Reacting to the judgement of the Madras High Court, Udayakumar told Express that the High Court had reposed so much faith in the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB), while the CAG report pointed out several shortcomings and inefficiencies.

He said that the expectations of the Madras High Court that the AERB would fulfil all the post-Fukushima Task Force’s recommendations was far-fetched. Udayakumar noted that the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) had told the Madras High Court that the temperature at the discharge point into the sea would be as high as 45 degree Celsius, but within a week, the TNPCB had revised the figure without conducting any scientific tests or getting opinion from experts. first published:September 01, 2012, 08:04 ISTlast updated:September 01, 2012, 08:04 IST
