A review of all nuclear installations in India underway.

Factoring in the lessons learnt from the Fukushima episode , a review of all the nuclear installations in the country is underway to weather all possible disasters.                                                                   *upgradation in safety features of the nuclear plants will apply to the existing ones as well as the new ones( including the proposed Jaitapur plants).                                                                               *Earth quakes,tsunamis that would trigger waves upto 15 metres,hurricane and floods are the factors taken into consideration.                                                                                                   *Four task forces have been set up to upgrade the existing plants and incorporate these in new ones.                                                   *According to new measures it has been decided that new plants would not be constructed in high seismic zones of 6 but at most zone 3,where there is plenty of space.                                               *Lessons learnt in Fukushima are taken into consideration in India's safety upgrade process.                                                                 *According to officials ,the advantage of indian nuclear plants system is that the cooling system here is a multi-layered automatic system .whereas the cooling in the Japanese ones were done through pump systems,which failed once power system went off due to tsunami.
