Kudankulam got a vague environmental clearance in 1989 when the site was not decided, no Environment Impact Assessment was done and no public hearing was conducted (despite being mandatory under law). 3 critical changes were made since: spent fuel will be stored at the plant instead of being sent to Russia, ultimate heat sink will be the sea instead of behind dam, and allowable water temperature rise is higher.
