Big deal

  • India, Japan may sign a nuclear deal during Shinzo Abe’s visit
  • The deal will fast-track the French’s nuclear project in Jaitapur
  • It’ll enable supply of key parts for Mithi Virdi, Kovvada plants

Heavy price

  • Jaitapur plant will wreck one of world’s 10 Hottest Biodiversity Hotspots
  • It’ll also destroy the livelihoods of nearly 40,000 people
  • Areva’s reactors, used at Jaitapur, have been flagged for safety concerns

More in the story

  • Post-Fukushima, why is India alone in a mad rush for nuclear power?
  • Two years ago, Shinzo Abe said Fukushima was “under control”. Latest report: radiation is 4,000 times higher

Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe arrived in India on 11 December. He came with a bag of goodies – bullet trains, aircraft and, most importantly, nuclear power.

Do we really want his nuclear power?

No, we definitely don’t. Here’s why.  The proposed India-Japan Nuclear Agreement, to be signed during the visit, is more than just a bilateral deal. It’s an instrument to serve American and French nuclear lobbies.

The deal would fast-track the French nuclear giant Areva’s project in Jaitapur, Maharashtra. It’s also crucial for supply of critical equipment to the American nuclear projects in Gujarat’s Mithi Virdi and Andhra Pradesh’ Kovvada.

But that isn’t its most damaging aspect………http://www.catchnews.com/india-news/keep-your-nuclear-power-mr-shinzo-abe-we-can-do-without-a-fukushima-1449883672.html
