Nuclear Safety Regulatory Authority

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.

Discussion on the key Nuclear Safety Regulatory Authority (NSRA) Bill are likely to take place in the next Parliament session, Government today said.

The head of Japan's new nuclear regulatory agency said on Thursday that reactors will not be allowed to restart until they pass seismic inspections and meet new safety standards to be instituted next year.

An Information Commission with the Central Information Commission, Sailesh Gandhi, has written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh against diluting the Right to Information (RTI) Act to shield nuclear safety regulators from coming under its purview.
