Makes clear that 17 safety measures are additional, not a condition precedent. Attorney General G. E. Vahanvati has asserted in the Supreme Court that the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant is absolutely safe and all apprehensions over safety of the plant are completely baseless.

Making this submission before a Bench of Justices K.S. Radhakrishnan and Dipak Misra on Tuesday, Mr. Vahanvati also made it clear that it was not a condition precedent that all 17 safety measures to be implemented before the plant are put into operation.
