What measures should the govt have taken when the nuclear reactor was installed beside the village
Answers
Answer:
Safety in nuclear power plants (NPPs) in India is a very important topic and it is necessary to dissipate correct information to all the readers and the public at large. In this article, I have briefly described how the safety in our NPPs is maintained. Safety is accorded overriding priority in all the activities. NPPs in India are not only safe but are also well regulated, have proper radiological protection of workers and the public, regular surveillance, dosimetry, approved standard operating and maintenance procedures, a well-defined waste management methodology, proper well documented and periodically rehearsed emergency preparedness and disaster management plans. The NPPs have occupational health policies covering periodic medical examinations, dosimetry and bioassay and are backed-up by fully equipped Personnel Decontamination Centers manned by doctors qualified in Occupational and Industrial Health. All the operating plants are ISO 14001 and IS 18001 certified plants. The Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited today has 17 operating plants and five plants under construction, and our scientists and engineers are fully geared to take up many more in order to meet the national requirements.

INTRODUCTION
Safety in nuclear power plants (NPPs) is often less understood and more talked about and, thus, I wanted to share the facts with the readers. With reference to an article published in an earlier issue of this journal,[1] it became all the more pertinent to clear the myths.
At the very start, may I state that any discussions on the Indo–US deal are outside the purview of this article. I would like to focus only on the safety aspects of the NPPs in India.
Currently, all the NPPs in India are under the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL). Hence, any discussions regarding the NPPs in India will pertain to it. The NPPs in India are not only safe but are also well regulated, have proper radiological protection of workers and the public, regular surveillance, dosimetry, approved standard operating and maintenance procedures, a well-defined waste management methodology, proper well documented and periodically rehearsed emergency preparedness and disaster management plans. The NPPs have occupational health policies covering periodic medical examinations, dosimetry and bioassay and are backed-up by fully equipped Personnel Decontamination Centers manned by doctors qualified in Occupational and Industrial Health. Moreover, they have specialized training in handling radiological emergencies.
Safety in NPPs in India is a very vast subject and would need reams of papers to cover it aptly. However, I have tried to summarize it to the best possible level. I hope that I would succeed in making the reader understand the magnanimity with which these plants are operated and that they are entirely safe.
Safety is accorded overriding priority in all the activities. All nuclear facilities are sited, designed, constructed, commissioned and operated in accordance with strict quality and safety standards. Principles of defense in depth, redundancy and diversity are followed in the design of all nuclear facilities and their systems/components. The regulatory framework in the country is robust, with the independent Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) having powers to frame the policies, laying down safety standards and requirements and monitoring and enforcing all the safety provisions. The AERB exercises the regulatory control through a stage-wise system of licensing. As a result, India's safety record has been excellent in over 277 reactor years of operation of power reactors.
Nuclear power generation is governed by a legislation, the Atomic Energy Act, 1962. The Atomic Energy Act encompasses all the activities concerned with atomic energy, including electricity generation.

Mark as brilliant
Explanation:
When the nuclear reactor attack:
The symptoms we can see in that place ,Vomit, hair will fall out, they can't eat,they grow thin. In that time government should take care of them,government should had to provide rehabilitation centre & should have provided medical treatment as soon as possible .Government should sent out the people from the village and should provide shelter,land,money etc...
