Pat for India at IAEA convention
Mumbai: India got a pat on its back at a key IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) convention for steps taken to ensure foolproof safety of its 17 operating nuclear plants and six under construction with probability of any untoward incident being extremely remote.
The country’s first national report on nuclear power plants safety came in for all-round appreciation at the fourth Review Meeting of the Convention on Nuclear Safety in Vienna under the IAEA aegis, said Chairman of the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) S.K. Sharma on Wednesday. The convention lauded India for its work on probabilistic safety assessment which demonstrates that the probability of any untoward incident is extremely small (less than 0.000001 per year), Mr. Sharma told PTI.
India’s strong nuclear programme with comprehensive capability for the entire nuclear fuel cycle and the strong technical support from the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research also came in for high praise, said Mr. Sharma, who led a 17-member, high-level Indian delegation. —PTI
