Despite orders from the CIC for making safety analysis, site evaluation and environmental impact assessment reports of the controversial Kudunkulam Nuclear Plant Project public, Nuclear Power Corp is refusing to do so. A story of an RTI applicant’s fight for transparency
The recent inspection conducted by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) clearing the commissioning of the first unit of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant after which the government attempted to begin operations, led to protests by people. This time one person was killed in police firing.
A petition has now been filed in the Supreme Court against the green signal given to the plant to begin operation without ensuring the 17 crucial safety measures recommended by the Centre’s task force, being put in order.
It is also the lack of transparency and refusal by the government to share vital information in public interest of this nearly Rs4,000-crore Kudankulam Nuclear Plant in Trivunelveli district of Tamilnadu that has perhaps precipitated the crisis since early 2011.
