SC refuses to stay fuel loading at N-plant [1]

But agrees to examine risk associated with project, saying safety of people living in its vicinity is of prime concern

The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to stay the loading of fuel for the nuclear power plant at Kudankulam, but agreed to examine the risk associated to the project, saying safety of people living in its vicinity is of prime concern. "Public safety is of prime importance. There are poor people living in the vicinity of the plant and they should know that their life would be protected," a bench of judges K S Radhakrishanan and Deepak Misra said while posting the matter for hearing on September 20.
