Nuclear Energy Education Meet (NEEM-2012), a two-day awareness event wherein nuclear technology experts would participate, is being organised in Madurai on March 2 and 3.
Velammal College of Engineering and Technology is hosting the meet in association with Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant to provide factual information to students, youth and general public about safety of nuclear power.
“Due to some confusion and lack of facts prevailing about nuclear power, NEEM-2012 is aimed at disseminating clear and factual information about the advantages of nuclear power and its safety in a State where power generation from other natural resources seem to be unviable,” N. Suresh Kumar, Principal of the college, said in a press release issued here on Wednesday.
Interactive sessions with nuclear technology experts, exhibition on nuclear technology models/posters besides competitions for students of colleges and schools will be held. “In the present day scenario of extreme power shortage where industries, agriculturists and common people in Tamil Nadu have been experiencing unprecedented frustration and discomfort, we are in a situation which can be described aptly as having a bird in hand but we are hunting for more in the bush,” he said.
