All N-plants in India Pass Stress Test
NEW DELHI: In a reinforcement of nuclear safety in India, all the atomic power plants have "passed" the stress tests ordered by the PM Manmohan Singh in the aftermath of the Fukushima accident. "Indian reactors have passed the stress tests ordered after Fukushima," Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Srikumar Banerjee said on Monday. The stress tests, which are a combination of simulated quake events on the design of a nuclear plant, were ordered by Singh to address issues of safety of the country's atomic plants in the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear accident in March. Seeking to allay apprehensions on the Kudankulam nuclear power project in Tamil Nadu, he said the Indo-Russian joint venture was the safest unit of its type built anywhere in the world.
