AERB has instituted an online e-Governance system for applicants seeking consent for Radiation Facilities. This is named eLORA (Electronic Licensing of Radiation Applications). This online facility can also be used by Radiation Professionals for registration. Please see the detailed guidelines using the links provided on the eLORA login page. Also see the page for eLORA Guidelines.

For an applicant for meeting the requirements as a part of consenting process it is necessary to fulfil the codal requirements specified in the safety codes published by AERB

The codes that specify the requirements applicable to an NPP are as follows:

• Site evaluation of Nuclear Facilities
• Design of LWR based NPPs
• Design of Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor based Nuclear Power Plants
• Radiation Protection in Nuclear Fuel Cycle Facilities
• Quality Assurance in Nuclear Power Plants
• Renewal of Operating License for Nuclear Power Plant
• Renewal of Licence for Operation of Nuclear Fuel Cycle Facilities other than Nuclear Power Plants and Research Reactors
• Nuclear Power Plant Operation
• Code of Regulation of Nuclear and Radiation Facilities

There are several safety guides available on AERB website that elaborates the guidelines to be followed to meet the requirements specified in the safety codes for various stages of the plant starting from siting stage. Quality assurance (broadly quality management) is an integrated requirement for all stages of NPPs.

Applicant has to abide by the rules given below:

• Atomic Energy (Safe Disposal of Radioactive Wastes) Rules, 1987

An applicant for disposal of radioactive waste has to meet the requirements specified in the safety code published by AERB on the topic given below:

• Management of Radioactive Waste

The guidelines for meeting the requirements of the above mentioned safety codes are available in the following documents published by AERB:

• Predisposal Management of High Level Radioactive Waste
• Classification of Radioactive Waste
• Predisposal Management of Low and Intermediate Level Radioactive Waste
• Management of Spent Radioactive Sources and Radioactive Waste arising from the Use of Radionuclides in Medicine, Industry and Research, including Decommissioning of such facilities
• Management of Radioactive Waste From Mining and Milling of Uranium and Thorium
• Near Surface Disposal of Solid Radioactive Waste
• Management of Radioactive Wastes arising during operation of PHWR Based NPPs
• Liquid and Solid Radwaste Management in Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor Based Nuclear Power Plants

An applicant for consent for transport of radioactive substance has to meet the requirements given in the following codes published by AERB:

• Safe Transport of Radioactive Material
   

Following guidelines elaborate the requirements specified in the codes mentioned above and provide additional guidance to meet these requirements:

 

• Security of Radioactive Material During Transport
