According to Sri Lankan minister for Power and Energy Champika Ranawaka,  the issue would be raised at the next International                   Atomic Energy Agency confabulation scheduled in September, Xinhua reported Sunday.Sri Lankan is concerned over the impact a nuclear disaster in one of  the plants located in southern India could have on Sri Lanka, he said. Talking to reporters, Ranawaka said that his ministry has already  raised the issue with India and called for talks on reaching a disaster  mitigating process in the event of a disaster in one of the nuclear  plants on the south Indian coast. Sri Lanka is seeking an agreement with India on nuclear disaster management and India had responded positively, he said. In the event of a nuclear disaster in India, the Sri Lankan  authorities feel their northern town of Mannar will be the hardest hit. Sri Lanka's power and energy ministry is currently conducting a  survey of the coast of Mannar as well as Jaffna also in the north to  identify the areas to conduct radiation tests, the minister said. Sri Lanka wants to be prepared for a nuclear disaster following the  incidents in Japan last year where a nuclear plant was damaged as a  result of an earthquake and a tsunami.IANS</blockquote>
