Safety Research Programmes
The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) was set up in November 1983 to carry out certain regulatory and safety functions in the fields of nuclear and radiation safety on a countrywide basis. One of the functions of AERB is to promote and fund research on nuclear and radiation safety as part of its programme. AERB funds for appropriate research projects to members of faculties of universities and other research organizations. The proposals are reviewed by the Committee for Safety Research Programmes (CSRP) constituted by AERB.
The CSRP frames rules, regulations & guidelines and recommend, evaluate and monitor the research projects of various organizations. The Committee recommends financial assistance to universities, research organizations and professional associations for safety research of interest to AERB after scrutinizing the applications received from such organizations.
