INDIA SHRINKS THE KILL RADIUS TO RECLAIM LAND

India is moving to reduce the buffer zones around its nuclear reactors. The government wants to reclaim the land for other uses. This is a calculated move to ignore the danger.

The plan focuses on shrinking the exclusion areas. This brings people and industry closer to the cores. The risk of radiation exposure is being treated as an acceptable cost.

The consequences are clear.

• Smaller buffers between reactors and citizens.
• Increased density near potential meltdown sites.
• The commodification of disaster zones.

The land is being reclaimed. The safety margins are being erased. There is no way to undo the damage once the containment fails.
