Dear AR,

I am taking the unusual step of sending this direct request because I believe that the announcement by the Prime Minister's office (PMO) on the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, to continue with the proposed French-built nuclear power park at Jaitapur is a serious mistake with long term implications for our people.^[1] 

Send fax to PM Manmohan Singh and CM Prithviraj Chavan

Along with several others I participated in the “Tarapur to Jaitapur” yatra (march) in Maharashtra, to protest against the proposed nuclear plant in Jaitapur.^[2] We did not reach Jaitapur becausemany of us were detained/arrested for participating in this peaceful protest.^[3] 

It is well known that the Jaitapur nuclear plant is on an earthquake-prone zone ^[4] and the French EPR reactors have not yet been tested anywhere in the world.^[5] Surprisingly the government has rejected the demands to cancel the project, which will result in the loss of land and livelihoods for many. Further, the government has shown disregard for the views of the many scientists, academicians, military experts and citizens from the rest of the country calling for a review of its earlier decisions on nuclear power plants. 

Apart from announcing the creation of an independent regulatory board to ensure safety standards, the government has taken no action on the widespread demand for a fresh review of nuclear energy policy in the country. We need to tell Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Maharashtra Chief Minister, Prithviraj Chavan that they cannot ignore serious concerns raised by the people of this country. You should send a fax to the PM and Maharashtra CM asking them to stop the Jaitapur nuclear plant.

Add your signature to the message and we will fax it to the PM and copy CM, Prithviraj Chavan for you. 73,000 petition signatures opposing this plant have already been delivered to the PM.^[6]Now, a large number of faxes asking them to stop the plant will make it difficult for them to ignore the demand.

Safe and clean renewable energy options and energy efficiency can help meet our energy demands, all of which are available and at a much lower cost than nuclear^[7]. The government needs to invest in these instead of dangerous nuclear energy. Tell the PM and CM to stop this dangerous plant now!
