V.S opposes plan for new Kudankulam nuclear unit

V S Achuthanandan expressed concern over the plans to set up two more reactors at Kundankulam. The former Kerala chief minister said in a statement here that the existing units at Kudankulam Nuclear power plant had triggered safety concerns.

India and Russia had last month signed an agreement for setting up of two more units at Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in Tirunelveli.

“We have not received an answer so far to the question where residues of the nuclear plant were being processed,” he said. KNPP, an Indo-Russian joint venture, is operating two units of 1000 MW each presently.

The CPM had taken a stand from the beginning that work on the nuclear power plant had to be started only after addressing concerns of the people, but it was not considered,  V.S said
