AERB safety steps to take 2 more years [1]

Some suggestions were for a short term and would be completed in six months, while some were long-term

The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) said the safety measures it had recommended to enhance safety at the Kudankulam nuclear plant would be implemented through the next two years. Last year, following the disaster at the nuclear plant in Fukushima, Japan, the AERB had reviewed the safety of all nuclear power plants in the country. An AERB committee had recommended various factors be considered before loading fuel into the Kudankulam plant. However, AERB has faced criticism for agreeing to load the fuel without heeding the recommendations.
