Harlem loves nuclear power. why cant we have some, India has all the fun, and China and Russia too. The greenies and the Wall St London UK crowd are too disgusting, they have to go.
Jan. 15, India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh laid the foundation
stone for the country's largest nuclear power plant, at Gorakhpur
village in the Fatehabad district of Haryana. The plant's first two
units of indigenous nuclear reactors, developed by the Nuclear Power
Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL), will produce 1400 MW. Two additional
reactors of 700 MW capacity each at the same site will receive approval
in the 13th plan period (2017-2021), by which time, the first two units
will be operational. The actual construction work will begin in June
2015, after which, it may take five and a half years for the first unit
to be ready and another six months for the second unit. Both units are
likely to produce commercial electricity by 2020-21. The 2800 MW nuclear
power plant in Haryana is to be followed by two more 2800 MW nuclear
power units, at Bhimpur in Madhya Pradesh and Mahi Banswara in
Rajasthan. In addition, a 1400 MW unit will be built at Chutka in Madhya
Pradesh.
While laying the foundation stone of the $4 billion project, the
Prime Minister said that the people of Haryana have set an example by
adopting such an advanced method of power generation. A total of around
1,500 acres of land in the villages of Gorakhpur, Kajalheri, and
Badopal, in the district Fatehabad, have been acquired for the project
and $120 million has been paid to 847 families of these villages as
compensation.
The agreement reached with the people in acquiring the land, is
considered a welcome respite amidst recent rounds of opposition,
orchestrated by various anti-nuclear forces, that New Delhi faced in
obtaining land for installations of nuclear power plants.
During the construction stage, a maximum of 8,000 persons (when
construction of Stage-I will be nearing completion and construction of
Stage-II will be started) will be deployed; and up to the final stage of
the project about, 1,700 workers will be required (covering technical
and general administration).
