*The discussion on “The safety Aspects of India’s Nuclear Power Plants”***

Dear Sir/Madam
The recent disaster at the Fukushima Atomic Power Plant in Japan after the
devastating earthquake and tsunami has caused widespread apprehension of a
similar catastrophe happening in India. Even scientists are beginning to
voice concern and are advising a review of our nuclear power policy.
Therefore, a discourse on the safety aspect of India’s nuclear power plants
and the desirability of having a public debate to learn more about these
issues, we believe, would be in order.
