  • Separating Indian Military and Civilian Nuclear Facilities
    Separating Indian Military and Civilian Nuclear Facilities Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) By David Albright and Susan Basu December 19, 2005 The agreement announced on July 18, 2005 by President George Bush and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh regarding the establishment of a U.S.-India “global partnership” will require changes to U.S. non-proliferation laws and policies and could dramatically increase nuclear and nuclear-related commerce with India. Part of this agreement is an Indian commitment to separate its civil and military nuclear programs and put declared civil facilities under international safeguards. Safeguards should apply in perpetuity, with minor, standard exceptions that do not include use in nuclear explosives or weapons. In addition, safeguarded nuclear material should not co-mingle with unsafeguarded nuclear material in any facility, unless this unsafeguarded nuclear material also comes under safeguards. This latter condition is an example of “contamination,” a key principle of safeguards. Although these conditions do not appear to have been accepted by India, they are necessary to prevent civil nuclear cooperation from benefiting India’s nuclear weapons program. To accomplish these goals, India needs to place all its nuclear facilities not directly associated with nuclear weapons production or deployment under safeguards. India has many civil nuclear facilities in this category. In addition, India should place its nuclear facilities associated with its naval nuclear fuel cycle under international safeguards. Exempting such naval-related facilities from safeguards would undermine efforts to safeguard such facilities in non-nuclear weapon states party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Brazil accepted safeguards on its prototype naval reactor and its enrichment plants at Aramar dedicated to the production of naval reactor fuel.

  • Self-Reported Morbidities Among Tribal Workers Residing Adjacent the Turamdih Uranium Mine and Mill in Jharkhand, India
    Self-Reported Morbidities among Tribal workers Residing adjacent the Turamdih Uranium Mine and Mill in Jharkhand, India. Ashwani Kumar1, K. C. Das2 1Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist, FP Track20 Avenir Health, India Email: [email protected] Contact No: 91+9969789292 ORCID ID: 0000-0002-5515-2840 2Professor, Department of Migration and Urban Studies, International Institute for Population Sciences, Mumbai, India – 400088 Email: [email protected] Abstract The study was conducted among 411 main workers of tribal communities, aged 15-59 years, residing surrounding hazardous uranium tailing pond of Turamdih Uranium mine in Jharkhand, India. The survey was conducted between January and June 2016. The objective of the study was to explore the differential morbidities among mineworkers and non- mineworkers and the association of the morbidity with various socio-demographic factors. Chi-square test, and binary logistic regression were used for data analysis. The results indicate that the prevalence of digestive problems, skin diseases, cancerous diseases, and urinary dysfunction was significantly higher among the Uranium mine-workers than the non-mineworkers. The main workers living within a range of 2 km from the tailing pond being more likely to suffer digestive problems (OR=1.57; 95% CI, 0.94–2.60) and respiratory illnesses (OR=1.89; 95% CI, 1.06–3.37) than those living further away. The findings have important program and policy implications related to safety measures, nuclear regulation acts, and resettlement of tribal victims. Keywords: uranium mining, radiation, mineworkers, morbidities, tailing pond, distance Introduction In view of alternate sources of efficient energy generation, Uranium has gained enormous global importance driven by its medical, military and civil applications, albeit with potential safety and environmental legacies.(1) In India, Uranium Corporation of India (UCIL), founded in 1967 under the Department of Atomic Energy, is responsible for the mining and milling of uranium ore.

  • Nuclear Energy in India's Energy Security Matrix
    Nuclear Energy in India’s Energy Security Matrix: An Appraisal 2 of 55 About the Author Maj Gen AK Chaturvedi, AVSM, VSM was commissioned in Corps of Engineers (Bengal Sappers) during December 1974 and after a distinguished career of 38 years, both within Engineers and the staff, retired in July 2012. He is an alumnus of the College of Military Engineers, Pune; Indian Institute of Technology, Madras; College of Defence Management, Secunderabad; and National Defence College, New Delhi. Post retirement, he is pursuing PhD on ‘India’s Energy Security: 2030’. He is a prolific writer, who has also been quite active in lecture circuit on national security issues. His areas of interests are energy, water and other elements of ‘National Security’. He is based at Lucknow. http://www.vifindia.org © Vivekananda International Foundation Nuclear Energy in India’s Energy Security Matrix: An Appraisal 3 of 55 Abstract Energy is essential for the economic growth of a nation. India, which is in the lower half of the countries as far as the energy consumption per capita is concerned, needs to leap frog from its present position to upper half, commensurate with its growing economic stature, by adopting an approach, where all available sources need to be optimally used in a coordinated manner, to bridge the demand supply gap. A new road map is needed to address the energy security issue in short, medium and long term. Solution should be sustainable, environment friendly and affordable. Nuclear energy, a relatively clean energy, has an advantage that the blueprint for its growth, which was made over half a century earlier, is still valid and though sputtering at times, but is moving steadily as envisaged.
