"...Based on the technical reviews the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) does, we will certainly be in touch with them and if additional safeguards have to be built in as part of the environmental clearance, we will certainly look at it," Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh told reporters on the sidelines of a function.
He was reacting to a question whether the Government is going to have a relook at the Jaitapur nuclear power project in Maharashtra amid demands for reconsideration in the wake of the deadly earthquake that caused damage in a nuclear facility in Japan.
Ramesh said the NPCIL is having a relook at all safety systems and designs. Read the full report here.
