Hyderabad: The Japanese nuclear crisis has triggered fresh fears among people in Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh where protestshave been raging for several months over the proposed 2,000 MW nuclear power plant. Environmentalists, local villagers and opposition parties are up in arms against the nuclear power project at Kovvada on the grounds that it would cause environmental pollution and large-scale displacement. The villagers have been resisting land acquisition for the ambitious Rs 60,000 crore project, being taken up by the Nuclear Power Corporation Limited (NPCL) with US technical know-how. The project, involving construction of six nuclear reactors with the capacity of each unit varying from 1,000 MWe to 1,250 MWe, requires a whopping 9,000 acres. With media reports from the earthquake-hit Japan projecting a major damage to the nuclear power plants and radiation fears, local Congress MP B Jhansi and some leading environmentalists urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to suspend further measures on the Kovvada plant.
