The growth in the application of nuclear science and technology in the fields of power generation, medicine, industry, agriculture, research and defence has led to an increase in the risk of occurrence of Nuclear and Radiological emergencies in the State. Gujarat has Kakrapar Atomic Power Station (KAPS) in Surat District and is vulnerable to nuclear disaster.

The plan defines the roles and responsibility of different stakeholders to be prepared and respond to such emergencies. |
