Sri Lanka concerned over Indian nuclear plants

[Ahmad Abdullah Ravian]

Sri Lanka is concerned over nuclear power plants in neighboring India and has decided to establish a body which will monitor any security concerns which may arise from the South Asian giant. The Sri Lankan cabinet has approved the establishment of Atomic Energy Regulatory Council which will address the security concerns of radioactive sources and deal with radiation emergencies, the government said in a statement Thursday. "Since Sri Lanka is in close proximity to the Nuclear Power Stations in South India, it has been found necessary to establish an independent regulatory arm in keeping with the advice given by the International Atomic Energy Agency," the statement said. Sri Lanka and India are divided by just a narrow strip of sea known as the 'Palk Straits'and the recent nuclear disaster in Japan put Sri Lanka on alert over the threat the island may face if such a disaster occurred in South India.

Well Yes, The nuclear facility to the south has already faced earthquakes and Tsunami's before, Indian Nuclear reactors are safe enough, India has a Good Tsunami warning system... Although I admire the Lankans for that extra step for there people.... India is moving towards renewable energy

I don't see it as a threat at all to SL. Think about this; the Tsunami in 2005 that we had, there was no nuclear disaster unlike Fukushima. Our plants withstood the nature's fury beautifully and it was the water that did most of the damage. Good additional step by the Lankans though. Always better to be safe than sorry.

But they have to check that in the pacific right?

Don't worry kundamkulam is not yet fueled

 

[Abingdonboy]

Why are they concerned? Indian nuclear plants are the latest, state of the art facilities- far more advanced than Japanese plants and even still PM MMS ordered a review into threat levels. There is nothing to worry about Fukishima was a bad example.

There's a reason why Nuclear plants are usually built close to water.

 

[footmarks]

So your name is "nobody" right?

Thanks for the advise anyway. By the same theory, pakistan should not have any nuclear plant anywhere.

Im not sure which dimension you live in. Indian nuclear facilities are not the ones being called to show greater transparency in our dimension . Rather, its a small country called Pakistan. Its almost as if you took the popular statements associated with the word Pakistan and replaced it with "india". Buddy, you can cry your heart out for all i care. But, i hope you know that isn't going to change reality of a crumbling Pakistan.
