The Story in Brief
The Humanitarian Atom Fest, organised by Russia’s honorary consulate in Thiruvananthapuram and the International Russophile Movement, concluded on Sunday. It marked the 55th anniversary of the Indo-Soviet Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Cooperation, and featured programmes on India-Russia peaceful nuclear cooperation.
Former diplomat T.P. Sreenivasan inaugurated the closing ceremony. Officials including M.G. Rajamanickam of Kerala State Electricity Board, Honorary Consul Ratheesh Nair, Dmitry Savvin of the Kudankulam plant, and Anastasia Morozova of Rosatom’s Atomstroyexport addressed the gathering.
The Indian Opinion
The festive tone around India-Russia nuclear ties glosses over the real uncertainties: cost overruns and delays at Kudankulam, and Western sanctions that complicate payments and equipment supply for future reactors. Organisers touted 55 years of friendship, but the public wants timelines and tariff impact from new units, not photo-ops. When the Kudankulam 3 and 4 reach criticality, those dates will matter far more than any cultural programme.
