The nuclear disaster at Fukoshima in Japan should not stop us from going ahead with the Jaitapur nuclear plant. It means that our nuclear reactors should not only be quake- resistant, but be able to tolerate a tsunami too, Principal Scientific Adviser to Prime Minister Dr Rajagopala
Chidambaram said here today. He was addressing faculty members, students and NGOs during the inauguration of the Rural Technology Action Group (RuTAG) centre at the IIT-Ropar. Nuclear scientist Dr Chidambaram said for countries like India, the human development index was calculated in three contexts, with power consumed per person being one of the major factors.
