AKW + WAA bei Madras teilweise überflutet
"Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research" [IGCAR ]bzw des "Kalpakkam Atomic Reprocessing Plant" [KARP] (Wiederaufarbeitungsanlage,WAA, Plutoniumfabrik)80km südl von Madras ist von dem Tsunami überflutet worden.
30 Angestellte seien zu Tode gekommen.
1200 Menschen in der Umgebung der Anlage seien evakuiert worden.
Ein Reaktor war ausser Betrieb.
Einer sei rechtzeitig herungergefahren worden.
Natürlich bestehe angeblich keine Gefahr.
Mit keinem Wort wird bisher die WAA erwähnt.
Falls es dort zu Überflutungen gekommen ist, gibt es Grund zu allergrößter Besorgnis.
Warum ist der zuständige Aufsichhtsbeamte "Anil Kakodkar" umgehend zum Atomzentrum geeilt? Warum ist er noch dort? (Wenn keinerlei Gefahr droht?)
Wer hat nähere Informationen?

Indien: AKW durch Flutwellen beschädigt?
Die gigantischen Flutwellen in Asien haben nach Regierungsangaben
möglicherweise ein Atomkraftwerk im südindischen Bundesstat Tamil Nadu
beschädigt. Es sei möglich, dass durch die Flutwelle Wasser in die nahe der
Küste gelegene Anlage geflossen sei, sagte ein Sprecher von Regierungschef
Singh.
Der Nachrichtensender NDTV meldete, der Reaktor sei sicher heruntergefahren
worden.
30 Angestellte des Atomkraftwerks Kalpakkam seien in Folge der Flutwelle
getötet worden. Die Umgebung mit rund 1.500 Familien sei evakuiert worden.
Alleine in Tamil Nadu kamen mindestens 3.200 Menschen bei der
Naturkatastrophe ums Leben. Die Zahl der Toten in Indien liegt laut NDTV
inzwischen bei mindestens 7.000.

N-plant safe, but workers move out
- 2000 evacuated from Kalpakkam shoreline

Kalpakkam, Dec. 27: Nearly 2,000 people have been evacuated from near the
shoreline in Kalpakkam, which was hit by tsunami yesterday in the wake of
the devastation, though the nuclear plant escaped damage.
ÒThe nuclear power plant (Kalpakkam has two units of 220 MW each besides a
research reactor and the Fast Breeder Test Reactor at IGCAR) is absolutely
safe as, within minutes of the undersea earthquake striking Sumatra in
Indonesia, the plant was shut down as our seismograph can pick up these
signals,Ó said a scientific officer at Kalpakkam.
The situation in the residential colony, which was cut off from the rest of
Kalpakkam, is a different story.
Pudupattinam, where several scientific officers of the Madras Atomic Power
Station and the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research live, resembled a
graveyard today.
Two thousand people, including employees of the nuclear plant and their
family members, were transported to a makeshift camp at Anupuram Ñ a short
distance from the Kalpakkam plant Ñ where quarters had been constructed for
officers and scientists working in new projects, including the prototype
fast breeder reactor.
Most residences close to the shoreline in Pudupattinam were locked early
today as people had been advised by the Madras Atomic Power Station
authorities to move out to either the less affected part of the residential
colony or the camp at Anupuram.
ÒFortunately, the army and the Central Industrial Security Force took
charge last night and prevented antisocials from plundering our houses,Ó
said Arun, a scientific officer.
The receding waters left behind a trail of destruction Ñ overturning scores
of cars and trapping two-wheelers in the silt.
The ground-floor homes were covered in silt pushed in by the tsunami.
Furniture, electronic appliances and other household items were mostly
damaged.

Nuclear power plant shut down
27/12/2004 22:28 - (SA)
New Delhi - Huge waves that battered the Indian coastline after an
earthquake in Indonesia may have damaged a nuclear power plant in southern
Tamil Nadu state, the government said on Monday.
The Press Trust of India news agency said Indian Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh had called a meeting on Tuesday to review any damage to the plant.
Authorities on Sunday shut down the Indira Gandhi Atomic Energy Centre in
Kalpakkam, 80km south of Tamil Nadu capital Madras as a precaution.
Water seeped into the facility, which is located on the coast, after the
tsunami hit following Sunday's earthquake.
"Information reaching here suggests that facilities at Kalpakkam nuclear
station may have been affected by the tidal waves," said a spokesperson
from the prime minister's office.
"The prime minister will chair a meeting with the Atomic Power Commission
on Tuesday to review the damage, if any, caused to the nuclear power
plant," he added.
A senior scientist said on Sunday one unit of the nuclear power plant had
been "shut down safely and cooled down".
The private NDTV news channel said 1 500 families in the Kalpakkam township
of Tamil Nadu had been evacuated by government relief agencies.
There are 2 290 scientists and engineers working in the nuclear power
facility in Kalpakkam.

India says its nuclear plant safe after being hit by tsunami? (Updated 5:06
P.M.)
2004/12/28
NEW DELHI (AP)
India's government said Tuesday that a nuclear power plant that was damaged
by tidal waves on Sunday in southern India was safe and there was no threat
of radiation.
"There has been inaccurate speculation on the effect of tsunami tidal waves
on Kalpakkam. The basic facilities of the reactor are safe and unaffected
in any manner," National Security Adviser J.N. Dixit told reporters.
The power plant in Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu state was shut down after some
parts got flooded during Sunday's disaster.
"Facilities of the reactor have not been affected in any manner. They are
safe. They have only been shut down so that clearing can be done, water can
be removed and things can be put back to normalcy," Dixit said.
He said "there is no danger of any radiation," adding that Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh has asked for a daily briefing on the situation at the
plant, near the Tamil Nadu capital Madras.
"The only inundation was in the pits on the coastal area and in the pump
house because of sea water intake. And there are facilities for draining
them out and that process is on," he said.
Dixit said the prime minister has also asked Atomic Energy Commission
Chairman Anil Kakodkar, who inspected the plant on Monday, to stay in
Kalpakkam to monitor the situation.
Dixit said 61 people died in townships and villages surrounding the plant,
of which 31 worked at the plant. Most of the deaths occurred in churches
near the sea front while attending Sunday prayers.

No radiation in nuclear plant after tsunami: government:
[India News]: New Delhi, Dec 28 : The government Tuesday allayed fears of
any radiation leak from the nuclear power plant in Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu,
but confirmed the plant had been shut down.
The shutdown is to facilitate draining of seawater that entered the complex
after Sunday's tsunami lashed India's east coast.
"There has been some inaccurate speculation (in the media) about the effect
of tsunamis on the Madras Atomic Power Station at Kalpakkam... The fact is
the basic facilities of the reactor have not been affected," National
Security Advisor J.N. Dixit told reporters here.
He said seawater had only inundated the pits in the coastal areas and the
pump houses, which were being drained currently.
"Reactor number 2, which was operating when the waves struck, was shut down
and is kept under safe shutdown mode, while reactor number 1 was already
shut down for long-term refurbishment," Dixit said after a meeting with
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Dixit said Atomic Energy Commission chairman Anil Kakodkar had reached
Kalpakkam Monday and will be there until the plant was activated.

Sondereinheit der Armee in Kalpakkem
Originaltext:
[India News]: New Delhi, Dec 26 : The Kalpakkam atomic plant near Chennai is "fully safe" in spite of the tsunamis that hit India's east coast Sunday, the government's Crisis Management Group (CMG) said.
"All safety precautions have been taken and the Kalpakkam atomic plant is fully safe," cabinet secretary B.K. Chaturvedi told reporters after the CMG meeting.
The plant, located about 70 km from Chennai, was shut down Sunday after seawater entered the reactor campus in the wake of a massive earthquake off Sumatra in Indonesia.
"MAPS II, a 250MW unit, was shut down on Sunday morning as a precaution," a Nuclear Power Corporation of India official said.
Chaturvedi noted that it was for the first time that tsunamis, a series of giant tidal waves caused by undersea disturbances, had hit the Indian coast. It inflicted massive destruction on life and property, with nearly 1,200 officially reported dead across the country's coast and island territories.
A 120-member Indian Army team, specially trained in meeting exigencies, was rushed to Kalpakkam to assist in relief operations.
The army unit would take steps to safely drain the water out that had entered the plant.
The army has special equipment to deal with nuclear, biological and chemical emergencies.
Off the Kalpakkam coast, 25 people, including 15 women, died as waters rose suddenly, police officials said.
Seawater washed away those sleeping near the coast, particularly fishermen.
The CMG also urged the defence ministry to immediately arrange for supply of relief materials like medicines, blankets and food items to those in the affected areas, including Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
About 45,000 people in the south of Car Nicobar and Greater Nicobar Islands have been affected by the tsunamis. Kamota, Campbell Bay and Havelock Islands have also been affected.
"We have decided to use Chennai as a base for flights carrying relief materials," Chaturvedi said.
He said the home ministry would coordinate with the defence authorities for making relief materials available.
An advisory has been issued to ships and fishermen already on the high seas to remain away from the coast for the next 24 hours.
A massive earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale triggered the tsunamis.
"This earthquake was followed by another at 9.53 p.m., measuring 7.3, off Nicobar Island," Chaturvedi said.
