PM Assures Full Safety On Kudankulam N-Project

New Delhi, Oct 7: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said there would be no compromise on safety in the pursuit of the nuclear programme and decided to set up a group of experts to satisfy the legitimate concerns of those opposed to the Kudankulam atomic power plant.

“Nothing will be done that would threaten the safety or livelihood of any section of society, particularly those living in the vicinity of a project,” Singh told an delegation that met him with demands to stop work on the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project.

The first 1000 MWe nuclear power plant, which is set to be commissioned later this year, has run into a series of protests from locals who have voiced concerns over safety in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear accident.
