Nuclear future
The year marked with protests surrounding nuclear power installations in India ended with a twist-in-the-tale — Australia allowed a change of policy to export uranium to India, despite India being a non-signatory to the non-proliferation treaty. Protests at Kudankulam nuclear power plant in Tamil Nadu following the Fukushima disaster had put the government in a tight spot. The plant was ready to fire all guns with the Russian-built reactors but anti-nuclear protests have forced government to defer the ribbon-cutting ceremony indefinitely. Jaitapur in Maharashtra also saw similar protests halting work to set up the French nuclear power reactors there.
