This is the closest to us with just  200 kms away,” R L Wijewardene, the Atomic Energy Authority (AEA)  Chairman, said.He said three years ago the AEA had set in motion the radiological emergency preparedness programme. Wijewardena  said eight early warning detectors would be set up with the help of the  UN nuclear watchdog IAEA along the coastal areas.“These will be  located in Colombo and Kalpitiya in the western province, Talaimannar  and Delft islet in the north, Trincomalee in the east and inland in the  central district of Kandy.“These will be operated from AEA  offices after they become operational in about two months. We will be  able to warn public early about the dangers to create preparedness,” he  said.Kudankulam’s close proximity to Sri Lanka had warranted the  island drawing attention of the IAEA over any possible disasters in the  event of an accident, officials said.IAEA in March had stated  that Sri Lanka had neither opposed nor registered its protest concerning  any Indian nuclear power plants.Wijewardena said there are 450 nuclear power stations in 31 countries.There have been only two disasters during the last 30 years.PTI</blockquote>
