FOREWORD Activities concerning establishment and utilisation of nuclear facilities and use of radioactive sources are to be carried out in India in accordance with the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, 1962. In pursuance of the objective of ensuring safety of members of the public and occupational workers as well as protection of the environment, the atomic energy regulatory board (AERB) has been entrusted with the responsibility of laying down safety standards and enforcing rules and regulations for such activities. The Board, therefore, has undertaken a programme of developing safety standards, codes and related guides and manuals for the purpose. While some of these documents cover aspects such as siting, design, construction, operation, quality assurance and decommissioning of nuclear and radiation facilities, other documents cover regulatory aspects of these facilities. Safety codes and standards are formulated on the basis of nationally and internationally accepted safety criteria for design, construction and operation of specific equipment, systems, structures and components of nuclear and radiation facilities. Safety codes establish the objectives and set requirements that shall be fulfilled to provide adequate assurance for safety. Safety guides elaborate various requirements and furnish approaches for their implementation. Safety manuals deal with specific topics and contain detailed scientific and technical information on the subject. These documents are prepared by experts in the relevant fields and are extensively reviewed by advisory committees of the Board before they are published. The documents are revised when necessary, in the light of experience and feedback from users as well as new developments in the field. AERB issued a safety code on ‘Regulation of Nuclear and Radiation Facilities’ (AERB/ SC/G) to spell out the requirements/obligations to be met by a nuclear or radiation facility for the issue of regulatory Consent at every stage. This safety guide apprises the details of the regulatory requirements for setting up the radiation facility. such as consenting process, the stages requiring consent, wherever applicable documents to be submitted and the nature and extent of review. The guide also gives information on methods of review and assessment adopted by AERB. Consistent with the accepted practice, ‘shall’ and ‘should’ are used in the guide to distinguish between a firm requirement and a desirable option respectively. Appendices are an integral part of the document, whereas annexures, bibliography and list of participants are included to provide further information that might be helpful to the user. Approaches for implementation different to those set out in the guide may be acceptable, if they provide comparable assurance against undue risk to the health and safety of the occupational workers and the general public, and protection of the environment. For aspects not covered in this guide, applicable national and international standards, codes and guides acceptable to AERB should be followed. Non-radiological aspects i
such as industrial safety and environmental protection are not explicitly considered in this guide. Industrial safety shall be ensured by compliance with the applicable provisions of the Factories Act, 1948 and the Atomic Energy (Factories) Rules, 1996. The guide has been prepared by AERB staff. It has been reviewed by experts and the Advisory Committee on Preparation of Code and Guides and on Governmental Organisation for Nuclear and Radiation Facilities (ACCGORN). AERB wishes to thank all individuals and organisations who have prepared and reviewed the draft and helped in its finalisation. The list of experts, who have participated in this task, along with their affiliations, is included for information. (S. S. Bajaj) Chairman, AERB ii
