CLIMATE DATA
Jamshedpur features a tropical wet and dry climate. Summers start in

mid-March and can be extremely hot in May and June. The temperature
variation during summer is from 35 to 49 °C (95 to 120 °F). The
minimum temperature during winters is 5 °C (41 °F). The climate of
Jamshedpur is marked by south-west monsoon. Jamshedpur gets heavy
rainfall from July to September and receives about 1,200 mm (47 in) of
rainfall annually.
THE NUCLEAR GRAVEYARD
By 2032, India hopes to generate 63 gigawatts
of nuclear power that would cut its dependence
for energy and put it on the path to progress.
But progress, they say, comes at a price.
Jadugoda, in the eastern state of Jharkhand, is
that price.
This lethal feed for the country's reactors is
slowly finishing an entire generation of tribal
living in the area. The photo essay documents
this dark legacy of Jadugoda
The horrifying expense of unchecked progress
through the eyes of its people.
NUCLEAR
DREAMS THEIR
WOUND
A native of Jadugoda, Laxmi Das has had three
miscarriages and lost five children within a week of
their births. When her ninth child, Gudia, survived,
she considered herself fortunate until she
discovered that her baby has cerebral palsy and
would be bed ridden for life. Gudia passed away in
2012, leaving the scars of her memory. In Jadugoda,
a uranium-rich district in the eastern Indian state of
Jharkhand, there are many women who share
Laxmi's fate..
The people of Jadugoda are exposed to
radioactivity in several ways: uranium mining
and milling operations produce dust and release
radon gas, both of which are inhaled by miners
and cause internal irradiation. Uranium ore is
transported in uncovered trucks on bumpy
roads, causing radioactive debris to fall off and
land on the side of the road. The mine's tailings
retain high percentage of the original radiation
and are dumped in unlined and uncovered
ponds, which emit radon gas and gamma
radiation
Villages which are in close proximity of the
tailing ponds are the worst affected. During the
dry season, dust from the tailings blows through
these villages. During the monsoon rains,
radioactive waste spills into the surrounding
creeks and rivers, causing further internal
radiation as villagers use the contaminated water
for washing and drinking and also use the
nearby ponds for fishing.
SO HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS
NUCLEAR WASTE
?
A. Currently the most popular method of
destroying nuclear waste is the old way of
burring it deep inside earth.
B. Vitrify it and change that into glass.
C. Throw it into the volcano.
D. Throw it towards the sun.
A STEP TOWARDS NEW TOMMOROW
ENVIRONMENTAL
SURVEILLANCE
• Health Physics Unit and Environmental Survey Laboratory of
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre’ carries out in-plant and
environmental monitoring of all the UCIL units.
• The laboratory also evaluates and ensures overall safety in
accordance with the standards prescribed by the national and
international regulatory bodies like Atomic Energy Regulatory
Board(AERB) and the International Commission on
Radiological Protection(ICRP).
• Monitoring of radioactivity and radiation level in different
matrices in the mine, mill and surroundings is carried out in
routine basis and analysed.
• This facilitates continual improvement in working and living
environment. Samples of soil, grass, vegetables, food stuff and
aquatic organisms like algae fish etc. are also analysed to
study the environmental impact.
WELFARE
 The Talent Nurture Programme (TNP) of the company imparts free
education to the children of the economically backward people of the
surrounding villages. Under this programme, every year about 30
children are being selected from the tribal community of the
surrounding villages for admission to Atomic Energy Central
Schools run by the company. Apart from free education, these
students are provided with complete set of text books, exercise books
and uniforms at free of cost and also a monthly stipend of Rs.300/-
for male child and Rs.400/- for every child.
 Besides above, company also organizes various sports

activities for employees as well as local youths at
regular intervals under the aegis of the Jaduguda
Sports Council. Family welfare programme and blood
donation camp are also organized from time to time.
Health camps are also being organized at regular basis
for local villagers.
• Company continued its efforts towards peripheral
development of its surrounding villages. The
vocational training programme to local unemployed
youths in collaboration with Jan Sikhshan Sanstha (an
organization under the Ministry of Human Resource
Development) is being conducted regularly.
• They were imparted training on different trades like
mushroom cultivation, health care, training in cottage
industries like making of candle, incense stick,
greetings card, sericulture, chalk making and tailoring
etc.
• More than one thousand land displaced persons in
various projects have been provided employment.
UCIL has started Industrial Training Centre to equip
local youths with skills required in Industries.
