Ex-Indian President and scientist APJ Abdul Kalam has said a controversial planned nuclear plant in the southern state of Tamil Nadu is safe.

Speaking on a visit to the Kudankulam plant, he said it was equipped with "sophisticated safety features and there is no need to panic".

Work at the plant has been halted following protests by local villagers.

Protesters say the facility is unsafe and fear a repeat of the disaster at Japan's Fukushima plant.

the Indian government is building this plant so it can bring a higher standard of living to the villagers whose land it's stealing. And, doing that is worth the risk of irradiating half the Indian Sub-Continent. :evilgrin:
