‘Atomic research not harmful’

Agartala: Coming down heavily on activists for spreading ‘unnecessary’ fear among the people about atomic research, Atomic Energy Commission chairman Anil Kakodkar said on Monday that they were doing it without proper knowledge on the matter.

“There is a lot of activism about the harmful effects of atomic research but we should listen to what experts say and not the activists,” he said while inaugurating a programme on prevention of cancer here. No group or individual was, however, named or cited by him. — PTI
