Former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam on Sunday visited the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project said it was ‘completely safe’ as it is located in a low frequency seismic zone, a view rejected by the locals.
Mr. Kalam made it clear that he had not come as an emissary of the Union government and would not be a mediator between the nuclear establishment and protesters opposing the plant.
He Said all safety aspects, including automatic cooling of the plant in the event of generator failure after power goes off, ‘double wall’ protection for KNPP workers inside and outside, structural safety and container to store the 25 per cent residual fuel from the plant have
been provided.
He said ‘Bath Tub’ facility has been provided to flush core melt waste. There is a solution in the tub which will take care of all radiation problems. There will be no radiation at all. The workers inside and outside the plant are 100 per cent safe.
