HARYANA
NUCLEAR REACTORS ARE TIME BOMBS TO NEW DELHI
BY
In Nature, The Uranium ore contains the Uranium-238 at is 99.3% and
the remaining 0.7% is Uranium-235. Uranium-238 and Uranium-235 in
nature are least harmful. But business people and other vested interests
dig the Uranium ore and convert the least harmful Uranium-235
into the fuel form of Uranium-235 by purifying it to make a fuel by
enriching it to about 4% of Uranium-235 that is packed in pellets and inserted
into the core of the nuclear reactor for producing both electricity and harmfull
materials for making the bomb when the nuclear
atom in the reactor is given a blow by a neutron, enormous heat and other poisonous
Radio-active atoms like Xenon, Barium, Cesium, Strontium, Plutonium and other
dangerous radioactive substances are produced. These radioactive
substances are naturally discharged into the air and water by several ways and when
they enter into the environment consisting of air, water and soil and foods
like vegetables, fishes, prawns they ultimately get into human beings and
produce cancers and birth defects in generations of people for many decades to
come. These poisonous radioactive substances destroy natural and
human life and culture and convert lands upto hundreds of kilometers into
permanent nuclear burial grounds.
How the harmless Uranium ore
materials in nature are converted into destructive and killer materials by man
can be understood by the following simple example. For instance king cobras
live in nature in anthills in forests and lead their normal life peacefully by
catching their prey for food during nights.But greedy people go and poke their iron
rods into their abodes and disturb the Cobras when they become angry and bite
the trespassers to inflict death over them by their poisons.
Similarly, the selfish people are mining the harmless Uranium and
converting it into harmful Enriched Uranium and then using it to produce
electricity by means of the Nuclear plants and in the process they are
producing Radioactive pollutants that poison man and nature slowly due to
routine releases of radioactivity into the environment. In course of time
if an
accident occurs in the Nuclear plant
due to several reasons like in Fukushima or Chernobyl, the poisonous pollutants
are thrown into the atmosphere and they kill thousands of people slowly and
inflict cancer to millions of people living downstream upto hundreds of
Kilometers as in case of Fukushima and Chernobyl accidents.
The Nuclear plant
operators are misleading the public by stating that Nuclear power is safe and
cheap just like the medical representatives of various pharmaceutical companies
praise before the doctors about the virtues of their medical tablets and tonics
as part of their sale promotion activity the nuclear authorities are praising
the nuclear plants as safe and cheap energy producers which is very wrong.
This misinformation is dangerous to public health and welfare because in
European states almost all people agree that safety of Nuclear power is a Myth
as confirmed by Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany. She had consulted the
genuine experts on nuclear plants and realized that nuclear safety is a myth
and ordered for gradual closure of all the nuclear plants in Germany. If
Indian Prime Minister and Union Cabinet Ministers including the Chief Ministers
of the states want to know the truth about the safety of the nuclear
power plants they must go and visit advanced countries like Germany and Japan
and discuss the issue with foreign experts. so that they can refrain
from promoting nuclear plants which ruin natural life systems including the lives of flora and fauna including animal and human populations in several countries all over the world . For more scientific
details see the above web sites on this topic prepared by independent experts.
Environmental impact:- In order to assess the cost benifit analysis risk analysis Environment Impact ,disaster management every Nuclear plant must prepare an Environment impact Assessment (E.I.A.) this report is placed for public hearing in all the areas likely to be affected by the reactors. But in India
Environmental Impact Analysis
reports are fabricated by consultants according to the national Green Tribunal
and also according to the Chief Justice of India, S.H.Kapadia who said
“If you leave report preparation to the project proponent, I am sorry to say
the person who pays will get the answers he asks for” and hence he called for a
change in the system of preparation of E.I.A. reports for the development
projects.Even today the E.I.A. reports are not prepared comprehensively and hence are harming public interests. See website
:http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article2886141.ece
Tepco,
the fukushima plant owner, is
expected to pay 1.02 trillion (about 50 thousand crores in indian rupees) yen up to March 31 in compensation to
people affected by the Fukushima accident.According to an October report of
government investigation the company finances as Compensation may total 4.5
trillion (about 250 thousand crores in rupees) yen in the first 2 years of the disaster, In the context of Fukushima
disaster,the Haryana nuclear plant must be considered as its accident costs
Rupees four lakh crores due to an accident while its initial cost is only
RS@24,000 crores and so uneconomical and highly risky,likely to ruin lakhs
of lives of delhi and Haryana regions.
Haryana Nuclear reactors are
considered to be safe by the Government and that the site is suitable for them.
But Environmentalists consider the Reactors as a prescription for a national
disaster for the reasons mentioned below.
1.(a).Seismically Risky site makes Nuclear plant explode:- A glance into seismic
aspects of the plant site, shows that the plant is located in zone III rd
and the eastern regions of Haryana are located in zone IV implying that
Haryana Eastern zone can be expected to experience, high
Earthquakes of about 8 magnitude on the Richter scale and that means peak level
accelerations in the state and hence the shaking Impacts can
spread from Eastern zone to the Western zone in which
Gorakhpur lies .In fact a recent
Earthquake in the region as caused many towns in Haryana to experience shaking
of buildings.see website: http://www.ndtv.com/topic/earthquake-damage.
1.(b).The Hazard Map prepared by the
state also source that Zone III will experience Earthquake damages
corresponding to intensity scale of 7 points. According to Russian standards
the experts add two points more to the local sight intensity value for Building heavy structures. So Gorakhpur site
will face Earthquakes of intensity 9 points in near future which
according to Russian standards will be Hazardous as the damazing effects show
collapse of buildings and disruption of pipe lines. Consequently the Nuclear
plant faces an explosion. Which costs damages of Rs. 4 lakh crores as against
the initial cost of Rs. 24,000 crores estimated for the plant . Since this
plant is Hazardous and uneconomical it should be cancelled. Hence the Nuclear
plant will experience high shaking effects which may cause Nuclear accidents.
Thus Gorakhpur site is not safe for Nuclear plant.
2.a.Water needs of the reactors:- As regards water the Haryana Government has
sanctioned 320 cusecs of water for the plant from the Fathehabad branch
of the Bhakra canal. Electricity power stations can use large
quantities of water. They usually use river , lake, dam, or sea water and as such
are located close to large and reliable water sources. The water is
needed to turn the turbines that drive the generators. To do this, water is
turned into high pressure steam by the boiler or nuclear reactor. This steam is
then cooled, so that the water can be pumped through the system again. The
amount of water a power station uses and consumes depends on the cooling
technology. water is also assential for cooling the reactor and also spent fuel storage tanks.http://www.efmr.org/files/07rn12.pdf
2b.Unreliable and inadequate water causes Nuclear explosion:- But in a research note submitted to the parliament of Australia on
4.12.2006 states that water withdrawal for Nuclear steam based on once –
through cooling is 227 124 liters per megawatt hour of a Nuclear plant .
According to this standard Haryana plant needs more water for safety purposes.
But this water alotment violates the agreement between punjab and Rajastan , on the
utilization of Bhakra water which according to 1959 Agreement between the
states has to be used only for irrigation and Hydro- power generation, and it
cannot be used for Nuclear – power generation and that too, by denying water
for drinking and irrigation in about 1.5 lakh acres of Fertile land that
produces the food, the basic requirement for the survival of
mankind.Moreover the Farmers of Punjab, Haryana and Rajastan are agitating for
more water from this canal for their Agriculture. Punjab Government says that
since Haryana is not a riparian state, they have no right to use the waters of
Bhakra canal and hence Sikhs are agitating to draw full water flow of Bhakra
canal for diverting the same for lands in Punjab. Hence Gorakhpur
reactors will face water shortage sometime or other, as the punjab
terrorists may plan to damage canal Banks or the Farmers
may use pumps and dig many open wells along the banks of the canal to draw more water
from the canal, and consequently Haryana will get less water from the
canal. During accident conditions the plant requires abnormal quantities
of water for cooling the heat generated in the core – cooling system and
spent Fuel Rods storage tanks. Since 5320 cubic meteres per hour of waste water
from the plant containing radioactivity will be discharged into the
canal, all the water which is going to be used for drinking and
irrigation in the downstream areas will pose high- health risks to lakhs
of population, both humans and animals including Agriculture products.
3.Improper waste disposal:- With regard to solid waste
disposal. The ash and scrubbed water after solidification will be
put into cement containers which will be put into trenches, and this will pose
risks in case of local accidents.
4..Nuclear pollutants promote health hazards:- With regard to safety and
disaster management,the plant authorities claim that Nuclear power production
is entirely safe. But this claim is very wrong, because any addition of
radioactivity to the Background level radiation causes a proportional increase
in the incidence of cancer and ill- health, as per the latest reports.
5. Improper disaster management:- With regard to disaster
management in case of anticipated accidents ,the N.P.C.I. L. should have
prepared accident cum disaster scenario, indicating the concentration of
Radioactive substances that are likely to be emitted
into the atmosphere and their concentrations deposited at different distances
from the plant up to about 200k.m. Based upon these concentrations
the human population likely to the exposed to Radioactivity not more than 1
milli sievert per year dosage must be shifted to distant places and some
people should be kept in their houses and given iodine tablets, to avoid
getting cancer. But N.P.C.I.L. has not made these calculations to decide
on disaster management plan. Hence the Nuclear plant is unsafe to protect
public health and Environment. So it must be cancelled.
6.Absence of off-site disaster plan:- N.P.C.I.L. states that the
offsite disaster management plan will be prepared in consultation with district
Authorities only when the plant goes into operation. This is not
correct. This plan must be made before the site selection. Because after the site
is selected and the Nuclear plant constructed and if they find that the
evacuation of the victims of dissater cannot be implemented
within stipulated time, it will be a belated discovery that the site is unsuitable and unsafe.
There will be serious damage to public health and the cost of
damage due to compensating the victims might run into 4 to 5 lakhs crores of
rupees making the state and the central Government economically Bankrupt. Hence
the disaster management plan should be prepared before site selection and the
mock drills must be conducted to find out if all the people likely to be
exposed to excess Radioactivity can be saved by sheltering and evacuation
by providing the required facilities intime.
7.Irresponsibility of N.P.C.I.L. for off-site emergency plans:- A.E.R.B. states that
off-site emergency plan must be made and implemented by the local district
collector in consultation with Nuclear plant authorities. This means that the
plant owners do not take any responsibility for ensuring the safety of the
public and the Environment even in case of accidents. Unfortunately the local
district collector, and the local administration are unfit for this task as
they are not experts in the field of disaster management. Moreover all these
state officers are subject to frequent transfers and hence none of them can be
held responsible for the accidents caused by human errors.Most Nuclear plants
failed in ensuring public safety due to such human errors. Since a vast area
from Gorakhpur to New – Delhi will have more than 10 Districts not one of
the district collectors can implement disaster management plans properly and hence lakhs
of people and cattle population will be poisoned. Hence the Nuclear plant must
be cancelled as public safety cannot be ensured as per the Environmental Impact
Assessment report for Haryana Nuclear plant.
8.Impact of reactor accidents on the public :- If the Fukoshima
reactor accidents scenario is super- imposed over the Gorakhpur reactors or if SIZE-WELL
reactor ACCIDENTS used for Gorakhpur reactors, highly radiactive Nuclides like
Xenon, crypton, iodine, strontium, cesium, and other radioactive substances
will be coming out of these stacks of Gorakhpur reactors and they will get
deposited on the ground all along the path of the plume, so that all places up
to and including New Delhi itself will be poisioned by
radioactivity , and millions of people on the way between Gorakhpur and New
Delhi will be poisioned along with cattle population and the lands will be
converted into Nuclear burial grounds . Thus Haryana Nuclear reactors will be
almost working as Atom Bombs over New Delhi and other places depending
upon the prevailing wind speeds and directions as can be observed from the Fukushima Nuclear accident scenarios .The chief minister of Delhi, Mr. kejriwal, an educationalist must be held responsible for not inform the public about these nuclear Hazards. So that people can agitate to save their Lands, cattle well and there famillies of the present and future generations of people.
9.
Irresponsibility of Mr. Kejriwal,:- Chief minister of Delhi state,since Mr.Kejriwal is a technolagist he cannot be expected to remain a silent spectator to the impending Haryana Nuclear reactor explosions due to various reasons mentioned above and the resulting ruination of public health and welfare of lakhs of people in the villages and towns of Delhi state and the surrounding areas due to the impending explosion of Nuclear reactors coming up at Gorakhpur of Haryana state .Which will make Delhi region a Nuclear burial ground in the near future. He must take up this issue with the central Government and educate the people on the Hazards of people of Nuclear power and insist on changing the location of the Nuclear plant to a safer place in the remote deserts of Rajastan. He must insist on alternate methods of producing electricity by using natural gas, wind power, bio-mass , Hydro-power generation and lignate coal to be imported from Tamilnadu as is being done in Uttar pradesh .
10.RISK ANALYSIS:-
It is defined as the chance of
facing danger or loss. For Nuclear plant ,the risk is defined as the
probability of an accident multiplied by the costs of damage as caused by
the Nuclear accidents.A literature review shows that Nuclear accident probability
is placed by experts at 0.15 to 1.5, by
Max planck Institute of experts
of Germeny. While other experts put the probability of an accident at 1 in 10 .U.S.authorities( G.A.O.) reported that the cost of accident at the Indian Point Nuclear plant could reach 15 billion dollars and during bad weather conditions the costs may be 10 times higher.
since an American dollar is Rs.60,Rs. 50 at present,$1 million =Rs.6crores and $15 billion =Rs.90,000crores or one lakh crore rupees.So Nuclear accident costs,Rs one to ten lakh crores of Rupees,based on local conditions
A ccordingly the nuclear risk for
the Haryana Nuclear plant reactors may be caliculated as follows:
The risk= (1/10) X ( Rs.1/10 x costs of damage)
AS per the table above
(1).population likely to be effected
by the accident = 55.3 lakhs
(2). compensation for the loss of
land ,loss of biodiversity , loss of Industry and other losses like Medical
treratment including Agriculture and Animal husbandry is added to the costs of
human life, and total compensation due to the accident is placed at Rs. 5 lakhs
per victim.[based on losses for 60years and,power plant-life of 60 years]
(3).Total compensation = 55lakh
population x (5lakhs per victim) = 2,75,000 crores.cost of risk is
(4). Risk = (1/10)x(2,75,000)=27,500
crores.
Since the risk cost is Rs. 27.500
crores and the intial cost of the Nuclear plant is Rs. 24,000 crores the plant
becomes uneconomical and hence is not feasible. Hence it must be cancelled.

HARYANA NUCLEAR PLANT ACCIDENT SCENARIO
A FEW SECONDS DELAY IN CORRECTING DEFICIENCY IN PLANT SAFETY MEASURES MAY RESULT IN SUDDEN REACTOR EXPLOSION
According to some experts the fuel gets yellow-hot at its
core, attaining a temperature of 4100oF (2250oC) while
the metal casing around the fuel is kept at 650oF (350oC)
by the cooling water. If due to an
accident the coolant water gets interrupted for just a few seconds the fuel
temperature rises rapidly and the zirconium casing begins to break at 1800oF
(1000oC) and melts at 3350oF (1850oC) The
actual danger comes when the hot fuel begins to lump together in a molten mass
that can explode the containment or seep into the ground, a process known as
“Chinese-Syndrome”, and release massive quantities of radioactivity into the
air, water and soil environment.
If the main pipe in the primary cooling breaks, immediately
the control rods eliminate the nuclear fission process, halting the
activity. But the radioactivity in the already disintegrating
fission products cannot be arrested. In a 650MW plant, the heat formation
by the radioactive disintegration process amounts to roughly 200MW three
seconds after the reactor is switched off, 100 MW after one minute, 30MW after
one hour and 12MW after 24 hours.
IT MEANS EVEN A DELAY FOR ONE MINUTE IN COOLING WATER SUPPLY FOR THE REACTOR
MAY CAUSE A CORE MELT DOWN AND A REACTOR EXPLOSION AS IN FUKUSHIMA,JAPAN

Three The Classes of Reactor
Accidents
There are four classes of reactor
accidents in which the fuel could dangerously overheat: loss-of-coolant
accident (LOCA), spontaneous reactor-vessel-rupture accident, power-cooling
mismatch accident (PCMA), and the above-mentioned power excursion accident
(PEA).
In a LOCA, a coolant pipe is assumed
to rupture spontaneously. The hot, pressurized coolant would then
blow itself
out of the reactor, flashing to steam as the coolant pressure is relieved. This
process is called the coolant "blowdown." The basic protection
against excessive overheating of the fuel in a LOCA is the Emergency Core
Cooling System (ECCS), which injects auxiliary coolant into the reactor
following the pipe rupture (certain types of LOCAs also require a SCRAM).
Although fuel melting and crumbling are predicted to be avoided in a LOCA that
is controlled by the ECCS, a substantial amount of radioactivity could escape
from both the core (fuel rods) and the reactor vessel, if fuel-rod cladding
ruptures occur, which are conservatively predicted.
A much more severe loss-of-coolant
accident would be a spontaneous rupture of the reactor vessel, due to a design
or manufacturing defect. The ECCS would be ineffective in this situation, since
the core could not be reflooded, except for limited vessel ruptures above the
core level. Moreover, in the extreme case, the reactor vessel closure head, if
blown off, could become a missile and easily pierce the containment. 1
Though in one sense the worst vessel rupture is a LOCA, its immediate
