Atomic Energy Regulatory Board twenty five years of safety regulation

This book is a brief historic account of the formation and growth of Atomic Energy Regulatory Board over the past twenty-five years. Given the vast dimensions, both in range and content, of the responsibilities the Board has handled over these years, such an account cannot be in a simple linear format. An attempt has therefore been made to classify these activities into a few major groups and especially deal with those aspects that were challenging to the regulator. A few of the important issues or events which raised the concerns of the Board and sometimes drew public attention have also been discussed. It is hoped that this book will offer the reader an insight into the ways in which the Board has been discharging its mandated functions
