M V Ramana | Recent media reports suggest that all is not well within the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC). Scientists have reportedly written to the Prime Minister seeking intervention in the management of the Centre. Their complaints mostly revolve around internal matters such as harassment and promotions, but an important revelation should be of public concern.
We are reproducing an open letter that has been sent by the former Union Power Secretary Dr. EAS Sarma to the senior officials of the Department of Atomic Energy and the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board after the revelation of regular disposal of contaminated waste water into the Ocean from the Mumbai-based Bhabha Atomic Research.

More importantly, some of the issues raised by the scientists go much beyond the departmental issues and pertain to the deliberate safety malpractices of the BARC.
Union minister hints at radiation leak, scientists and fishermen confirm ecological damage; but no PIL or RTI query has managed to get BARC to release reports on radiation levels around Thane creek.
