Karwar: Kaiga Nuclear Plant Poses No Health Hazard - NPCL

Karwar, June 11 (PTI) There has been no increase in morbidity patterns due to radiation in any nuclear power plant in the country, including Kaiga, and the radiation dose to the public is well within AERB stipulations, officials said today.

"The operation of nuclear power plants poses no health hazard to the surrounding population. Indeed the radiation dose to the public at all nuclear power plants over the years has been a very small fraction of the limit stipulated by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board," Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited said in a press release here today.

The clarifications came in the wake of doubts expressed in a section of media over the radiation level at Kaiga nuclear power plant, which recently saw a fire alarm go off due to a technical snag in a power generating unit.

    Karwar is being a easy place for acquiring land from people for any central government needs. The quiet nature of Karwar people is taken for granted.

    Denuding of forest cover, release of more pollutants to atmosphere, damage to ozone layer,use of pesticides with gay abandon & industrial effluents as well as harmful gasses to atmosphere -
