Abstract : For the development of the country, the electricity generation capacity is to be increased and nuclear power
potential has to be harnessed to meet the targeted economic growth. The nuclear power technology in the country has
demonstrated its commercial viability. With the safe and reliable operation of nuclear power plants, nuclear power has to be
expanded as an economical an d environmentally benign source to meet the growing aspirations of the country and its
people. The demand for electricity is going to increase at fast pace especially in India. For long term sustainable
development, nuclear option is going to be inevitable. T he public acceptance of nuclear energy as a source of electricity and
also for its non-electricity applications is an important key factor for its implementation. The fear psychosis in the minds of
people, which originates from certain myths not based on facts, needs to b e removed by putting forward the scientific facts
before them in a language they can understand and appreciate.
