India is heavily invested
in nuclear power, with a complete fuel chain including 13 operating
power stations, 6 research reactors and enough nuclear weapons to lay
waste to South Asia. A great many inspiring people are carrying Gandhi's
techniques of nonviolent refusal into campaigns against the shockingly
polluting, unsafe Indian reactors. There have been a number of nuclear
near misses at these installations (fires, floods etc) and disaster
has been averted more than once by sheer luck.

Uranium Nightmare
The 30 year old Jaduguda mine is

for Indian Traditional Owners (tribals, or Adivasis) and their rights
have been trodden underfoot by the Indian government. Uranium Corporation
of India Limited (UCIL) denies that the catastrophic health effects
in nearby villages has anything to do with their mine.
