Statement of the People’s Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE) against India’s first Away From Reactor Spent Fuel Storage Facility (AFR) proposed to be set up at the Koodankulam power project site

PMANE Statement | Our common spacecraft, the Earth, has been hijacked by some ten nuclear powers. There is a growing discontent and rivalry among the hijackers. They are all getting restless and even reckless. Their nuclear bravado will mean death and destruction, ill-health and immense suffering to all the 7.5 billion ‘passengers’ on the craft.

Some twenty-five volunteers belonging to the People’s Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE) are undertaking a Train Yatra from Kanyakumari station at 11 pm on February 19, 2015, Thursday for our second anti-nuclear campaign across the country. We will be heading to Dibrugarh, Assam by the longest train in India, Vivek Express (Train No. 15905), through the states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal and Nagaland. Throughout the trip, we will be distributing handbills in Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Odiya, Bengali, Assamese, Hindi and English.

The allegedly best and the most perfect reactor in the whole wide world, certified repeatedly by Dr. Abdul Kalam, Mr. Alexander Kadakin, Mr. Vladimir Putin and a whole array of others is heading in a dangerous direction. It is pertinent to consider the colossal time overrun of some six years in making the first reactor go critical and in commissioning it. The Koodankulam authorities have been on a diesel buying spree from then on and have spent a whopping sum of some 35 crores on it so far.
