Protest Song Against Koodankulam Nuclear Plant

Music, Lyrics & Vocal : Pepsi Ganesh

The first Inter-Governmental Agreement for setting up two 1000MW light water reactors was signed between India and the erstwhile USSR in 1988. In spite of people's opposition to the project since then the authorities were careful not to publicise the Environmental Impact Assessment Report, and the Site Evaluation Study and Safety Analysis Report.

In a radius of 2 to 5 km declared as sterilization zone, there are 15989 local residents .More than 1 million people live within a 30 km radius. The Plant's coolant water and low-grade waste can kill fish and fish eggs as other Power Plants are doing already.

The Atomic Energy Regulation Board has said, that there should be no tourism site
within a radius of 20 km from the plant when Kudankulam is only 14 kms from Kanyakumari and only 60 kms by air from Thiruvananthapuram. An accident at
Kudankulam will be unmanageable because of the high density of population.

The functioning of this Nuclear Power Plant will destabilise the livelihood of the people living in the vicinity, pollute the environment in an unimaginable magnitude; and in case of an accident, the fallout will be beyond boundaries and uncountable! This protest is for those trying to make a living now and for posterity, as a Nuclear Plant anywhere is like having a Nuclear Plant everywhere...

small mistakes in the sub titles - Instead of "Thamizhakam" "Thamizhkam" and instead of "2000", "200" in Kalam's speech can be avoided in your next release.. Excellent attempt!!

Excellent video... nicely edited..(especially showing the anger of the woman after Kalam's announcement... the lines clearly depicts the reasons to stop nuclear plants. Good voice of the singer.. english sub titles were also added.. in total - worth to watch and share.

@shankerpshyam India uruppada enna seiyanum ? thayavu seidhu engae padhivu seiyavum kaaranam naanum ungakooda thaan!!!!!!!

@angelialvares You just get a big puff of the cool air and blow it on the reactor.

No problem.

[angelialvares]

One of the safety features is that outside air (temperature 37 degrees centigrade is going to cool the reactor if the electricity fails! Can anyone tell me how air as hot as 37 degrees moving in a tiny corridor along the reactor core is going to cool meltdown temperatures of 2000 or more degrees centigrade???? Either I'm a dimwit or those nuclear peddlars of NPCIL are conning scientifically ignorant Indians BIG TIME. I wish every success to the Koodankalam anti-nuclear movement!
