Document Development
Development of Regulatory Safety
Documents
AERB develops and lays down safety requirements
and guidance for utilities and users in the form of
Regulatory Safety Documents (REGDOCs). These
REGDOCs are issued under provisions of Atomic
Energy (Radiation Protection) Rules, 2004. The
REGDOCs are developed with a view to cover the
entire spectrum of regulated Nuclear and Radiation
New Safety Documents Published
Safety Guide on
“Remediation of Areas
Affected by Radioactive
Contamination” [AERB/
NRF/SG/RW-9, 2019]
provides guidance
for planning and
implementing remediation
of areas affected by
radioactive contamination,
protective and remedial
actions that are intended
to reduce the existing
exposure and to avert
potential for the likelihood
of such exposure from the
related contamination.

facilities and activities, as applicable, with graded
approach.
AERB has established a process for Revision/
Development of REGDOCs for use in regulation of
Nuclear, Fuel Cycle and Radiation Facilities. REGDOC
undergoes multi-tier review during its preparation.
Experts, utility and stakeholders are involved in
the development of the regulations and guides by
direct involvement as well as through comments and
feedback throughout the development process.
