It is possible that the protogonists of nuclear technology will soon succeed in effacing the memory of Fukushima from the public mind, by taking advantage of the fact that the hydrocarbon resources of the world are fast depleting and by flaunting the anti-carbon climate concerns of the global community, to push the world towards a nuclear future.
Hearing a recent PIL against India’s current nuclear policy and the need for an independent nuclear regulator, the Supreme Court wanted to know about a few examples of an independent regulatory mechanism. Top nuclear expert A Gopalakrishnan presents the French , the Canadian, and the U.S.models (Editorial Comment in DNA) [...]
For very many years I have been a supporter of nuclear power plants, on the premise “Bomb No, but Power Yes”.
The proponents of nuclear power have been saying that it is cheap, green and can be a major part of the future energy policy.
As they say “War is too important to be left to the Generals”, the decision on Nuclear Power is too critical from the perspective of the overall welfare of our communities to be decided by a handful of people in the nuclear establishment.
AERB: Mera Joota Nahin hai Japani

Those of us in the Japanese society cannot export overseas our daily suffering from radioactive contamination as a result of the accident at TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
All these studies indicate that an accident scenario for the 1100 MW Size-well reactor can be used to predict the socio-economic consequences of a nuclear accident for the different sites.
No Parliamentary Committee had discussed the reliability and performance of the “peaceful nuclear” program. Since the safer and economical sources of energy like water, wind and solar are available to us, there is no need to mortgage life and liberties of future generations to potentially hazardous nuclear power.
There has been substantial public debate recently on a host of issues such as climate change,genetically modified crops and nuclear power; a common theme running through these issues involves science and public policy. This presentation will be based broadly on three interlinked themes: growth of specialization in science, significant commercial interests pushing science and technology, and a checkered track record of the promises-made and the broken-reality.
VT Padmanabhan, R Ramesh and V Pugazhendi Though the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) has been assertive about the fail-safe features of the reactors in India, the Post Fukushima Task Force appointed by SK Jain, CMD of NPCIL speaks in a different tone.
