found….The mission’s final report will be provided to the Indian government in about three months.http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/RS-IAEA-team-completes-review-of-Indian-regulator-2703158.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
