Union Minister V Narayanasamy has mentioned that the production at the Kudankulam Nuclear Plant is expected to start within 15-20 days as the trials runs have been completed.
The Minister of state for Personnel and Public Grievances V Narayanasamy said, “We will start production at the plant within 15-20 days as we have completed the trial run. The power production will slowly start.
The second unit will start by March or April as around 95 per cent of the work is over. NGOs and groups involved in the agitation against the plant were funded by foreign agencies and the home ministry has suspended the companies involved in it. Misleading people is very easy and public outreach is deemed important in a nuclear energy programme. As far as safety is concerned, we need much more research. For the purpose of expanding this programme, three things are important - public outreach, more safety exercises so that we can tell the world that our nuclear energy programme is safe and secure and the third is that the government alone cannot invest so much money for the purpose of expanding the programme.”
