Talk:Kakrapar Atomic Power Station

There are more incidents
http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-08-01/surat/29838174_1_radiation-kaps-kakrapar in 2011 - 4 workers exposed to doses. Concerns dismissed as them no showing any immediate signs of radiation poisoning - which is almost always fatal. However, high doses can lead to long term problem, which is completely ignored by the authorities.

http://www.dianuke.org/breaking-tritium-leak-in-nuclear-reactor-at-rawatbhata/ in 2012. 38 workers exposed to tritium leaks. News largely suppressed in mainstream media, though a local newspaper reported it. Concerns dismissed.

 * For the first, found archived as saved link, the one-time dose was "A radiation of 90 mSv ..." which is on the safe side. The worker limits of 15 mSv or 20 mSv are for daily exposure. The cited values of 2000 mSv to 5000 mSv at which a person may suffer from nausea and vomiting or in extreme cases suffer from acute radiation syndrome, are ten to fifty time higher.


 * About the second, found at updated link, in general tritium exposure is not of concern. Opinion stated of "prominent nuclear physicist Dr. Surendra Gadekar said there is no “safe does” of Tritium" is based on the, scientifically unproved, Linear no-threshold model, refuted by reputable research that states that under specified levels, exposure not only does no harm, but may be beneficial (the LNT model ignores existing DNA repair mechanisms and is not supported by biological evidence and deprecated by international bodies specializing in radiation protection). --Robertiki (talk) 16:07, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

2021 is over, what's up with unit 4?
It says it was "planned" to open in 2021. Either it has since done so, or the year needs to be changed... Hobbitschuster (talk) 23:06, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
