NEW DELHI: An emergency has been declared within the nuclear plant at Kakrapar in Gujarat after a major water leak in a nuclear reactor. No worker has been exposed to radiation, said officials, adding that the employees remained sequestered for hours, which is standard operating procedure.
The workers were allowed to go home after they had been counted and accounted for as officials checked to ensure that no radioactivity was reported outside the plant.
Officials at India's nuclear operator, Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), told NDTV the "reactor has shut down safely and no radiation has leaked out".
They said the safety checks and systems kicked in as intended for emergencies.
The nuclear reactor is expected to take another 24 hours to cool down, said sources.
