Suggest safety model for nuclear plants: SC to NGOs

New Delhi, Dec 5, DHNS:

The Supreme Court on Monday asked NGOs and a group of eminent citizens, seeking a direction to set up a regulatory body for ensuring safety of nuclear plants in the country, to come out with a model for the purpose after a public debate.

The only safety avenue regarding nuclear power programmes including all aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle is to shut down all existing plants the world over and handle the nuclear wastes as securely as possible. Nuclear power, no thanks.
Infinitely superior nuclear fusion in the sun must be harmoniously enjoyed via living energy, of nature, including all of us. The small amount of power via electricity(12% of total energy use) really required can be met by feeding electricity to the grid by pedal power, bicycles ergonomically connected to electricity generators which feed to grid interactive converters- inverters intelligently feeding the grid with islanding facility. People are following such methods which run their energy meters backward while reducing the paunches of people of fit ages while they cycle power to the grid(For example in gymnasiums). The internet becomes the hub of clusters of people the world over feeding a peak power of 350000 megawatts to the grid. Wake up entrepreneurs, it is not for nothing that Mahatma Gandhi said that they should use their creativity to good ends.
See http://isothermalengines.blogspot.com to taste incorruptible power of 1.2 volts shockless. Human power can enjoyably be switched on and off at will through the internet. What socialising!

What will you do when all these devils in the form of dams and nuclear reactors and their mines reach the end of their tether? You do not know!

As far as health effects are concerned the safety model of the European Committee on Radiation Risk, ECRR 2010 is available at

http://www.euradcom.org/2011/ecrr2010.pdf

The recommendations include a maximum annual dose of 0.1 mSv to a member of the public involving radiation exposure, both internal and external. This is a cumulative dose for a 65 year life is 6.5 mSv.

The dose to a nuclear worker is recommendation of 2 mSv per annum. The life time cumulative dose is thus a maximum of 0.1 Sv.

Now look at the dose adopted at the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant and  recommended by The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP): Annual dose to a member of the public: 1 mSv. The 65 year cumulative dose is 65 mSv. Annual dose to a nuclear worker 20 mSv, with a cumulative lifetime dose of 1 Sv.Ref: http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/archive/00841/Expert_Group_report_841167a.pdf

The ECRR health effects of exposure to low dose radiation is based on a radiation risk model whose implications are set out in the ECRR 2010 recommendations on exposure to ionising radiation:

The ECRR 2010 recommendations are thus an order of magnitude lower than that recommended by the ICRP.

This alone requires a public deliberation of profound dimensions! The ECRR is of the opinion that ICRP recommendations are not scientific for internal radioactive contamination(See the pdf reference cited above).

How can nuclear be an option, if it is to be safe. The Kudankulam nuclear plant's health effects are totally unacceptable.
