Hydrological dispersion of radioactive materials in relation to nuclear power plant siting

Since the inception of nuclear power development in the country, maintenance of high safety standards has been assigned prime importance. Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) has been entrusted with the responsibility of laying down safety standards and frame rules and regulations in respect of regulatory and safety functions envisaged under the Atomic Energy Act 1962. In preparation of the codes and guides emphasis is on protection of site personnel and public from undue radiological hazard. This safety guide on hydrological dispersion of radioactive material in relation to NPP siting outlines the methodology and procedures for carrying out analysis as applicable for implementing the relevant parts of the code of practice on safety in nuclear power plant siting published by AERB earlier
