In the wake of fukushima nuclear accident in Japan, nuclear
industry worldwide is facing two major challenges; first, the
public concern over safely of nuclear power plants and second, the
relationship between the nuclear industry and public regulators.
Similar concern have been raised in India too. The persistence of
public concerns over nuclear safety, in long run, could pose a
serious challenge to India's civilian nuclear energy programme. The
book analyses the prospects for nuclear energy globally in the
aftermath of Fukushima nuclear crisis and evaluates its role in
India's energy mix. In the light of various public concerns, the
book evaluates the overall performance of India's nuclear plants in
terms of safety, impacts on environment and public health, nuclear
emergency preparedness and civil nuclear liability. The public
concerns against nuclear power in India are mainly related to the
impact on environment and public health. The books show that the
operation of nuclear power plants in last for decades did not pose
any significant risks to environment and public health. India's
nuclear power plants includes various advance safety features to
withstand certain external events and the additional safety
measures have been implemented as per the Atomic Energy Regulatory
Board's (AERB) safety reviews conducted after the Fukushima crisis.
The operation of nuclear power plants over the years did not
increase the levels of environmental radioactivity from the
pre-operational levels. Also there are no discernible impacts on
public health. However, given the public concerns over
environmental and public health related issues., the book
recommends that India's nuclear energy managers must address such
concern through constructive public engagement and dialogue.
