摘要

India has vast reserves of uranium which is a nuclear fuel. The population of nation has reached 1.3 billion and yet 71 years post independence many a villages are not connected to the electrical grid. Power quality is a perennial issue and India faces energy shortage to meet the base load as well as peak load demand. Considering the vast strides made by India in harnessing renewable energy sources like wind and solar the only green option left to exploit is that of nuclear energy. Globally as on April 2017, 30 nations are producing electricity through nuclear route employing 449 reactors which amount to 11% of electricity produced coming from nuclear power. Even 70 years after independence the nuclear energy share is less than 5 % in India and hence scope exists for enhancing its share. The nation has few scattered nuclear power plants and one of them is at Kaiga in Uttar Kannada district of Karnataka. Kaiga is located at 14.8661° N longitude and 74.4394° E latitude. This Nuclear Power Corporation of India unit was established in 2000 with two units of 220 MW capacity and expanded to four units by adding two more units of 220 MW each in 2007 and 2011. All four units are small CANDU units using natural uranium as fuel and heavy water as moderator. The unit basically is a pressurized heavy water reactor plant. The plant is successfully operating for the past 17 years without any major issues with a plant load factor exceeding 90%. This study entails designing a questionnaire and administering the same to 510 individuals covering 5% of the total population of 10 villages in 30 km radius of the plant. The results do not reveal any adverse effect of the 17 years operation of the plant on the flora and fauna of the region. The villagers and their families stand to be benefitted by the CSR activities of NPCIL over these years in the field of education, infrastructure, healthcare and transportation.
