A light on Jaitapur Nuclear Power Plant Project - JNPP

   Jaitapur is a small port situated in Rajapur Tehsil of Ratnagiri district, Maharashtra State, India. Jaitapur lies on the sea coast in konkan.

Brief about project :

Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project is a proposed 9900 MW power project of Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) at Madban village of Ratnagiri.

If this project completed then this would be largest power plant in world till now.

This deal was signed on 6 december 2010 between french president Nicolas Sarkozy and Indian prime minister Manmohan singh for the construction of first set of two third-generation European Pressurized Reactor and the supply of nuclear fuel for 25 years .

French nuclear engineering firm Areva S.A. and Indian state-owned nuclear operator Nuclear Power Corporation of India signed this multi billion valued agreement of about $9.3 billion and estimated cost of this project is around 1000 billion (US$16 billion).

JNPP would be one of the costliest nuclear power plant projects considering its sheer size and the new technology. French officials say the reactors are expensive because of enhanced safety measures

Local Concerned (Protest) :

Jaitapur is in the Konkan region in the Western Ghats (in Rajapur). It is considered to be one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots and is home to thousands of species of plants and animals, many of which are threatened. This project will put this entire ecosystem at considerable risk.

There has been opposition to the project from the people of Jaitapur and the surrounding areas. Land has been forcibly acquired in most cases.

Now, these is view of individual concerned to support project or oppose it.
Being an villeger or local i would like to live in harmless and hygene environment, but goverment want to add value by deploying project forcefully and want to be one of superpower country.

Tha jaitapur indian nuclear plant is also an earthquake prone zone. Still do we want to take risk?

I won't say who is wrong or right now u decide....!
