yes. it "can" kill. Meanwhile, thermal power plants kill more people each month than nuclear plats have killed over the entire history. Have you ever visited an area near a thermal plant? The fly ash kills multiple generations in one shot. The pollution caused by them also kills uncountable many. And don't even get started on the associated coal mining industry that kills 1000s each year. But don't bother. Let's not let facts get in the way of scaremongering.
Nuclear power is dangerous simply because aftereffects of a leak could stay on for long time and cause horrible damage to humans in that area. Yes coal is bad and so is hydel too but nuclear takes the cake in terms of the dangers.
Japanese are one of the most diligent and hard working people even they are facing tough times to contain the damage.
Imagine what would happen to India in a similar scenario especially with a n plant ? hope Manmohan is listening, he will blame it on someone else at that time but people of India will suffer.
Similar thing happened in Bhopal when news reporters were reporting massive problems in Union carbide plant where as the political leadership just ignored them all, in fact Arjun Singh gave a clean chit to that plant, next we had the tragedy and Arjun Singh roaming free becoming icon of secularism.

The Sardarji has already sold out India's interest to the US revival of their Reactor industries. So there is no going back till the congress is in power. Chasttisgarh is future fukushima or Chernobyl

yes. sunlight is there. but solar panels are not inexpensive enough yet. Some breakthroughs are needed in the semi conductor technology to enable cheap solar panels.
