Introduction

 Kalpakkam site is situated on the east coast of India,

about 65 km south of Chennai city
 Kalpakkam site is growing into a major nuclear
complex comprising Madras Atomic Power Station
(MAPS) which has two units of pressurized heavy
water reactor (installed capacity of 235 MWe each), a
fast breeder test reactor, a centralised Waste
Management Facility
Introduction

 paper focuses on the correlation between release and

observed activity and long-term trends in the
radioactivity concentration in the environmental
matrices
Site information
 authorized signatory Nuclear Power Corporation of India
Limited
 Does the project related to new : project/ expansion project/
modernization project Modernization Project
 Capacity (MW) for existing and after expansion both same 440
 (i) Geographical Location
 Latitude 12.5238° N
 Longitude 80.1568° E
 Elevation above Mean Sea Level 6.096m
 Distance from river, lake, sea, airport, town, sanctuary none
 Whether any part falls within the coastal regulation zone (CRZ)
Puduppattinam and Sadurangappatinam
 Land requirement for the proposed project/s (in ha) 4100 ha

Results and Discussion

 Concentration of 3H in air 3H in air s. 3H release through stack

 Gross beta profile in air Effect on Rice
 Effect on vegetables

 Efffect on Milk

 Effect on milk
 Effect on Drinking Water Effect on soil
 Marine environment
Mitigation Measures
 A protection green belt should be developed around the
power plant for purification of air, and from aesthetic point
of view it is essential also. This would help in creation of a
buffer zone.
 Regular monitoring and mentoring of physicochemical
and radiation parameters need to be carried out in
biological samples as a post-project activity.
 The wastewater from power plant and nearby areas should
be treated to meet the disposal standards and domestic
sewage shall be completely reused for irrigation of
plantations and green belt development.
 Regular monitoring and mentoring of diversity and density
of marine and terrestrial flora and fauna needs to be
carried out as a part of post-project activity.
Conclusion

 The environmental monitoring programme at

Kalpakkam included a large number of samples in
atmospheric, terrestrial and marine environment,
which were collected and analysed during the last 25 y.
 137Cs and 90Sr activity in air filter samples were mostly
below the detection limit. A ratio of 0.2 was obtained
for 90Sr to 137Cs only during Chernobyl accident
period.
 The proposed project has an intermediate waste level.
 Category 2 of both gaseous and solid waste levels, but
category 5 of liquid waste level.
 Level 2 classification of land and land use pattern.
 All the noise and water quality parameters were
checked and found within the permissible limits.
