Question

movement opposing kaiga nuclear power plant took place in the state​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Centre’s move to set up units 5 and 6 at the atomic power station at Kaiga in the district has drawn widespread outrage from the villagers and the people’s organisations in the region.

In a public hearing, chaired by Deputy Commissioner S S Nakul, at the Kaiga housing complex at Kurnipet in the taluk, the villagers demanded in unison to drop the expansion of the atomic station.

Answer 2

Answer:

Many scientists in Karwar, Karnataka, are opposed to the Kaiga Nuclear Power Plant.

Explanation:

• Environmentalists oppose the construction of the Kaiga nuclear facility in K'taka, citing environmental concerns, as they are concerned about the National Thermal Power Corporation's proposed expansion of the Kaiga Atomic Power Station (NTPC).
• Kaiga is the world's only rainforest-based nuclear power station.
• Environmentalists argue that expanding the plant will result in further forest devastation.
• The power plant, which currently comprises four units, was recently in the news after Unit-1 of the facility operated without interruption for a record 940 days, an achievement praised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
• Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and the Union Territory of Puducherry are currently served, with 33 per cent of the power allocated for the home state.

Hence, many scholars who were worried about the environment started opposing this Kaiga nuclear power plant as it has many adverse effects on life and nature.
