Dismissing fears of a nuclear accident at Kaiga in Karnataka, the government and the nuclear establishment on Sunday said that the incident, in which around 50 workers at the power plant were found to have been exposed to radiation, was an “act of mischief”, probably by a “disgruntled insider”, and that there was absolutely no safety issue with the reactor.
Speaking to reporters on his way home from Port of Spain, Trinidad, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said there was no reason to worry. “I have seen some reports. There has been some leakage, but there is no reason to worry. I don’t want to talk more on the issue right now,” he said.
A statement from S K Jain, Chairman and Managing Director of Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL), which runs all the 17 nuclear power plants in the country, said: “Preliminary inquiry does not reveal any violation of the operating procedures or radioactivity releases or security breach. It is possibly an act of mischief. The related agencies are investigating.”
