		Kalpakkam is an hour's drive from Chennai, capital of the State of Tamilnadu, India's worst-hit tsunami target.
		None of these tsunamis could possibly have been a patch on the nuclear nightmare that we have providentially escaped - that is, the fallout that would have compounded the other consequences of the calamity, if Kalpakkam had met the fate of the submerged temples or suffered even lesser damage.
		The unconcealed assumption is that such questions run directly counter to the country's "development." The attitude stems from a "development" strategy that has no place for the ordinary people's interests, such as public health.

		Although the Kalpakkam facility escaped major damage, the fact that 30 inmates of the plant's residential complex nearby died and that several of them were technical personnel or atomic scientists was proof enough that planners never seriously considered the possibility of a tsunami striking the Tamil Nadu coast.
