Safety Surveillance of R&D Centres and Industrial Plants

Safety review of Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre
(VECC), Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced
Technology (RRCAT), Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic
Research (IGCAR) and Electronics Corporation of
India Limited (ECIL) was done by AERB apart from
the Fuel Cycle Facilities.
Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced
Technology (RRCAT)

RRCAT had licence for operation of Agricultural
Radiation Processing Facility (ARPF) with TWINDUS
LINAC-1, which is a technological demonstration
