CPI(M) seeks expert panel to study safety aspects of Kudankulam nuclear power project [1]

The State unit of the CPI (M) on Thursday urged the government to form an independent expert committee to go into the safety aspects of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KKNPP) in the wake of apprehensions expressed by the local people about its safety.

Mr. Ramakrishnan said the party was in full agreement with the Supreme Court’s observation that there could be no compromise on people’s safety. He, however, clarified that the CPI (M) did not support the demand for closing down of the two nuclear reactors in Kudankulam.
