Atomic Energy Regulator

For more than two decades, promoters and purveyors of nuclear energy felt shunned at UN climate change conferences. At the COP26 summit underway in Glasgow, however, they have been welcomed with open arms, the UN's top nuclear regulator told AFP.

North Korea has accused the UN agency responsible for regulating atomic energy of being a puppet of hostile countries after a new report said the isolated nation's nuclear weapons stockpile was breaking international law.

The United Arab Emirates on Friday delayed the start-up of its first nuclear reactor until 2018 for further safety checks because regulators have not yet granted an operating licence.

A bill seeking to fast-track nuclear power projects is likely to be introduced in the Winter Session of Parliament, while another legislation for according greater autonomy to the atomic energy regulator may not be brought this time.

The Japanese nuclear regulator recommended today that the government find an alternative entity to operate the troubled Monju prototype fast-breeder reactor following a series of problems with the current operator.

Japan's nuclear regulator said an accident on the scale of the 2011 Fukushima disaster would not occur under new safety rules imposed on reactors such as Kyushu Electric Power's Sendai No.1, set to be the first to restart since Fukushima, Japan's Nikkei business daily reported on Saturday.

India's atomic regulatory body is not independent and lacks internal emergency arrangements, a draft report by the global nuclear watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, has said.

Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) has ruled out any deficiency in the construction of a valve in Unit 1 of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant where six people were injured due to spillage of hot water during maintenance work last month.

With the atomic energy regulator's clearance to gradually increase power generation levels to 500 Megawatt at the first unit of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) in Tamil Nadu, the Nuclear Power Corp of India (NPCIL) hopes to connect the plant to the grid this month end, said officials.

The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant or KNPP may become operational in less than two days, when a sustained nuclear chain reaction could begin as India's atomic regulator, the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board or AERB, today gave its approval to the project for commencement of controlled nuclear fission process, a step towards power generation from a nu...

India's atomic energy regulator on Friday said it has given its nod to Nuclear Power Corporation Ltd (NPCIL) to load enriched uranium fuel rods in the first reactor at Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP).

India's atomic energy regulator would decide on the duration of the operational license to be given to the first unit of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) after considering results of various technological tests and reports, an official said on Saturday.

Nuclear fuel loading can finally begin at the Kudankulam nuclear power plant in Tamil Nadu. The nuclear watch dog and regulator in India, Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, has given its permission for fuel loading to begin into the controversial atomic reactor, which is located close to the southern tip of India at Kanyakumari.
