Do we need Koodankulam Nuclear Reactor Plant?

Needs will always be there and no matter how much secure we think it is, it will never be totally safe.. Nuclear Energy is never good and never will be.. Even the nuclear dump stays radio active and still we are not able to figure out the solution to dump it. The simple point is : Nuclear is not the solution no matter how much is the crises.

But according to statistics nuclear power has better safety records than coal fired electricity and fewer environmental issues as well, the main problem seems to be the waste disposal which still has not been successfully managed...

No one cleared my doubt yet.
Still energy crisis in Tamil nadu exists or not?

Hello Sandhya Mam, the electric energy cirisis is still exists in Tamilnadu. In Chennai city alone, they stop the power for two hours. But in the villages, they supply the power for only 6 to 7 hours.

This is the current situation in Tamilnadu.

In kerala, we have 1 hour power cut daily.....half hour each, mornings and evenings

The situation is better in kerala than tamilnadu. Actually we can save the power by switching off the lights and fan when not in use. Even the government has to take some actions to save power.

There was a time not so far off in the past when Tamilnadu used to sell power to neighboring state mainly Karnataka because we used to have a power shortage during summer, and things have not improved there...

Yes we need koodankulam nuclear reactor plant. Because we are suffering lots of power cuts.

At a time when power scarcity is hardly hit in Tamilnadu, a nature friendly nuclear reactor will be the best option to cop up with the current situation.But everyone is opposing it due to fear on its security.. I invite everyone to share ur viewpoints on it..

Safety first. We have seen what happened in a technologically developed country like Japan. If all the requirements are met, why not,?
WE CAN GO FOR kOODANKULAM.

Hm thats a striking point. . Currently there is 12 hour power cut in tamilnadu. . May be this is artificial scarcity to make people approve koodankulam project. .

I think Abdul Kalam is an expert who is capable of giving valid comments about security there.. he has given his full support for koodankulam project.. then y this protest??? simply based on foreign funds..

Manu just tell me, are you from Kerala or Tamil nadu?

Generation of power i very important in Tamil Nadu. May be due to some problem such scarcity is occuring. It may be artificial or in general. Just a month ago or two, such scarcity took place in Kolkata and Delhi. Government will definately do something in this regard.

Security concerns should be met. Various sources of energy including nuclear should be compared for cost effectiveness and other related issues like availability of raw material etc. The best should be selected. This is technical issue and and hence only those expert in relevant field may give authentic comments.

I think Dr.Abdul Kalam is capable of commenting abt security there.. he has given his full support for this reactor..
Check out this blog for other senior official commenting abt security in reactors..
'30 years next to a nuclear plant did not affect us'- said by one of the senior official working in Reactor.

Needs will always be there and no matter how much secure we think it is, it will never be totally safe.. Nuclear Energy is never good and never will be.. Even the nuclear dump stays radio active and still we are not able to figure out the solution to dump it. The simple point is : Nuclear is not the solution no matter how much is the crises.

But this concern should hav been raised 18 years back when they proposed this project.. After investing Rs.1800 crore, whats the point of protesting against it..?????????!!!!!!!!!

Good thinking Mary.. We need practical decisions like this one.. You hav my same thoughts..

Here is list of biggest electricity producing countries. India is at fifth position. But in view of higher population, this is not satisfactory. A comparison of sources of electricity in these countries will be helpful. Germany is the country with more nuclear energy. India needs to assess which form of energy will suit us considering our prime raw material sources, cost analysis, security issue etc.

But we hav spend 1800 crores on this project.. Wats the point of protesting against this now.. ??? we can implicitly see Foreign funds coming from srilanka and america for the protest..
