Which of the following Boards will be established under the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India Act, 2025?
Atomic Energy Regulatory Board
In India, the safety, security and radiation aspects of nuclear installations are overseen by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB). The AERB is the country's nuclear regulatory authority, responsible for enforcing safety standards, issuing licences and monitoring radiation protection at nuclear and radiation facilities.
Under the framework of the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India Act, 2025, the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board is the relevant statutory regulatory body identified for oversight of the sector as India seeks to expand nuclear-power capacity with greater private participation.
The other listed names — such as a Nuclear Power Development Board, a Central Radiation Monitoring Board or a National Nuclear Safety Board — are not the established regulator here. The correct answer is Atomic Energy Regulatory Board.
