Sri Lanka wants involvement in monitoring mechanism over Kudankulam: Report

COLOMBO: Sri Lanka wants a closer involvement in the monitoring mechanism of Kudankulam nuclear power plant and will step up diplomatic efforts to achieve this, a media report said on Sunday.

Earlier this month, India and Sri Lanka discussed issues related to nuclear safety at Kudankulam after concerns were raised here over the risks faced by the island from the project.

"More diplomatic efforts will be made soon to enable Sri Lanka to get more involved in the monitoring mechanism at the plant which has caused serious concerns in both countries," Karunatilleke Amunugama, secretary to the ministry of external affairs was quoted as saying by the Sunday Times newspaper today.

Amunugama says that officials from the local atomic energy authority and related experts need to get involved and keep the government informed.

Sri Lanka maintains that while India has the right to further its own atomic energy aims, Sri Lanka is equally entitled to pursue its safety interests.

Amunugama commended the bilateral approach taken by both countries to address concerns over the project in Tamil Nadu.

On October 12, during a bilateral meeting on nuclear cooperation, India had assured Sri Lanka on its concerns over the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in Tamil Nadu, telling the other side that it was a state-of-the-art plant that was compliant with the highest safety standards.

Not a bad idea. India can gift Sri Lanka some Geiger-Muller counters. They can be used all over the island and monitor all that can be monitored.

sri lanka can shift its position few hundred miles away from india

Gives the proximity to Sri Lanka - the Sri Lankans have a genuine concern. Sri Lankan concerns must be addressed satisfactorily.

indian hegemony.....india has to take care of SL's fear about nuclear plant into account too when any nuke accident/fallout can have adverse effect at SL's northern areas too.

India's hegemony demands that India supply Geiger-Muller counters forthwith to SriLanka to monitor radiation.

Actually even the fish in Palk Straits are protesting Indian hegemony in that area. So what can be done about that?
Give them lead-lined anti-radiation suits perhaps.

Simple ...either scrap the projects as the protesting residents of Kudankulam are demanding or shift the reactors inland from where it can't have effect on SL....Waise bhi if you wana commit suicide then do it alone .Why do you want SL to commit suicide along with you......

They certainly won't get that preference.

Then it should be forced on GOI.

This is an internal matter for India and Sri lanka.We don't need any advice from Pakistanis about how to solve it.

 

[I spikes therefore I am]

I think SL soon become part of India union.

If you have spine then cut it to size otherwise allow it to have a say in monitoring of Kudankulam nuclear power plant

Who will dare to force.

SL and indian people.

This is an internal matter for India and Sri lanka.We don't need any advice from Pakistanis about how to solve it.

Nope its not a internal matter when it poses danger to SL.
