The recent devastation that has impacted the people of Japan has been described as of epic proportions of many kinds: loss of lives, loss of private properties and public assets; economic set back; and nuclear emergency. While there was not much the civil society could do to avoid the earth …
Japan ordered an immediate safety upgrade at its 55 nuclear power plants on Wednesday in its first acknowledgement that standards were inadequate when an earthquake and tsunami wrecked one of the facilities nearly three weeks ago. Adding to the evidence of radiation leakages around the crippled nuclear complex, 240 km …
Radiation Level At Record High Tokyo: Radioactive iodine thousands of times higher than the permissible safety limit was discovered on Wednesday in the sea near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, Japan
Japan's government vowed Tuesday to overhaul nuclear safety standards once its radiation-leaking reactor complex is under control, admitting that its safeguards were insufficient to protect the plant against the March 11 tsunami. The struggle to contain radiation at the complex has unfolded with near-constant missteps, including two workers drenched Tuesday …
Stressing, in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear accident, that the government was committed to ensuring the safety of Indian nuclear power plants, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday said steps would be taken to make the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB)
The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) has set up a 10-member committee to examine if our 20 nuclear plants can withstand earthquakes and other external events such as tsunamis, cyclones, floods, etc. That includes checking if the arrangements are adequate to ensure safety in case of such events, both within …

The department of atomic energy (DAE) and the Board of Research In Nuclear Sciences (BRNS) have awarded three projects to the varsity to carry out studies on baseline levels of radioactivity and assessment of …
FEAR and uncertainty spread faster and farther than any nuclear fallout. To date the crisis at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in Japan, laid low by the tsunami of March 11th, seems to have done little if any long-term damage to the environment beyond the plant
In the wake of the nuclear crisis in Japan, Germany has temporarily shut down seven of its reactors and China, which is building more nuclear power plants than the rest of the world combined, has suspended approval for all new facilities. But this reaction may be more motivated by politics …
This briefing shows that Europe can rapidly phase-out nuclear power while also increasing its climate target to a 30 percent emission cut. It also criticises voluntary stress tests proposed for European nuclear power stations and makes policy recommendations to EU leaders.
Japanese workers scrambled hard today to restore power at the troubled Fukushima nuclear plant as smoke rose from two of its reactors in the tsunami-hit northeast, which was jolted by a series of new powerful quakes, including two measuring 6.6 on the Richter Scale. Authorities sought the help of the …
The severe quake that hit Japan earlier this month and the devastating tsunami that followed it were unfortunate. These two events triggered a series of explosions at Fukushima Daiichi and a few other nuclear power installations. The Dept. of Atomic Energy (DAE) quickly got into a denial mode saying that …
KOLKATA, 21 MARCH: Incidents of nuclear accidents are frequent across the world but the governments suppress the news and fabricate facts when it comes to the extent of causing damage, said the former director of the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Dr Manoj Pal, at a press meet organised by …
