Why Kudankulam dissolved into fission and acrimony
The Narora Atomic Power Station was operationalised in the early 1990s. Given the recent protests against the Kudankulam Atomic Power Project, one would expect that the setting up of the nuclear power station at Narora would also have met significant protests. Gone are the days when engaging with the local community was only ancillary to setting up a nuclear power project. A systematic approach needs to be urgently formulated in which engaging with the local community is a critical part of setting up a nuclear power plant. The court also considered whether there should have been a fresh public hearing on different aspects of the project and concluded that no such hearing is necessary; however, going forward, the local community would have to be kept involved in developments pertaining to the power plant.
