india's nuclear power plants produce a very small (approx 3%) electricity needs. and those power plants are located near crowded metros (trombay in mumbai, kalpakkam in chennai, etc).

one of india's nuclear mining sites is jadugoda, which is a remote village in tribal hinterland of orissa. jadugoda has its huge issues which gets easily masked in front of 'great achievements' like the nuclear bomb test, indo-america nuclear deal, etc.

on dec 24, 2006, as the website, points out, one of the pipes carrying radioactive wastes from the uranium mill to a storage dam had burst, discharging highly toxic wastes into a nearby creek. When released into the environment in such a hazardous manner, the radioactive wastes are deadly to the people living in the surrounding area as well as their land and water.

the website also gives you shocking pictures of how ill equipped workers are cleaning dangerous radioactive waste and how villagers using the same contaminated water for bathing and cleaning purpose.

needless to say this radioactive development is the last thing india wants. (People using the radioactive contaminated water for bathing and cleaning)
