Kolkata : The Atomic Energy Commission Wednesday expressed its willingness to approach West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee who has ruled out Haripur in East Midnapore district as the site of a 10,000 mw nuclear power plant.
“We would like to meet the new chief minister,” AEC Chairman Srikumar Banerjee told mediapersons here on the sidelines of a seminar at the Indian Statistical Institute.
Srikumar Banerjee said more than the government’s acceptance of a proposal, public acceptance was needed for the project.
Asked about the current status of the site, he said: “The site has been selected and we are through with a part of geo-technical assessment. The time for procurement of land has not yet arrived.”
