From the publication:

The State of Karnataka is coming on the nuclear map of India in a big way. This 
land of beauty and plenty has been chosen to house the entire nuclear fuel cycle: 
uranium mining, processing and enrichment of radioactive materials; burning it 
in nuclear reactors, stockpiling and ultimate burial of its deadly wastes.

This vicious cycle has its spikes rooted in the choicest spots of this State:
• Uranium mining in the serene and evergreen hills of the Western Ghats;
• Uranium processing and enrichment at Ratnahalli, adjacent to Brindavan 
Gardens, the most popular tourist spot in Karnataka;
• Construction of a reactor complex on the bank of River Kali, again in the 
midst of a virgin evergreen forest and game sanctuary;
• Burial plans for the hazardous wastes In the Kolar Gold Fields, the pride of 
Karnataka and India.
