Radiation Contaminates Always

Even if there is NO NUCLEAR ACCIDENT

Around a Uranium Mine

Around an Enrichment Facility

Around a Nuclear Plant

Around Nuclear Waste

An area of30-35 km radius getscontaminated by nuclear radiationregularly!

Radiation Spares Nothing

Impacts Vegetation - Agriculture

Trees near Jaduguda Uranium Mines have DEFORMED SEEDS

Agricultural produce is bound to carry unacceptable amountsof radioactive content

Impacts Animals

Radioactive Boars on the rise in Germany (thanks to Chernobyl)

Impacts Human Beings

Improving Existing EnergyEfficiency

India can save 30-40% of its electricity deficit by

simple Conservation techniques

Improving the efficiency of existing power plants (we are waybehind international standards at the moment)

Decentralizing electricity generation to reduce long distancetransmission losses

home

The cost of implementing these Efficiency ImprovementMeasures is MUCH LESS THAN that of setting up New

Plants

Conserving Electricity

We can save 30% increased demand of

electricity by 2013 by using energy efficientelectrical infrastructure at home

Fans, Incandescent Bulbs, Tube Lights

Refrigerators, ACs, Air Coolers

Electric Water Heaters

Computers, TVs, DVD Players, Set-Top-Boxes (activemode)

Use Renewable Sources

They are Cheap

They are Unlimited

They dontKill

They are un-researched

America is the worlds largestproducer of Wind Power

Solar Energy has the potentialto feed Earth 1000 times

Solar Water Heaters in Bangaloresave 900 MW of peak load.

Already!

Spend the millions &

billions on research ofRenewable Energy rather

than on Nuclear

Indias Electricity Scenario

Government declaresProjected energy by all Nuclear Plants = just 60,000 MW

Hardly 10% of the electricity deficit

Electricity Produced in2006

1,60,000 MW

Electricity Required8,00,000 MW(by 2032 to sustain 8%growth)
