It was so hard for all of you to find even one source of a radiation leak in India huh?
Well, my first try just to shut you guys up....its pathetic. Really, how blindsided are you guys?

Kakrapar nuclear power plant confirms radiation leak
Himansshu Bhatt, TNN Aug 1, 2011, 10.55pm IST
SURAT: Following reports in the media on Monday, officials of the Kakrapar atomic power station (KAPS) confirmed on Monday that four contract workers were exposed to nuclear radiation in the plant on May 30, 2011 due to human error of the control room staff. However, they said that the radiation was of a very minor level and that it had no effect on the health of the workers.
KAPS is situated at 75 km from Surat and about 12 km from Vyara which is the main city of Tapi district. It produces 440 MW from two units of 220 MW each which went critical in 1993 and 1995. Two more units of 700 MW each are being built and the work will be completed by 2015.
This is caused by human error the one type of error that cannot be predicted or prepared against.

Mayapuri radiological accident
In April 2010, the locality of Mayapuri was affected by a serious radiological accident.[1] An AECL Gammacell 220 research irradiator owned by Delhi University since 1968, but unused since 1985, was sold at auction to a scrap metal dealer in Mayapuri on February 26, 2010.[2][3][4] The orphan source arrived at Deepak Jain' scrap yard in Mayapuri during March, where it was dismantled by workers unaware of the hazardous nature of the device. The cobalt-60 source was cut into eleven pieces. The smallest of the fragments was taken by Ajay Jain (no relation to Deepak Jain), who kept it in his wallet, two fragments were moved to a nearby shop, while the remaining eight remained in the scrap yard. All of the sources were recovered by mid-April and transported to the Narora Atomic Power Station, where it was claimed that all radioactive material originally contained within the device was accounted for. The material remains in the custody of the Department of Atomic Energy[5][6][7][8]
Eight people were hospitalised as a result of radiation exposure, where one later died.[9]

Just to show you how we dont even have a proper check and disposal for such products.....but you want to go ahead and kick out the fishermen. Sad, you guys cant even see the cheap tactics of Congress and the BJP

Google it yourself....the answers and research is there....WHY DO YOU THINK RADIATION IS THE ONLY CONCERN? HEAVY METALS AND TOXIC CHEMICALS FROM SUCH REACTORS ARE KNOWN CARCINOGENS...
