| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Nuclear energy, though a viable source of generating electric power, needs to be used carefully. Any nuclear disaster not only affects the health and lives of the population but also leads to decline of the area politically and economically. Fukushima and Chernobyl incidents have issued serious warnings to India that when Japan, a country better-equipped and more technically advanced than India could suffer such a disaster then India needs to review its nuclear safety norms, nuclear establishments and plans for disaster mitigation. |
