This should make us sit up and think. Comments, some by me and several by readers on my column on Koodankulam Stalled Again: Sinister Geopoltics.

 

 

1. Sergei Ryzhov, the chief designer of the light water VVER nuclear reactors built by Russia in foreign countries, including India, was among those killed in the plane crash in Russia that claimed at least 44 lives in June 2011. Russia has built many nuclear power plants abroad with the VVER reactor, including one in Kudankulam in Tamil Nadu. The whole leadership of the designers units of Russia's state nuclear corporation was killed when a Tu-134 passenger plane crash landed in the northern republic of Karelia. - Radha Rajan

 

2. Sergei Ryzhov and the other nuclear reactor design experts were killed by the same forces that killed Homi Bhabha in the exact same way and for the same reasons.

3. Several prominent members of Russian nuclear community lost their lifes Sergey Ryzhov, Reactor Chief Designer, Gidropress Gennady Banyuk, his deputy, Gidropress Nikolay Trunov, Reactor Designer and Department Head, Gidropress Andrey Trofimov, Chief Technology Officer, Afrikantov Bureau Valery Lyalin, Department Head, Rosatom This is geopolitics. This is the Dirty Tricks Department. - Radha Rajan

 

4. Death of Homi Babha and Vikram Sarabhai: http://interestingnewsfromallover.blogspot.com/2010/05/mystery-death-of-two-indian-nuclear.html

 

5. In the past four years, FOUR Iranian nuclear scientists have been assassinated, and there have been reports of mysterious blasts at some of the nuclear facilities. The murders began with Ardeshin Hassonpour’s death in 2007. Then Massoud Ali Mohammad was shot outside his home in Jan 2010; Darioush Rezaeinejad was shot outside daughter’s kindergarten school in July 2011; he was working on a trigger for a nuclear weapon. Fereydoon Abbasi, head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, barely survived a car bomb under his car, but the attack took the life of Majid Shahriari [Nov 2010]. Iran blames Israel, the United States and Britain.
