The Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project threatens to sit the largest park of nuclear reactors in the world on a known and active fault line at the ocean’s edge. Sitting in the midst of an ecological “hotspot” for marine life, it will disrupt a delicate and unstudied ecosystem, in the process destroying sustainable fishing communities that have relied on the region’s biodiversity for generations. Opposition to the plant has been met with violent crackdowns, and the number of protesters injured or dead at the hands of police is growing.
