India's nuclear assets are a threat to the environment
The increasing incidents of radioactive contamination and Security Arrangements inadequate at nuclear facilities in India are attracting the attention of the world and create an alarming situation in region. People living in neighboring countries of India also should be prepared in times of crisis, because the extremely irresponsible attitude of India launched the region a threat of radioactive contamination of life.
I would like to share a report here that support my point of view.

Offers for 16 reactors in one day – to read the scorecard India nuclear December 7, 2009. At that time, an agreement was signed in Moscow under which the country get other four nuclear reactors in Russia. Meanwhile, in New Delhi, a U.S. Mission commercial nuclear told the media that in under the nuclear deal between India and the U.S. "," 12 plants would be an established minimum, work with them from 2010-2011.
This latest development in India itself "nuclear age" – as the establishment and its cronies Atomic loyal hail it – came after two weeks of nuclear weapons "incidents" to shake the nation.
The sharp increase in traffic has followed in rapid succession of agreements similar, celebrated the news with another five countries – France, Kazakhstan, Namibia, Mongolia and Canada. The break came for the first time the "incident" in the nuclear complex in southern India Kaiga The state of Karnataka.
The complex has been in operation since March 2000, under the Nuclear Corporation of India. Kaiga has four of the eight nuclear reactors officially recognized as a strategic and, therefore fall outside the scope of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Kaiga is near major Indian naval base, INS Kadamba.
Radioactive contamination of drinking water in the complex, leading to hospitalization of dozens of employees (the figures ranging from 1955 to 1992 the city formally according to some sources), struck India, but no life was lost. He revealed in an instant the potential magnitude of the danger that the operation of that proud active nuclear establishment in the province represented.
The theories about the incident and other authorities do not diminish the danger to all. Authorities said some "bad" manufacturer "or" problem "among employees of the resort – the classification of" information privileged "In other words – seem to have added tritium-contaminated heavy water into a drinking fountain. The serious crime, they say, could be a hoax or a particularly nasty case of sabotage.
Tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, also known as hydrogen-3, can be used as a reminder in the production of fission bombs and thermonuclear weapons or hydrogen bombs. Gas tritium beta radiation, which if swallowed, can cause death, cancer and mutations.
According to an unofficial version, the incident resulted in inter-union rivalry. Moreover, it was a case of disgruntled employees trying to discredit the administration. Some political supporters outside the complex disorder is dedicated aloud speculation on the hand of "illegal" migrant workers from Bangladesh origin of the incident, hoping to begin a campaign of anti-Muslim hatred. Fortunately, however, research has excluded this possibility.
Many of the questions, meanwhile, have been raised, without obtaining formal response serious. Why has it taken so long to report the incident in detail? It took place the night of November 23 to 24. A single line story appeared in the book a TV on 25 November, but official recognition of the incident had to wait for several days. It took more time for the authorities to go to the police. Was not a Hush-up attempt, doomed as families of victims can not be silenced?
Whether an accident or sabotage, as the scheme battleship procedures in the reactors allowed? As anti-nuclear activist Surendra Gadek question: how can you steal a bottle of tritium, at a cost of up to $ 100,000 per gram, so easily?
Questions have been raised – and unanswered - other, beyond "incidents" and Kaiga. Some readers will remember the Truthout report on "The Death of an Indian nuclear scientist" (June 24, 2009). The mysterious final Mahalingam Lokanatha was reported on television in India June 13 took ten full days for authorities to know the subject. They cited a forensic laboratory to find say it was a suicide.
Mahalingam has been the training of young scientists and work in the training division plant simulator. A simulator is an exact replica of the control room of a nuclear scientist has created a ten-year period similar to the mystery, while working in the Kalpakkam nuclear power complex in the neighboring state of Tamil Nadu, which has two of India 's nuclear reactor strategic. Then, too, disappeared one day and return home after an interval of five days never explained.
Among the issues raised in June were: Why is your body found near the Kali River cremated before results of DNA tests carried out at the insistence of his family were released? How do the authorities immediately ruled murder when not leave a suicide note?
The mystery Mahalingam was recalled after the last incident Kaiga, but not one of those issues. No one seemed interested in reopening the case. The authorities have failed so easily in a case before the mysterious death. Ravikumar Mule, an employee of Kaiga unscientific, found "dead" an apartment in the town, April 7, 2009. His widow, Ashwini G. Mula, ordered a new investigation, police dismissed as final, said her husband had researched suicide.
This is not the first incident in Kaiga. Even during construction in 1994, a layer first unit containment dome collapsed, delaying the start of four years of its operations. Is not an exception in India Kaiga nuclear establishment in this regard.
A similar incident took place in the heavy water plant in Rawatbhata The State of Rajasthan in 1991 and to date, the results of any official investigation has not been revealed. The long list of other incidents include, in addition to several cases of occupational exposure unacceptable dose of radiation, a Narora factory fire in the State of Uttar Pradesh (1993), flooding the station of Kakrapar in Gujarat (1994), and a heavy water leak at Kalpakkam (1999).
The question of questions on all these incidents is: why has no independence, never held outside one of them? The answer is not stated, such research can not even be considered, since each nuclear facility is part of Central India security.
This notion perverse "security" makes the world of nuclear deals with India proud is a threat disaster.
Security flaws and repeated the extremely low level of response to this kind of impact raise many questions about vulnerability of the Indian nuclear assets.
The most shocking incident is painful Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC), the mysterious cooked to fire two young scientists and their families are left with a painful question mark!
The full report is available here for readers

Mumbai, December 30: When researchers have difficulty finding the cause of a fire in the most important country AtomicResearch Bhabha Centre (BARC), which killed two scientists, members of the family of one of the victims Wednesday demanded an investigation "thorough" about the accident.
"We are dismayed by the attitude of BARC staff if an incident of this magnitude has occurred. We want an investigation completed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in it, "Munna Singh, Umesh Narayan Singh uncle, who died in the fire, told IANS.
A loud explosion followed by fire which broke out in a room on third floor of modularlaboratory Tuesday noon when the two young scientists were present at the scene. Both were killed.
According to preliminary investigations, the fire is believed to have emerged after a chemical reaction which led to an explosion instruments in the laboratory analysis of housing.
Mourning the loss of his nephew victim's body was returned late Wednesday, Mr. Singh said he would normally have five or six students and a researcher who is present at high levels.
"Why these two guys alone in the lab when the incident? We want answers to these questions and that has national security implications, "he asked.
His friends have claimed that police and officials of BARC ran from one side to Umesh another until he finally got his body – unrecognizable – from Sir J. J. s hospital morgue.
Although police have temporarily excluded from fraud or negligence on the part of BARC, sent samples Victims Forensic Science Lab Kalina and also took DNA samples.
The cause of the fire remains unknown until today, even when police and BARC officials spent all day in the investigation of complex, Chembur in northeast Mumbai.
Originally from a middle class family than a humble former mill worker, Umesh worked in BARC for almost five years. He just six months before completing his doctorate.
"The BARC has not had the courtesy to inform us officially, we have learned through the media Umesh not more, "said brother-brother Uday Umesh Pratap Singh told reporters.
The members of the family in mourning the other victim, Parth P. Beg, 26, also arrived from Calcutta to collect their remains. Members of his family refused to speak to reporters, but said he was doing his research at BARC for the past 18 months.
While Therefore, the police registered a case of accidental fire Trombay, and research on the cause of the fire are booming.
All staff BARC was kept secret during the day while the effects of the incident has been sounded – both the BARC and the police.
However, President Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) Srikumar Banerjee was present in the BARC Wednesday, an official said.
But there was no danger to the main reactor vessel or other sensitive facilities that could lead to radiation or radioactivity, the spokesman said. (IANS)
It is very unpleasant take into account that the major newspapers and channels from India to take this low profile, because constant pressure from the government. The current situation is also a sign visible that may be related to the fact that the U.S. is constantly under pressure from India to open its nuclear facilities to be controlled by officials to assess the level of security and help the Indians build a kind of protection to prevent future accidents.
The Indians are very aware that incidents of theft of accelerating uranium radioactive contamination and waste disposal scientists may be amended by the CIA to convince the Indian government U.S. to seek help to secure its nuclear assets to provide clear path for U.S. agencies for complete information and facts about the nuclear response capabilities general and India in the activities of these facilities.
Another possibility is also clear that the anti Indian forces into the interior of its nuclear assets we come to understand that poor security measures can give them the opportunity to withdraw the peacekeepers, equipment and nuclear technology for the creation of Arsenal to be used for all types of terrorist activities.
In short, India is proving to be a dangerous country for world security. The differences increase safety of nuclear installations most important issues raised huge alarms now and then the water rose above the heads.
It is also the responsibility international community to pressure India through the platform of the United Nations United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Greenpeace and other groups to protect the global environment to convince India to allow Western aid to raise the level of security of its nuclear facilities. In any event, the Indian nation and the people in neighboring countries must be prepared to face the worst incident of radioactive contamination in the region or a nuclear explosion by terrorists like Al Qaeda or Maoists. India gave the world a catastrophe never forget the Bhopal gas leak that killed thousands of people. Now, any disaster, disasters lead to a very grim future for people of this region.
I would ask the world community to act together and be heard his voice on this issue because it is the very important issue and any weakness in the plucking can lead to radioactive pollution disaster that never ends in this region.
