The Mission of the AERB is to ensure the use of ionising radiation and nuclear energy in India does not cause undue risk to the health of people and the environment.

The radiation workers are required to handle the radiation sources as per the procedures laid down by AERB to ensure that their radiation doses are “As low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA)”, while ensuring that exposures remain within the dose limits prescribed by the Regulatory Body.

Use large shielding thickness (High Z materials eg Lead, Steel, Concrete, etc) - reduce the exposure rate of gamma/X-ray radiation. The Mission of the AERB is to ensure the use of ionising radiation and nuclear energy in India does not cause undue risk to …

Dec 21, 2024 · In the complex landscape of medical radiation protection, two primary regulatory bodies stand as pillars of safety and standardization: the International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP) and national regulatory authorities such as …

Nov 6, 2016 · The document discusses the history of radiation protection, including early pioneers who discovered radiation hazards and effects. It describes some key events like the establishment of the ICRP and AERB, and definitions of key radiation terms.

Mar 17, 2018 · The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) regulates and controls radiation exposure in India. It was formed in 1983 under the Atomic Energy Act and ensures safe use of radiation and nuclear energy. AERB develops safety policies, guidelines and standards.

AERB has been issuing Safety Directives from 1991 to reduce the occupational exposures to radiation in a phased manner in order to meet the dose limits recommended in ICRP-60 (1990).

May 1, 2002 · These are the International Commission for Radiation Protection (ICRP), the National Commission for Radiation Protection (NCRP) in America, and the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) in...

Activities concerning establishment and utilisation of nuclear facilities and use of radioactive sources are to be carried out in India in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, 1962.

This paper outlines the methodology of regulatory control exercised by AERB for safe use of the radioactive materials and the radiation generating equipment in the country.
