Grave Danger to people !! Champika’s much hyped power grid creates nuclear radiation leak !- Stop halal (nonsense) baila and start solving

(Lanka-e-News-03.March.2013, 10.30PM) The SL Kudankulam people’s movement against the Kudankulam nuclear power grid had issued a notice that since 27th February 2013 night there has arisen a nuclear radiation leak of uranium when the power grid was being filled with that chemical. Over 10000 people comprising Indian nationals and locals living there are engaged in fishing , agriculture and trade . Consequent upon this pollution these residents’ lives are driven into great peril. The people’s Organization has therefore urged the responsible officials and authorities to reveal the actual and true position to the people without following their evil characteristic policies of suppressing rather than solving the people’s urgent problems. The power and energy Minister Champika Ranawake at that time,when this power grid was being launched along with the chairman of the SL atomic power plant Authority , Dr. Wijewardena announced , with great pride amidst much pomp , publicity and fuss that this grid had been introduced in conformity with the highest world standards and the scheme is possessed of the best features. It was also declared that this scheme confirms the close ties between the two countries . A joint communique too was released to the media in this connexion. Now like a Frankenstein monster , this much hyped creation of SL political demons is trying to destroy the people through a most dangerous air pollution. In the circumstances , if there follows a widespread nuclear air pollution , it is the local Frankenstein creator and the monster , the MaRa regime and Minister who should hold themselves responsible. The worst part ? despite the afflicted and frightened people of SL Kudankulam expressing their grave concerns and the dangers they are exposed to , none of them responsible for creating this deadly situation has given any answers. By this attitude , it is very clear that there exists a most lethal secret . Sampur to lose big Reported by: Lashane Cooray-2013-03-03 A high ranking government official warned if the Sampur Coal Power Plant project is implemented as per the terms of the current agreement with the Indian Government, the Government of Sri Lanka will incur a loss of Rs 15 billion per annum, because of low energy efficiency levels. Speaking to Ceylon Today, the official, who did not wish to be named, alleged the 500MW power plant, which has been in the pipeline as a joint venture between the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) and the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) of India since 2011, would incur the huge annual losses due to its output inefficiency, slated as 22%, nearly 20% below the international standard for such coal power plants, which has been set at 40%. “For an input of 100 units of coal, the output should be at least 40% efficiency, but efficiency levels of the Sampur Coal Power Plant will only be 22%. If this level could at least be increased to 35%, Sri Lanka can benefit from the project,” the official said. He cited this clear disadvantage to Sri Lanka as the main reason for the reluctance of the former Power and Energy Minister to continue with the project. Commenting on the string of delays that had taken place while implementing the project, he said, “The original reason for the delays was the lack of a Power Purchase Rate in the agreement arrived at by the NTPC and the CEB in September 2011. In the end, this agreement wasn’t finalized, but a mutual understanding was reached by the two entities that a feasibility study had to be carried out in order to determine a rate.” Commenting on the possibility of the Government of India entertaining an ulterior agenda, to use the power plant for India’s purposes, although it being based in Sri Lanka, he said, “That is difficult to imagine, as this 500 MW plant does not produce anywhere near the power required by a single State in India. Sri Lanka itself requires 2100 MW of power per day.” The Minister for Power and Energy, Pavithra Wanniarachchi, Minister of Foreign Investment Promotions, Lakshman Yapa Abeywardene or CEB officials were unavailable for comment.
