[ RadSafe ] Fukushima: UN Special Rapporteur I have interacted with Mr Anand Grover

[Roger Helbig]

Sounds like he is somewhat an anti-nuclear person under the UN's
umbrella.  Is that right, that he is probably not an impartial judge?
I am going to look for his report in English.  Thank you.

Roger

If I recall correctly, the interaction was in relation to a public interest litigation filed by an NGO against the import of butter allegedly contaminated with radionuclides from the Chernobyl accident. He was then a member of a lawyers collective and argued the case for the NGO. NGO lost the case.I have submitted some documents on how the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board prescribed the permissible levels of radionuclides in food items. The NGO appealed in the Supreme Court. There also the case was decided against the NGO. My letter to the court as an expert was one of the inputs which helped the court to arrive at a decision,
