In The Interstices of HolocaustA nuclear reactor disaster could wipe out an entire life world. The township known as CASANAGAR had been established for fisherfolk as part of Tsunami rehabilitation. According to the national and international guidelines, the area within 1.6 km from the reactor must be designated as ‘exclusion zone’ and an area of 5 km radius from the stack must be designated as sterile zone. There should be no unnatural population growth within the sterile area.
So,on second thoughts the inhabitants of CASANAGAR have already entered the list.
Each of the nuclear power plant that will come up in Koodankulam will emit 13 trillion radioactive particles every second.

Koodamkulam is obviously part of the conspiracy for militarization and nuclearisation, at the cost of enormous perils for the living people and future generations.
Where is the so called political opposition?
Where has the shame gone hiding?

Its so sad that even technically inclined and knowledgeable people like us get alerted only when the word “nuclear” is attached to it. There are so many more industries which operate dangerously close to the residential areas, only because the public are clueless. These industries can be harmful in so many more ways than just emitting nuclear radiation. Especially when it comes to the toxic waste that are let out that enter the air, water and soil. We all get to study these kind of lessons in our schools. But the lessons are in those years where we hardly give priority to remembering wisdom and knowledge.

I have been part of a team who had visited Idinjakarai Village (Koodankulam), I write this with anger and agony that a Civil Society like CASA fell in the game of Government Tsunami rehabilitation plan. Whether sphere standards were taken into account before building the houses? The agencies supported this housing programme should be made responsible incase of any danger to the people living in the new settlement that was built by CASA. Either the nuclear reactor has to be shifted or the people have to be taken care of from the radiation. The people were impacted by direct tsunami and now the nuclear reactors…..
I have seen hopelessness in the face of the people for they have been struggling against this nuclear plant proposal from 1986, the eminent danger is in and the Government is planning to install more reactors, rougly 28 villages will be affected both in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, it is test of faith and commitment towards sustainable development.
The people living in this close vicinity to the nuclear reactors will be physically exposed to radiations. Are they are going to be part of a lab test on how the victims are going to face this new evil – the nuclear reactor.
