#3 Looks like West Bengal is getting reactors too

Centre approves N-power station in WB
Kolkata, June 19: The centre has approved the setting up of a nuclear power station at Egra in West Bengal's East Midnapore District, Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharjee said here today.

"The centre has agreed in principle to the setting up of a nuclear power station in the state and we have asked the Consulting Engineering Services (India) Private Ltd (CES) for feasibility study on the ambitious project," Bhattacharjee said inaugurating the first phase of the CES centre at Salt Lake.

Bhattacharjee said it would be set up in the Egra area but site selection was yet to be made and it would be done in accordance with the feasibility report of the project.

The approval of a nuclear power station in West Bengal came nearly a decade after the centre refused to okay a state government plan for one in the Sunderbans primarily because of strategic problems.

A few years ago, a nuclear power station was commissioned at Nagoma in Japan with the consultancy of the CES, the Chief Minister said.

CES sources said the company was making a feasibility study of various other mega projects in the state, including a Greenfield airport, a deep sea port along with ports at Kulpi and Sagar, an elevated light rapid transport system and eastern highway link connecting Barasat with Kulpi and Raichak.
