Sri Lanka and India are ready for a memorandum of understanding regarding the proposed Nuclear Power plant to be built in India, the Atomic Energy Authority (AEA) stated.

Chairman of the AEA, Dr. Ranjith Wijeyawardena stated that the MoU was signed under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Authority according to which no threat will be posed to Sri Lanka through the proposed nuclear plant.

Dr. Wijeyawardena said that in most cases nuclear power plants pose little threat to the surrounding areas adding that it was unlikely that India with its superior nuclear technology would build a plant that could cause harm to Sri Lanka.
