The removal of dummy fuel and inspection of the Reactor Pressure Vessel have been completed in Unit-1. The report of inspection has been submitted to the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB). No defects have been noticed during final inspections. After completing inspection, application for fuel loading has been submitted to regulatory authorities. This will be followed by fuel loading, approach to criticality and power generation after obtaining stage-wise clearance from the AERB. An expert group of eminent scientists, academicians, doctors and engineers specializing in diverse fields constituted by the Government carried out a study of the safety and related aspects of the Kudankulam project and explained the same to the representatives of the people protesting against the commissioning of the project. The expert group of the Central Government has comprehensively addressed the concerns expressed by the local people and others and found the Kudankulam Plant to be safe. An expert committee constituted by the Government of Tamil Nadu has also found this plant to be safe. The above information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry Personnel, PG & Pensions and in the Prime Minister’s Office (Shri V. Narayanasamy) in a written reply in the Lok Sabha.

  • Separating Indian Military and Civilian Nuclear Facilities

    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. 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.

    Uranium Mining and Heap Leaching in India and Related Safety Measures — a Case Study of Jajawal Mines

    XA0103131 URANIUM MINING AND HEAP LEACHING IN INDIA AND RELATED SAFETY MEASURES — A CASE STUDY OF JAJAWAL MINES V.P. SAXENA Atomic Minerals Division, Department of Atomic Energy, Uniara Garden, Jaipur S.C. VERMA Atomic Minerals Division, Department of Atomic Energy Civil Lines, Nagpur India Abstract Exploration and exploitation of uranium involves drilling, mining, milling and extraction processes including heap leaching in some cases. At the exploration stage, the country's laws related to statutory environmental clearance covering forest and sanctuaries or Coastal Regulatory Zones (CRZ) are: equally applicable for atomic minerals. At the developmental mining or commercial exploitation stage in addition to the environmental impact assessment, the provisions of Atomic Energy (working of Mines, Minerals and handling of Prescribed Substances) Rules 1984 are also to be followed which covers radiation monitoring, pollution control and other safety measures which are enforced by licensing authorities and the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) of India. In India, Jaduguda, Bhatin, Narwapahar in Singhbhum Thrust Belt (STB), Asthota and Khiya in Siwaliks, Domiasiat in Cretaceous sandstones, Bodal and Jajawal in Precambrian crystallines, are some of the centres, where mining has been carried out up to various underground levels. Substantial amount of dust and radon gas are generated during mining and milling operations. Though uranium mining is considered as hazardous for contamination by radionuclides, it is observed that many non-uranium mines have registered up to 100 mWL radon concentration, e.g. copper mines in STB area show up to 900 mewl in a few cases. Compared to this the Uranium mines in India have not shown any increase over the limits prescribed by AERB.
