AERB receives ISO 9001:2000 certification

Mumbai, Nov 16 (UNI) The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) today obtained ISO 9001:2000 certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) after a detailed evaluation ensuring that AERB's quality management systems conformed to the specific standards.

AERB has the mandate to enforce rules and regulations promulgated under the Atomic Energy Act 1962 for protecting workers, members of the public and the environment from undue hazards of ionizing radiations.

The safety status of nuclear and radiation installations in India is comparable with the best in the world. This is being achieved through maintaining highest standards by way of conducting in-depth safety reviews and regulatory inspections of nuclear and radiation facilities in the country.

AERB has done exhaustive review that led to implementation of several retrofits and safety upgrades in the older nuclear power plants at Tarapur, Rawalbhata and Kalpakkam and safety clearance for start up and operation of Taps Units 384, a statement said.
