For improving the quality of
life in India with its one billion plus
population, Indian Economy has to ensure its
growth at about 10% per year on a sustainable
basis. For ensuring this DGP growth on a
sustainable basis, one of the most crucial
inputs in the economy department is energy
growth security in general and that all the
electricity and particular fall back on its huge
thorium reserve for generation of electricity
through nuclear power programme. Further,
applications of radioisotopes and radiation
technology in the areas of medicine, industry,
agriculture / food preservation and research are
also of immense importance in the society. In
view of large programme on nuclear power
generation and applications of radioisotopes and
radiation technology, its possibility of
radiation emergency in India can not be ruled
out, particularly because of the possibility of
nuclear materials falling in the hands of the
terrorists that can be used in the form of
Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD), definite
likelihood of popularly known as “dirty bomb”.
For prevention, mitigation & preparedness
and response, a workshop on Nuclear Disaster
Management was organized by National Disaster
Management Authority. The workshop was convened
by Hon’ble Member, Lt. Gen (Dr.) J.R. Bhardwaj
on 17th may, 2006 under the chairmanship of
Hon’ble Vice-Chairman, General N.C. Vij, PVSM,
UYSM, AVSM (Retd), NDMA. A total number of 52
distinguished professionals (as shown in
Annexure-I) from Ministries/Departments
including Department of Atomic Energy, Bhabha
Atomic Research Center, Defence Research &
Development Organization, Ministry of Health and
Family Welfare, Ministry of Home Affairs and
Ministry of Defence.
Consequent to the workshop, a core group (as
shown in Annexure-II) was constituted to prepare
National Guidelines for Nuclear Disaster
Management. Major General, J.K. Bansal, VCM was
appointed as Core Group Coordinator. The first
and second meeting of core group was held under
the chairmanship of Lt. Gen. (Dr) J.R. Bhardwaj,
PVSM, AVSM, VSM, PHS (Retd). A format and a
comprehensive draft were prepared. The draft
constitutes introductory aspects of uses of
radiation, discusses about the present status of
Nuclear Disaster Management, and identified the
critical gaps. The draft has focused on the
guidelines and recommended the detailed roles of
various stakeholders in terms of preventive,
preparedness, capacity development, response at
site and at hospital, rehabilitation, recovery
and research. Subsequently, the activities of
Nuclear Disaster Management were taken over by
Hon’ble Member, Shri B. Bhattacharjee while Lt.
Gen. (Dr) J.R. Bhardwaj continued to be a core
group member. The preparation of guidelines is
under process that is likely to be ready very
soon.
