Consenting Process for Radiation Facilities - Atomic Energy ...

adiation processing facility and high energy particle accelerator facility used
for research and industrial processing applications, threetier review is
followed. Threetier review includes safety review and assessment by the
Radiological Safety Division of AERB followed by review in the safety
committee on gamma radiation processing plants (SCOGRAPP) or safety
committee for medical, industrial and tesearch accelerators (SCMIRA) which
is further followed by the review in the apex committee i.e. safety review
committee for applications of radiation (SARCAR).
