Anti-Nuclear Movement in India: Protests in Kudankulam and Jaitapur / Khan, Ajmal   Journal Article
Khan, Ajmal Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article discusses two prominent protest movements in India responding to nuclear energy expansion, protests related to the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project in Tamil Nadu and the Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project in Maharashtra. Partly based on ethnographic fieldwork at both sites, the article argues that these protest movements are substantially different from anti-nuclear mobilisations outside South Asia. Indian nuclear-related protest movements problematise the tensions of development and environment from a grassroots perspective but struggle with opposing claims that more energy is needed. Locally, project-affected people do not trust government agencies to protect them and the local environment against creeping pollutions and potential disasters. Above all, local grievances are directed against high-handed procedures of compensating project-affected persons. Seen from this angle, these protest movements are in effect contributing to the arduous process of democratisation of governance regarding the constantly changing modalities of expanding energy provisions in India.

Kudankulam conundrum: need for deeper analysis / Sethi, Manpreet   Journal Article
Sethi, Manpreet Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract The first of the two 1,000 MW nuclear power plants under construction for the last decade 1 at Kudankulam was due to become operational before the end of this year. What it stares at instead is a delayed future after the Tamil Nadu Cabinet passed a resolution in September 2011 to suspend work on the nuclear reactor. Chief Minister Jayalalitha claimed to have been compelled to do so in response to the public protests against the nuclear plant, and she certainly had an eye on the local elections that were due less than a month before the protests broke out. 2
