Villagers and fishermen from around the controversial Kudankulam nuclear plant in India's Tamil Nadu state are once again taking to the sea protesting against the fuelling of the plant. Hundreds of boats carrying protesters gathered at 500 metres from the plant, according to the (BBC). They fear a disaster similar to the one at Japan's Fukushima plant last year. But India's government says the plant meets the highest safety standards and in September, the Supreme Court rejected a petition by the anti-nuclear protesters to stop fuel being loaded into the plant. Security is tight around the plant with hundreds of police and paramilitary deployed in the area.
