NEW DELHI, Dec 30: A nuclear power plant in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu which was battered by the massive tsunami in the Indian Ocean will resume operations, a report said on Friday.
Authorities said on Sunday they shut down the Indira Gandhi Atomic Energy Centre in Kalpakkam, 80 kilometres south of Tamil Nadu capital, Madras, as a precaution.
Tamil Nadu was the worst hit state on the mainland in India with 6,170 people dead. Five senior members inspected the nuclear power reactors and other facilities at Kalpakkam on Wednesday to assess the status of the plant. -AFP
