# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

India says nuclear plants safe, but better response needed

01 Jun 2011 15:40
NEW DELHI (AlertNet)- India's rapidly emerging nuclear power plants are
seismically safe, but the country needs to ramp up its capacity to respond
should an emergency strike, a top disaster management official warned on
Wednesday.
The nuclear fallout from the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March has
in recent months turned the media spotlight onto India's own nuclear
energy expansion plans and the high risks it poses.
Following a meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to review the
country's level of preparedness to cope with a nuclear crisis, National
Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) officials told a news conference they
were satisfied with the construction and design of the country's plants.
"Dr Banerjee, head of the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB), has
reassured us that they are very confident that our facilities are safe,"
said Shashidhar Reddy, NDMA's vice chairman.
Citing disasters from the past where Indian nuclear plants have emerged
relatively unscathed - the 7.9 magnitude quake which hit the western state
of Gujarat in 2001 and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami - Reddy said it
proved that such facilities could withstand a major natural disaster.
With an energy deficit of about 12 percent, power-starved India is rapidly
establishing nuclear plants to fuel its economic growth. It currently has
22 plants across the country and at least six more are on the way.
BOOSTING RESPONSE
But the events at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi plant have not only
resurrected concerns from environmentalists and social activists over the
need for nuclear power, but also whether due attention is being given to
the risk of a nuclear fallout in the world's second-most populous nation.
Reddy said while he believed the construction standards of nuclear
facilities were safe, India still needed to prepare for the worst.
"Despite having a clean record, the government is very keen on taking all
necessary preparedness measures to deal with any unlikely nuclear or
radiological emergency," he said, adding that plans for mass evacuations
of affected populations and better detection of radiation were being
examined.
This ministry of health has also produced a road map on improving
response, which includes stockpiling medicines and equipment, training
doctors and paramedics in dealing with nuclear and radiological injuries
as well as investing in psychosocial care.
In districts where there are nuclear installations, the government hopes
to pre-position specialised medical teams, upgrade and equip hospitals and
create better awareness amongst the general public on how to protect
themselves.
"The honourable prime minister has directed concerned officials of all the
ministries to fast-track all these activities," said Reddy. "I am very
confident that we will be able make a lot of progress ... so that we can
instil confidence in the minds of the people of this country."
