Environmental
NGO, Greenpeace in a press statement has said that there are close to 16 fault
lines near the Jaitapur nuclear project site of which six are within the 5 km.
The 10,000 MW
project is being constructed by Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) at
Ratnagiri district in Maharashtra. The reactors would be imported from Areva,
France.
The NGO has
made the statement based on RTI query filed with NPCIL.
Greenpeace
was allowed to examine the report in March 2014 under the RTI but was not
allowed to make copies stating that the report is under review. If the report
is still under review, then on what basis was site clearance granted to
Jaitapur project, asked Hozefa Merchant, Greenpeace campaigner, in the
statement.
