HSEB offers DAE site near Hisar Chandigarh, April 21 This was revealed here today by the HSEB Technical Director R. K. Jain at a workshop ''Nuclear energy in northern region: risks and benefits'' organised by the National Union of Journalists (India), School of Journalism and Communication. Mr Jain said the proposal for Yamunanagar site had been shot down by the DAE Site Selection Committee. He urged the DAE to provide the state with a nuclear power plant to tide over the shortage of power. The head of the public awareness unit of the DAE, Mr S. K. Malhotra, who was present at the workshop, said the department had received several such recommendations but a decision to set up a plant in the state had to be taken by the government. The Chandigarh Journalist Association and the Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh Welfare Trust hosted the workshop in which seven experts from the DAE explained economic, safety and waste management techniques of a nuclear power plant. The workshop was held to facilitate the setting up of nuclear power plants in Punjab and Haryana. According to Head of the Physics Department of the Bhaba Atomic Research Centre, though nuclear power plants maintained radiation levels below the threshold limits, yet the international conference on radiation protection has further lowered the limit. |
