REPORTAGE - Indien: Nuclear Wasteland
Jadugoda, Jharkhand, India -
Nuclear Wasteland
All of India's uranium comes from a few miles around Jadugoda, a tribal district of East Singbhum, the site of the oldest uranium mine in the country. Jadugoda is estimated to have more than a third of India's total mineral wealth. For years, the local population has suffered from the extensive environmental degradation caused by mining operations, responsible for the high frequency of radiation related sicknesses and developmental disorders found in the area. Increases in miscarriages, impotency, infant mortality, Down's syndrome, skeletal deformities, thalassemia have been reported. With raw radioactive 'yellow-cake' production to increase and more than 100,000 tons of radio-active waste stored at Jadugoda the threat to the local tribal communities is set to continue.
The Nuclear Graveyard, documents the devastating effects of uranium mining in Jadugoda, a small town in the eastern state of Jharkhand, which poses a serious threat to the environment and the local tribal communities. With the close proximity of the uranium mines, tailing dams and uranium waste, the people in and around Jadugoda are exposed to high levels of nuclear radiation.¨ÜConsequently, they have been suffering from serious diseases
Radiation and health experts across the world charge that toxic materials and radioactivity released by the uranium mining and processing operations are causing widespread infertility, congenital deformities, spontaneous abortions, genetic mutation, death of newborns, cancer, lung diseases
More than a hundred thousand tons of nuclear waste stored in the tailing ponds is constantly producing large amount of toxic gases and nuclear radiation that contaminate the environment. The dumped nuclear waste remains radioactive and dangerous for millions of years.

Jadugoda is estimated to have more than a third of India's total mineral wealth. For years, the local population has suffered from the extensive environmental degradation caused by mining operations, responsible for the high frequency of radiation related sicknesses and developmental disorders found in the area. Increases in miscarriages, impotency, infant mortality, Down's syndrome, skeletal deformities, thalassemia have been reported. With raw radioactive 'yellow-cake' production to increase and more than 100,000 tons of radio-active waste stored at Jadugoda the threat to the local tribal communities is set to continue.
The Nuclear Graveyard, documents the devastating effects of uranium mining in Jadugoda, a small town in the eastern state of Jharkhand, which poses a serious threat to the environment and the local tribal communities. With the close proximity of the uranium mines, tailing dams and uranium waste, the people in and around Jadugoda are exposed to high levels of nuclear radiation.¨ÜConsequently, they have been suffering from serious diseases
Radiation and health experts across the world charge that toxic materials and radioactivity released by the uranium mining and processing operations are causing widespread infertility, congenital deformities, spontaneous abortions, genetic mutation, death of newborns, cancer, lung diseases
More than a hundred thousand tons of nuclear waste stored in the tailing ponds is constantly producing large amount of toxic gases and nuclear radiation that contaminate the environment. The dumped nuclear waste remains radioactive and dangerous for millions of years.

Inside Billionaires Row: London's rotting, derelict mansions worth £350m The North London street where billionaires can buy homes, never live in them, let them rot and still make millions
The Bishops Ave houses that were bought by the Saudi Royal family in the 90's and have been now sold. The house has never been lived in and has been left to rot.
Pictured is ' Georgians' on The Bishops Ave.
A third of the mansions on the most expensive stretch of London's 'Billionaires Row' are standing empty, including several huge houses that have fallen into ruin after standing almost completely vacant for a quarter of a century.
An investigation has revealed there are an estimated £350m worth of vacant properties on the most prestigious stretch of The Bishops Avenue in north London, which last year was ranked as the second most expensive street in Britain.
The empty buildings include a row of 10 mansions worth £73m which have stood largely unused since they were bought between 1989 and 1993, it is believed on behalf of members of the Saudi royal family.
Exclusive access to now derelict properties has revealed that their condition is so poor in some cases that water streams down ballroom walls, ferns grow out of floors strewn with rubble from collapsed ceilings, and pigeon and owl skeletons lie scattered across rotting carpets.

The Bishops Ave houses that were bought by the Saudi Royal family in the 90's and have been now sold. The house has never been lived in and has been left to rot.
Pictured is ' Redcroft' on The Bishops Ave.
A third of the mansions on the most expensive stretch of London's 'Billionaires Row' are standing empty, including several huge houses that have fallen into ruin after standing almost completely vacant for a quarter of a century.
An investigation has revealed there are an estimated £350m worth of vacant properties on the most prestigious stretch of The Bishops Avenue in north London, which last year was ranked as the second most expensive street in Britain.
The empty buildings include a row of 10 mansions worth £73m which have stood largely unused since they were bought between 1989 and 1993, it is believed on behalf of members of the Saudi royal family.
Exclusive access to now derelict properties has revealed that their condition is so poor in some cases that water streams down ballroom walls, ferns grow out of floors strewn with rubble from collapsed ceilings, and pigeon and owl skeletons lie scattered across rotting carpets.
