Kudankulam Nuclear Power Station Is Essential For Development

Kudankulam Nuclear Power Station Is Essential For Development of Tamil Nadu And Offers A Bright future For the People – Therefore, KKNPS Needs be Freed From the Onslaught Of Frequent “ Tsunamis Of Unfounded and Habitual Public Ire” Caused By The “Un-Founded Opinion Quakes” Created By “The Epi-Centres Of Fear Psychosis”
By 
Prof. Dr. P. P. Chandrachoodan

The KKNNPS Is Green and Safe In All respects - No Doubt, It Is Also Safe 
From Tsunamis and Earth Quakes:
The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Station is  going to be  a Green-House Gas, Fly Ash and EcoSubmergence Free supplier of large amount of electricity for the development of Tamil Nadu 
and, in particular, for the development of Kudankulam region and the southern Tamil Nadu, 
Kerala, etc.  Different levels of competent technical authorities (responsible for the design, 
safety, operation and review of all these aspects concerning the KKNPS) have been reiterating 
the safety of this power station time and again, especially with respect to the problems due to
earth quakes and tsunamis, being the current concern that are being seeded in the minds of 
the people. Further, there have been categorical assurances given by the Prime Minister of 
India about the operational and public  safety of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Station
conveyed to the citizens living in the region. Thus, the KKNPS has now matured and poised in 
all respects to provide the green and safe electric power and catapult the development of this
region of India. It is, thus, a  progressive and people-friendly Centre Of Development for Tamil 
Nadu.
However, The KKNPS Subjected To Artificial Problems Due To “IllIntentioned Opinion Quakes” and  “Mis-Informed Tsunami of Public 
Ire”:
However, certain types of  ill-intentioned  “High Intensity Opinion Quakes” generated due to 
the hyper-activities in some  “Epicenters of Ill-Founded Information” has been,  now and then, made to propagate in this region through some  “Plate Defects in the society”,  generating 
inconvenient  “Tsunamis of Public Ire”. And the recent one happened to be of an  intense 
Tsunami posing a Serious Embarassments to this Temple Of Development of Tamil Nadu, The 
KKNPS. Why the People of Tamil Nadu who are well known for their commitments  as 
Preservers, Worshippers and Promoters of all kinds of Temples that provide them prosperity 
are not caring to Preserve, Promote and  Recognize the importance of  KKNPS which is The 
Temple Of Development and Progress    – The provider of Development, Industrialisation, 
Employment, and so many other good things ? Why such a public-friendly-and-useful KKNPS 
should be allowed to be subjected to annihilation by the Tsunamis of Un-founded and IllInformed Public Ire ?
Save The KKNPS From Problems Due To Artificial Tsunamis Of “Ill-Founded and 
Frequent  Public Ire”- Hope that these  “Quake-Habituated Epi-Centres ” would 
Shift Their Objectives to “Organising Public Opinions For Industrial Development 
of The Region Using The Power from KKNPS”
While a massive hue and cry are fomented up and focused about the after-maths  of earth 
quakes and tsunamis affecting the KKNPs are organised, for reasons best known for the 
organizers only, what the organizers have forgotten to take cognizance is the fact that they are 
blindly strangulating an important developmental process beneficial for the people of the 
region. While unleashing a Tsunami of public ire, built on factors far away from reality, are 
they also realizing that such “tsunamis” caused by them are far damaging than the tsunamis 
from the sea? Since it is very difficult to detect the driving forces or motivations for such 
tsunamis of public opinions, it would be rather prudent to hope that the organizers of such 
tsunamis would rather start directing their great talents and organizing abilities, with equal 
fervor, for the development of this region, visualizing and devising means to transform the 
region into a megacity bubbling with industries, employment generation, total welfare of the 
people, etc using electric power generated at KKNPS.
It Is Time  That The Intellectually Advanced And Progressive People Of 
Tamil Nadu Register Their Opinion In Support Of KKNPS, Which is a  Rs 
14,000 Crore Central Government Power Project Meant For The Welfare 
And Progress Of The People of Tamil Nadu:It is a paradox that, while many states in India are starved of power and depending on Nuclear 
Power Stations to build up the energy deficits, the people of Tamil Nadu who have derived 
considerable benefits from MAPS are attempting to create road-blocks for KKNPS !! Evidently, 
a lot of incorrect information  has gone into circulation behind these KKNPS happenings. 
Therefore, it is essential that the well-informed intellectual community in Tamil Nadu should 
come out in support of the KKNPS, in all fairness and to help disseminate the right kind of and 
progressive information. KKNPS is a Rs 14,000 Crore gift from the Central Government for the 
benefit of the people of Tamil Nadu and, therefore, it is essential on the part of every citizen of 
Tamil Nadu to give KKNPS a warm welcome and allow KKNPS to Work Smoothly to help, in 
turn, the progress of the people of the region.
It Is Time That The Academicians, Qualified Youth, The Intellectuals and 
Enterprenuers Of Tamil Nadu  Come Forward To Help The KKNPS  In 
Their Efforts  To Survive  “The Tsunami Of Unfounded Public Ire” And , 
Also, Focus on Planning For Industrial Development of the Region To 
Promote and Register Very Appreciable levels Of Industrialisation, 
Productivity, Employment Generation, All-Round Welfare, Progress:
  
Currently, it can be seen, that a lot of attention, time and energy of the public are being 
wasted  in unproductive work as result of  unnecessary  aggressive activities. As a result, 
extremely progressive activities such as commissioning of KKNPS, are getting delayed and 
subjected to great inconveniences. 
However, it should be also recognized that, a great deal of intellectual inputs, physical efforts 
and organizational abilities are going into these negative activities as well. Therefore, if all 
these talents and zeal are mobilized and channeled for positive objectives, the movements 
organized in such directions could significantly catalyse developments in various walks of this 
region. Therefore, it is time to channelize all energies into such positive directions, so that the 
entire  people of this region, especially the educated youth of this region, are benefitted 
tangibly. 
Decide To Start Working For A Bright Future Now, So That After A 
decade or Two We Can Look Back, Sitting In Abundance, In Appreciation 
of  Our Golden Decision And Its Timely Implementation:It is essential for the entire people for this region to mobilize their energy to work for the 
progress of the industrial development. The large scale employment and infrastructural 
development, etc that can come out of Industrial Development of the region needs electric 
power and the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Station is readily available to provide the electricity 
needed for such a level of Industrial Development. Therefore, it is unwise to waste even an 
iota of energy or a second of your time in opposing KKNPS. In fact, it is time that the people of 
this region collectively move to demand for planning and implementation of major industrial 
activities in this region. It is time, for the people to plan their future to realize that their 
dreams come true - their region develop into mega cities, their children get employment in 
their own home town, their standard of living is enhanced, etc. You will be able to realize all 
these in the coming ten to twenty years, provided you allow KKNPS work progress smoothly. 
Why not do it now and pave the way to relax and enjoy after a decade or two – recapitulating 
the wise decision and supporting activities that you were part of and  also  watching  your 
children enjoying, the benefits  of your positive decisions  and actions,  in your later  years of 
your lives!
