The Ministry of Home Affairs had asked BARC Director Srikumar Banerjee to explain how the two journalists were allowed to photograph the high-security facility during the visit. “Formal permission for the visit and photography/videography of a few facilities by the journalists was granted by the Department of Atomic Energy almost a year ago in July 2009,” read the press statement. “It is inappropriate to state that the journalists were without permission.”

On March 3 and 4, two journalists from NHK, the sole public broadcaster of Japan, were permitted to take photographs of two research reactors. The statement said a senior scientific officer and security officer escorted the team as per protocol and no rules were overlooked.
