Re: Kudankulam plant cannot be allowed to remain idle: PM | |
On Board PM's Special Aircraft, Dec 17 (PTI) | |
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said the Kudankulam Nuclear Power plant, whose commissioning has been stalled due to protests, cannot be allowed to remain "idle" when the nation has sunk an amount of Rs 14,000 crore on the project. |
Abandon Nuclear Power
Nuclear Power is posing an extreme threat to the very existence of life in the present context due to the cumulative dangers of modern civilisation. It must be abandoned now. It will make no difference to society except relieve it of an insoluble problem of incurable diseases for many generations.

The Preventive Therapy By the Kudankulamese for Nucular Mania
By National Fishworkers’ Forum
http://www.countercurrents.org/nff301212.htm
Koodankulam is all set to witness a different event; where people from various walks of life, from across India will be joining to celebrate New Year with the local people of the coastal villages of Tamil Nadu
Man is still groping and raping Mother Earth
In the utter myopia of Plutoniuma's Maya
Uraniuma!
Nothing more tragic than the utter heaviness
Of the whole magic of fission
Creating a witch's brew
Juice infinitely costly!
Jharkhandi Uranium mines
Destroyed families in Jaduguda
The specialists forged the truth
Of the Internal emitters Uranium
The true facts only now revealed
Because others came to know
Independently the truth!
Creating a witch's brew
Created radionuclides
Which entered the biosphere
Each and every web of nature
Poisoned for millennia
Energy audits revealed
Only these killers receive
All the energy so produced
And more from Society
Years passed with nukes
The energy for people
Forever short
All life converted
Into nucular wastes
Extinction.
Brave are the Kudankulamese
Who are sharpening the knife
The democratic sword
To wield in time to yield
Forever non-clonal life
Healthy production
Healthy consumption
Healthy return
Of all taken from the one and only
Loving Mother Earth.
You will succeed by right action
In achieving your values
Which will shine everlastingly universally
Its the universe and the fight is for life
Forever in Health
Unity in Diversity.
Mankind non-homogeneous
We have hope in your non-homogeneity.
The good will overcome this evil
The entire nuke fuel cycle must be
Dismantled and the biosphere protected
There is only that one way for living.

With such interlinked dangers of cumulative effects of modern civilization therefore applying the precautionary principle:
Abandon Nuclear Power Plants and phase out modern civilization and adopt a normal way of life which returns to mother earth whatever it takes from her, on a war footing worldwide.

Abandon Nuclear Power
Nuclear Reactors Pose Extinction Level Dangers And Must be Abandoned Now.
R. Ashok Kumar
draft for presentation to the members of parliament
8 August 2011
The nuclear catastrophe at Fukushima Daichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan on 11 March 2011 is exposing the world to radionuclides and heavy ionising radiation many million times that due to the atomic bombs that were exploded in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. This exposure will last centuries. It will likely cause millions of excess infant mortalities in India alone in the years to come and millions of excess cancers in the world and many other diseases. After a massive 9 MM magnitude earthquake that occurred near the nuclear plant and tsunami, cores of three nuclear reactors-1 ,2,3 completely melted within a few hours after the earthquake after cooling systems were damaged and a meltthrough from the containment into the ground is feared. Reactors 1,3 and the spent fuel pool stored in Reactor No 4 building caught fire. The explosion of the reactor 3 caused radionuclides- the fission products to go into the atmosphere and into the jet stream exposing the world to harmful effects of radiation for many generations. Now the fuel rods stored in the reactor buildings may be the cause of measurements of radiation of more than 10 Sieverts(which cause death in a few hours to those exposed) which have been registered with the meters going off scale at this level in the plant. Applying the precautionary principle, we the undersigned request the members of parliament to prevail upon the government to abandon nuclear power forever. The reasoning for this is extremely serious - life is being threatened with extinction level events like this because of the severity of the cumulative effects of our modern consumptive ways of living- polluting the soil air and water by extraction and burning of minerals and fuels, by requiring enormous amounts of water through dams and converting fertile soil into sheds for satisfying our destructive needs. This great earthquake - which is a man made one will not be alone. Shortly, but before next June, another one is expected in the same region- the Pacific Ring of Fire which may also lead to vast and additional dangers. And more and more and so on. This is because the dangerous infrastructure we have created-nuclear reactors and dams will react with one another to continue to cause havocs. The nuclear reactors will require additional coal plants to be set up to manufacture materials so they can be constructed and this requires additional water and that means in cascade more and more dams. The enormous forces so generated have increased the frequency with which such disasters are occurring until the whole cumulative effect is a series of extinction level events. Added to this is the fact that a nuclear reactor programme anywhere is an enormous consumer of energy- so huge that in a gluttonous growth phase for additional power and water - no energy will be available for society other than that for the nuclear industry itself. And because of the slow and costly nature of the process, to make any substantial dent in meeting the needs of the economy during this phase, will likely last for generations! We must turn our backs to this kind of blind and self destructive progress now. There are many ways in which continuing in this path can be seen to be suicidal.
You may get an insight into the urgency of our plea when you notice that what Mahatma Gandhi practiced as a message, is more relevant now than ever before:
India is blessed by spiritual and physical energy. Therefore there should be production by the masses, rather than mass production of unnecessary and superfluous things. Looking at the power of human beings alone, we observe that a billion hands and legs means 100000 Megawatts(MW) of power! At 50% load factor this means 50000 MW! And note that we can return our wastes to the fields from where we got our food in a way that is acceptable to nature. The extremely dangerous nuclear power nowhere stands even a remote chance by comparison. By proper energy substitution and change of our felt needs we can do wonders without the curse of nuclear energy. As we are seeing before our very eyes, the most advanced nuclearised nation- Japan- is now in tatters and tears and they are backtracking from this devil as far as they themselves are concerned. Germany is backing off from nuclear reactors. Our parliamentarians can use this golden opportunity to turn from this destruction of life itself. And embrace what we are best endowed with- the sun’s rays- through its myriad life systems- forests, pedal power, vapour absorption air conditioning, capstan operated mechanical advantaged lifts, maintaining a proper balance between where we work and where we live and manufacturing goods when we want where we want! The transport can be better with buses, trains, trams and ships. Our coastline is vast. We can harness shipping for goods transport and save energy by up to 70 percent compared to individual road transport. Forests and groundwaters can replace many dams.
Let us not put our money in nuclear energy which is killing us. By doing so, we will become extinct.

The great Fukushima blackhole
They started from 1950. They built reactors and nuclear power programmes mushroomed in Japan, USA,France,UK, Germany,USSR..They thought every increment of nuclear power would be available to meet the load demand. They were mistaken. All the power went to feed the nuclear industry itself. 445 nuclear reactors in the world 400 GW. Not a watt available to the society outside of the nuke industry.
See http://energyauditofnuclearfuelcycles.blogspot.com/
After Fukushima manmade n disaster, Germany backed out and wants to phase out, Japan appears to back out,France?!?
My analysis of the Indian situation, pre nuclear and post makes the most disturbing revelation: Fukushima is an extinction event.
With Fukushima exposed to the biosphere through the groundwater, air,solid earth and ocean, the source radiation from the fission products may be enough to cause enough infant mortalities in India alone to make India’s human population unstable. See http://indiapopulation.blogspot.com/

Nuclear major accident probability was claimed at 1 in 1 million per reactor year. Little did they realise that human fallibility combined with ignorance of the cumulative effects of modern civilisation would home in and cause major accidents at 10 per 20000 reactor years or 1 in every 2000 reactor years- there are some 400 reactors- which means a major accident every five years! And more as we see great earthquakes occurring when dam contents surge in cumulative fashion: See http://glaringlacuna.blogspot.com/
People the world over must come to grips with the potential holocaust and take over the reins to check the rot. The time for business as usual is over. Nuclear deal makers open your brains and have a heart!
The problem is so acute that the cumulative effects of modern civilisation are striking at the very roots of survival of all life. Please act nations wake up. Heed for example BUSBY’S finding that it is 1000 times the radlevel at Fukushima compared to the atmospheric test fallout and act NOW. Isolate the nuclear reactors and spent fuel pools as quickly as possible from the biosphere. SOS SOS
