As Japan attempts to control the high radiation levels from the Fukushima nuclear plant, countries all over the world are asking one question; is nuclear safe?

Back home, the government plans to build a nuclear plant in Jaitapur, Maharashtra.^[1] Like Fukushima, Jaitapur falls in anearthquake zone.^[2] The technology being used here is still under review.^[3] India seems to have decided that these plants are "100% safe" even before conducting an analysis.

April 11th will mark the one month anniversary of the tragedy in Japan. It is also the National Day of Action against Nuclear energy. On this day, people from different parts of Mumbai are coming together for a candlelight vigil to show solidarity with those suffering in Japan and asking our government to give up nuclear technology.
