Questions raised about India’s Nuclear Safety Agency

In a report to India’s Parliament, India’s Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) writes that the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) lacks independence, has no power to make safety or radiation protection rules, does not require decommissioning plans for nuclear power plants, nor does it have the authority to enforce safety standards, and does not have a role in responding to nuclear energy facility emergencies.http://ansnuclearcafe.org/2012/09/06/questions-raised-about-indias-nuclear-safety-agency/
