The rabid far-left elements of Northern Europe and America are not content limiting nuclear power proliferation just in the developed world.
Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant
Operating capacity: 6800 MW
Maximum capacity: 9200 MW
In March 2012, police said they had arrested nearly
200 anti-nuclear protesters objecting resumption
of work of building one of two 1 GW reactors, a day
after the local government restarted work on the
project.
There have also been rallies and protests in favour
of commissioning this nuclear power plant.
*On, 24 February 2012, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
blamed American and Scandivanian NGOs for
fueling protests at the power plant. Three of the
NGOs were later found to have used foreign funds
received for social and religious purposes to fuel
the protests, violating foreign exchange regulatory
rules. The PM also blamed these NGOs for opposing
genetically modified foods and the use of
biotechnology to increase food production in the
country.*
