Components of Kudankulam nuke reactor sub-standard, say protesters
The Union government and the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited should not hastily commission the first reactor of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project as the components supplied by two Russian firms are of inferior quality, claimed S.P. Speaking to reporters during the anti-nuke protestors’ sea-based agitation held near the Anu Vijay Township beach on Wednesday, he said two Russian firms had supplied “substandard components” to the KKNPP. Dr. Udayakumar claimed that top officials of these Russian firms had been arrested “for having supplied inferior components for nuclear power programmes”. The agitators, who reached the protest point near Anu Vijay Township beach around 10.15 a.m., raised slogans against the nuclear power programme and demanded its complete scrapping and left the spot at 12.15 p.m.
