RE: The Nuclear power reactor at Kalpakkam is safe

["Bjorn Cedervall" <bcradsafers@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Dr. K.S.Parthasarathy



Thank you for your swift response. I am focused on a few questions because I 

am interested in how our media work - this is my only point (it is thus at 

this point not about radioactivity).



1. Was MAPS-2 damaged in any sense and if so - how?

2. Was MAPS-2 shut down before or after the flood?

3. Did any water reach inside the containment or the reactor system of the 

MAPS-2 or the breeder?

4. When you write that the power station was shut down - does that mean 

MAPS-2 as well as the breeder reactor or only the MAPS-2?



Sincerely yours,



Bjorn Cedervall

MAPS-1 was already under shut down condition from 20th August 2003 for 

Enmasse Coolant Channel Replacememnt and Upgradation. MAPS-2 was working at 

210 MWe when the tsunami event occurred. The power station was  brought 

under safe shut down condition. All nuclear installations at the site are 

safe and there is no danger of any radiation release.
