Local people blockaded the site and brought a halt to commissioning around the last week of July 2011.<\/p>\n<p>The history of the site dates back to 1989\u00a0when it was approved by government for two Russian-built VVER pressurized water reactors. These were not fully planned until 2006, when documentation such as environmental impact assessments were prepared. However, this process took place under a legal framework that did not require public consultation.<\/p>\n<p>Currently the project is mired in political, industrial and civil debate where plant owner Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) and the government Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) are highly visible. NPCIL has complained about \u201cvested interest groups, who are spreading unscientific and incorrect information, fuelling apprehension and fears about nuclear power among the masses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Initially hoping to bring the new nuclear power plant online early this year, Russia\u2019s state nuclear concern Rosatom has said that even in the event of \u201crapid resumption of commissioning\u201d the first reactor could come online in \u201cMay 2012, and the second unit no earlier than February 2013.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two VVER-1000\u00a0model 412\u00a0units are among the world\u2019s most advanced. They feature passive heat removal, core catchers and additional boron injection shutdown mechanisms, while the site also has a hardened emergency control room.<\/p>\n<p>Kudankulam\u2019s problems come in parallel to another serious public opinion issue at Jaitapur in Maharastra state, which is earmarked for the construction of up to six Areva EPRs. Local people there are concerned about the protection of their fishing livelihoods and have been encouraged to rally against the plan by European activists and local political groups. One man was shot dead in April 2011\u00a0during a related attack on a police station in Sakhri Nate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Protest and doubts of the safety of nuclear energy have put a six-month delay on the start-up of two new reactors at Kudankulam, the Russian constructor has said.
