Kudankulam Plant On Alert

Work at the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) was not affected in the wake of a massive earthquake in Indonesia triggering fears of a tsunami, though the plant is "generally on alert," a top official said today.

The Prime Minister has once again urged Jayalalithaa emphasizing the importance of the nuclear plant at Kudankulam in Tamil Nadu. He alerts her to the fact that if the plant is not allowed to become functional, "this would impact on the state's development and industrialization plans."
