The following in an extract taken from the Greenpeace Request:
It’s almost two weeks and Japan is still struggling with its natural and nuclear emergency. My thoughts are with the people of Japan. Can you imagine a Japan-like situation in India and the way it would be handled?
India needs to review all its nuclear projects, especially the one in Jaitapur, Maharashtra. Like Fukushima in Japan, Jaitapur is also in an earthquake prone zone.[1] In fact the reactor being used here is still under review in US and UK.[2] In spite of all this, the government plans to go ahead with this plant. [3]
The people of Jaitapur don’t want this plant. [4] Along with people from all walks of life, I am marching to the Parliament on Friday March 25th to deliver the petition opposing the Jaitapur plant to the Prime Minister’s Office. Right now we have over 63,000 signatures. Our target is one lakh signatures and we have just one day.
You should sign this petition to show support for the people in Jaitapur and help us reach the target.

Over one lakh signatures asking for a public consultation on the nuclear liability bill, made the government organise one. We can do this again. Lakhs of signatures supporting the protests in Jaitapur will help put pressure on the government to reconsider this plant.
The sad events in Japan have made the world look again at nuclear technology.[5] This is the right time for India to switch to clean and safe renewable energy options, and maximize the potential of efficient energy use.
Nuclear energy is a gamble which threatens lives and the environment. I am marching to the Parliament on Friday to tell the government that we don’t need dangerous energy. Help strengthen this demand by signing the petition.

Thanks a billion!
