Kudos to NDTV for taking corrective action

After repeated requests to Barkha Dutt;  NDTV has started referring Nityanada as Bangalore Swami instead of Sex Swami(refer previous blog)

Indians life is cheaper so says Nuclear Liability Bill

The Indo-U.S. Civilian Nuclear Agreement was enacted successfully in October, 2008. However, to attract private companies to invest in India, it is necessary to pass the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill (Nuclear Liability Bill). This bill defines the financial and legal liabilities upon the involved groups, manufacturers, operators and government in case of a nuclear accident occurs.

Back ground:

In early 1950’s U.S. Atomic Energy Commission ordered a study of the possible consequences of a nuclear accident at a medium-sized (200 MW) nuclear reactor sited near (about 30 miles from) a medium-sized city. The resulting 1957 AEC study, known as the Brookhaven Report, found that property damages could run as high as $7 billion (in 1957 dollars), mostly due to radioactive contamination of land, buildings, food and water. It also documented the thousands of deaths (immediate and delayed) that could be expected from such an accident, and the large numbers of defective children that would result both immediately and many years later. But U.S. insurance companies told the U.S. Congress that it was impossible for them to insure against such an enormous liability as described in the Brookhaven Report. Thus came Price Anderson Act, limiting the liability of a nuclear reactor owner to $560 million in the event of an accident -- that's about 8 cents on the dollar for a $7 billion accident -- of which $90 million would be covered by private insurance and the remainder by the government.

The Price Anderson Act now provides $10 billion in cover without cost to the public or government and without fault needing to be proven. It covers power reactors, research reactors, and all other nuclear facilities.

Point to note: Even as back in 1957 US Govt had kept the liability at USD 560 Million. But GOI in 2010 is trying to cap nuclear liability(acc to  clause 6), at the rupee equivalent of 300 million special drawing rights (SDRs) which is equal to $458 million (Rs. 2,087 crore).

Why an Indians life is cheaper.

The clause 7 of  bill outlines the share of financial liability of each group. It states that the operator will have to pay Rs. 500 crore and the remaining amount will be paid by GOI. It’s amusing that in reality the operator is GOI itself as the plants will be operated by Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) a government owned facility. The operator can claim the liabilities from the manufacturer and supplier if it is mentioned in the contract. But the maximum amount payable by the foreign companies will be paltry sum of Rs. 500 crore.

In contrast -

In Europe,  most of countries are moving towards 2004 Paris/Brussels Protocol which cap’s liabilities as under –

•   € 700 million(abt 1Bn USD) for operators
•   € 500 million for installation state
•   € 300 million for contracting parties
• Point to note: So I think we can safely say that the price of an Indian is half that of a European

Now if you think you a victim of an accident can approach courts for redressal. Well don’t hold your breath for that as Nuclear Liability Bill will closed that door too. Clause 17 of  bill allows only  operator (NPCIL) to sue the manufacturers and suppliers. The victims won’t be able to sue anyone. Practically, no one is considered legally liable because the recourse taken by the operator will yield max of  Rs. 500. Lastly, Clause 18 of the nuclear liability bill limits the time to make a claim within 10 years. This is very less as compared to the long term damage that may be caused due to a nuclear accident

You are welcome to feel outraged....

Any guess where is this place?

My take on what really happened in current twitter war between MSM & Internet Hindus

 

And they say Right wing indulge in abuse

 

Sagarika Ghosh journalist from IBN author of author of ‘Gin Drinkers and Blind Faith’ insults an entire community and try to trigger regional war by asking following. 

Not satisfied inflaming regional passions, she now tries to inflame religious sensitiveness by making following outrageous comments

 

Once is a accident, Twice is a coincidence.. any more is a conspiracy

Kaiga Atomic Power Station is in news again for wrong reasons. This time because 55 of its employees were exposed to an excessive radiation dosage when they drank water that had been mixed with tritium, a highly radioactive substance. Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited blamed the incident on “an insider’s mischief.” NPCIL alleged that “an insider had mixed tritium in drinking water in a cooler kept in the operating island of the first unit” at Kaiga.

The current Kaiga plants include two units that are outside the purview of International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards, and thus, they are officially set aside for "strategic" or military use. Kaiga forms an important link in the chain of plutonium producing cycle feeding the Indian nuclear weapons programme. Kaiga is also close to India's major naval base, INS Kadamba

This is not first time Kaiga Plant has been in news for wrong reasons. In May 1994, the containment dome of Kaiga-I suffered a “calamity'’ during construction when the inner layer or “lamination'” broke under stress and collapsed. Later in 1999, there was also a less publicised fire on the same dome. “The Times of India” reported it as ‘Fire Breaks Out in Kaiga Plant Dome’ on November 13.

Earlier in the year, Nuclear scientist Lokanathan Mahalingam, who worked in the Simulator Training Division of the Kaiga Atomic Power Station, went missing on the morning of June 8.  A  week later, Indian Navy divers recovered his body from the Kali river near the plant.   His death was treated as a suicide.

About six weeks earlier to Lokanathan Mahalingam incident, another NPC non-technical employee Ravi Mule was found dead in the township. He too had gone for morning walk. According to the medical report, the death of Ravi Mule might be caused by the injuries he suffered after his fall from a multi-storeyed building in the township.

Interested quarters in neighboring Pakistan are trying to use these event to embarrass India and are trying to question the security of Indian nuclear programme. Interestingly, It was Pakistan who was facing heat from India over safety of their nuclear assets.

We hope that security establishment is looking at all the possible angles.

Love Jihad cases suspected in Karnataka

Just as in the cases of Kerala, two cases in Karnataka were also brought to the court under Habeas Corpus notification by the girls’ parents.

Selvaraj, a resident of Chamarajanagar, filed the petition saying his daughter Siljaraj had gone missing on Aug. 8 and he was later informed that certain Askar of Kannur in Kerala had married her after she had converted to Islam.

He also said in his petition he was prevented from meeting his daughter since she was attending madrassa classes in Kannur to learn about her new religion.
The petitioner said he filed the petition when his second attempt to meet his daughter failed even after he went with police escort.

Indians you can breath easy now – Rahul Baba is here

Indians can now breath easy. Rahul Baba has empathetically declared that Arunachal Pradesh is very much part of India. This should rest any doubts in our Minds.

“Arunachal Pradesh is an Indian state, Tamil Nadu is an Indian state, Jharkhand is an Indian state. My attitude towards all the states is the same and it will not be changed.

I am sure he might have raised this during their visit to China Last year. Last year Rahul Baba, Sonia Mama, Priyanka Didi and Robert Vadra Uncle were official guests of Communist Party of China (CPC) for inaugural ceremony of the Olympics 2008
