Fukushima is a lesson to be learnt but not to be afraid of, as nuclear energy is inevitable for the progress of the nation, M. Sai Baba, Associate Director of Resources Management Group at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research at Kalpakkam, has said.

Interacting with the media at a workshop on media awareness on nuclear energy organised by the Centre for Science Communication and Directorate of Public Relations and Publications at Cochin University of Science and Technology on Thursday, Dr. Baba said that the Fukushima incident has shown that “we need to have certain safety regulations”.
