Which one of the following statements regarding CISF security set-up in DAE is not correct ?

The security setup for the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) involves a multi-layered approach involving the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and the DAE's internal security department. Statement D is incorrect because the DAE's own Security Department reports to the Inspector General (Security), DAE, who is an IPS officer on deputation to the DAE and reports directly to the Secretary, DAE. While there is a CISF DAE Sector (headed by an IG, CISF), it commands the CISF personnel deployed at DAE units, and the DAE's internal security staff remains under the DAE's administrative control.

• Option A: Correct. CISF provides security to Nuclear Power Plants (NPCIL), Fuel Complexes (NFC), Research Centers (BARC, IGCAR), and Uranium Mines (UCIL).
• Option B: Correct. The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) is the regulatory authority that monitors security arrangements, particularly those having a bearing on safety.
• Option C: Correct. CISF is responsible for the physical protection and escorting of nuclear materials during transit.
