The document discusses the risks of nuclear energy at each stage from mining to power generation to waste disposal. It notes that radiation levels increase significantly at each stage and waste has no solution. Areas around nuclear facilities become contaminated and waste will contaminate areas for thousands of years. Nuclear accidents can make vast areas uninhabitable for long periods. The document questions if nuclear energy is safe for humans and the environment and shows pictures of health impacts. It outlines existing and proposed nuclear plants in India and the large areas that could be impacted by accidents. Finally, it argues that renewable sources like solar and wind are cheaper alternatives that do not pose the same risks as nuclear.

The riots in Athens began after a 15-year-old boy was shot and killed by a police officer. This sparked protests among Greek youth about issues like education and the government's economic problems. The protests grew increasingly violent as protesters set fires and threw rocks at police. News of the protests spread rapidly through social media like Facebook, Twitter, and blogs as young people organized through text messages and social networks. This showed how new forms of online media can spread news faster than traditional television and radio.

The protests grew increasingly violent as protesters set fires and threw rocks at police. News of the protests spread rapidly through social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and blogs as young people organized and shared information. The large, self-organized nature of the protests demonstrated the power of social media to spread news faster than traditional media and empower people to take action based on their own beliefs rather than what they see on television or hear on the radio.

Areas around nuclear facilities become contaminated and waste storage contaminates large areas for thousands of years. Nuclear accidents can make areas uninhabitable for long periods and impact health through increased cancer rates and birth defects. The document questions if nuclear energy is safe and highlights impacts on the environment, agriculture, animals and humans from contamination. It shows pictures of contamination from uranium mining and nuclear sites. It argues renewable energy and efficiency are better solutions that don't risk lives for a small portion of India's energy needs.
The document provides background on India's growing energy needs and its plans to increase nuclear power capacity. It discusses the Koodankulam nuclear power plant project in Tamil Nadu, which initially faced little opposition but grew as residents realized it did not provide jobs as promised and could threaten their livelihoods from fishing. The 2011 Fukushima disaster intensified protests against the project. The government insists on the plant's safety, but protesters demand more transparency and representation. Tensions increased with police action against protests, legal battles, and intimidating shows of state power. Key issues raised include whether lower classes should risk their lives and livelihoods to fuel energy growth mainly benefiting other classes.

Friends,
Silver Jubilees call for celebrations. Today (26th April, 2011)
let us celebrate (?) the Silver Jubilee of Chernobyl
It is said that public memory is short and short indeed it is ! How many of us remember that today mankind has completed 25 years of disaster at Chernobyl power plant in Russia which claimed thousands of lives immediately and pushed lakhs of lives including the unborn ones at that time into endless misery. Do we consciously remember that more than one lakh sq. km. of land has been permanently rendered uninhabitable. Calculate the cost of this land in terms of land cost in Mumbai or Singapore or New York or Shanghai. Calculate the income and economic prosperity this land could have generated. Any way we have almost forgotten Chernobyl.
But nature has its own strange way of reminding us, if we have not learnt our lessons. It reminded us in the form of the nuclear disaster at Fukushima in Japan. Nothing short of a holocaust has struck mankind once again. Are we prepared to learn or re-learn the lesson? It does not seem so. We, particularly in India, are determined with a vengeance not to learn what nature want us to learn. Not satisfied with sitting on the volcanoes of disaster in the form of 6 existing nuclear power plants in the country we are planning 13 more, and thus adding twice the risk probability than what we already have. And what will this frenzy lead us to in terms of increasing our power availability ? Only 10% of what we are going to need? At what potential cost (not the monetary cost of setting up of nuclear power plants, but the cost in case of a disaster).
As if the Government is very much concerned about this nuclear damage, it has enacted the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill, 2010. It is nothing short of a farce. Can there by a monetary compensation for a life lost or generations doomed to misery? Even if some damage is paid, who pays the damage? – the Government. And from where the Government gets the money to pay the compensation or damage – from the taxes paid by you and me. Hence, is there any real compensation? The drama of compensation in connection with the Bhopal gas leak tragedy is before our eyes for the past 25 years. This very government has helped the culprits flee from India and the compensation proceedings have added insult to the injury for lakhs of victims. The nuclear liability is another version of the same farce.
More than the need of the common man, electricity has become a tool of exploitation used by industry to fatten their purse. Electricity itself is a dangerous element and all the means of its generation are manifold dangerous. The crowning danger is atomic energy. We need to abandon it and look for other sources of energy. There is a talk of solar and wind energy. However, India has another unique source of energy and that is energy from its cattle. More about this energy in some future dispatch.
In the meantime, have a look at the attached slides. If they stir your conscience, be a part of people’s campaign against nuclear power projects.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
4. Radioactive Waste
• Generated at each stage - Mining, Enrichment, Power Generation
– Waste from Enrichment has been used in Depleted Uranium (DU)
bombs used in Iraq
• Even 21st century science has NO ANSWER for Nuclear Waste
Disposal
– Waste contaminates (beyond scope for inhabitation) a huge area in its
vicinity for 1000’s of years
What about the
Is it Safe?
Environment &
People?
home
5. Radiation Contaminates Always
• Even if there is NO NUCLEAR ACCIDENT
– Around a Uranium Mine
– Around an Enrichment Facility
– Around a Nuclear Plant
– Around Nuclear Waste
An area of 30-35 km radius gets
contaminated by nuclear radiation regularly!
home
6. Radiation Spares Nothing
• Impacts Vegetation - Agriculture
– Trees near Jaduguda Uranium Mines have DEFORMED SEEDS
– Agricultural produce is bound to carry unacceptable amounts of
radioactive content
• Impacts Animals
– Radioactive Boars on the rise in Germany (thanks to Chernobyl)
• Impacts Human Beings
home
7. Nuclear Accidents Are Worse!
• Chernobyl : An area of 1,00,000 sq km is UNINHABITABLE for
20,000 years. FOREVER.
Date: 26 April 1986
Plant Capacity: 900 MW
8. Nuclear ‘Meltdown’ in the USA
• Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania: Happened in 1979 due to the
meltdown of fuel rods
• Health effects mostly unstudied or kept clandestine
home
9. Impact of Nuclear Radiation
on Humans
• Cancer in the next 2 to 60 years
• Deformed babies - FOREVER!
The pictures that follow may be disturbing

28. Improving Existing Energy Efficiency
• India can save 30-40% of its electricity deficit by simple
Conservation techniques
– Improving the efficiency of existing power plants (we are way behind
international standards at the moment)
– Decentralizing electricity generation to reduce long distance
transmission losses
The cost of implementing these Efficiency Improvement
Measures is MUCH LESS THAN that of setting up New Plants
home
29. Conserving Electricity
• We can save 30% increased demand of electricity by 2013 by
using energy efficient electrical infrastructure at home
– Fans, Incandescent Bulbs, Tube Lights
– Refrigerators, ACs, Air Coolers
– Electric Water Heaters
– Computers, TVs, DVD Players, Set-Top-Boxes (active mode)

30. Use Renewable Sources
• They are Cheap
Spend the millions & billions on
• They are Unlimited research of Renewable Energy
rather than on Nuclear
• They don’t Kill
• They are ‘un-researched’
America is the world’s largest
producer of Wind Power
Solar Energy has the potential to
feed Earth 1000 times
Solar Water Heaters in Bangalore save
900 MW of peak load. Already!

35. Why is Nuclear Power Promoted in India?
• Current energy policies are designed to benefit foreign MNCs
General Electrics Westinghouse Areva
Newspapers admit that THEY ARE HERE FOR A $40 BN BUSINESS
home
36. Why is Nuclear Power Promoted in India?
• Profit for MNCs who will provide reactor designs
• Commission for Indian Politicians, Intellectuals, Scientists
Investment at the
9,900 WM Jaitapur ` 10,00,00,00,00,00,000
Nuclear Plant One Lakh Crores only!
All Nuclear Plants in India offer
lucrative prospects
for these Patriots!
home
37. Why is Renewable Energy Unknown?
• Very less or No Scope for Investment (read profit)
• Giants MNCs in the Nuclear Power sector are too strong to let
the Renewable Energy sector grow
– And hence, almost No Solar or Wind Scientists
home
39. And Our Government’s Gift for US
• The Nuclear Civil Liabilities Bill by our government says that:
Any foreign company WILL NOT be held
liable for any nuclear accidents on Indian
soil, whatsoever
They WILL NOT pay any Compensation
We CAN NOT sue them in Indian or
Foreign courts
home
41. The ‘West’ is Disowning Nuclear Power
