We would very much like to thank you for the CAG Report No. 9/2012-13 on the “Activities of Atomic Energy Regulatory Board.†This is a timely and crucial report as it points out so many flaws and problems in the regulatory mechanism of the atomic energy establishment in India. The report also rightly points out the need to bring about an “empowered and independent†Nuclear Safety Regulatory Authority with strength to its hands and teeth to bite.
