Research Interest

In this paper, Neurological and psychological impact assessment (PIA) process is proposed for neurological and behavioural neuroscience and mental health for projects, plans, programs, policies and legislative actions.   Sustainable development is a kind of development that meets the needs the present without compromising the ability and efficiency of future generations to meet their own needs. The Qinshan nuclear power plant (QNPP) is a multi-unit nuclear power plant in Qinshan Town, Haiyan County, in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, China.  Psychological and Neurological Impact Assessment (NPIA) Process in Nuclear Power Plant Study (NPPS) can be defined as the systematic identification and evaluation of the potential psychological  impacts or effects of proposed nuclear power projects, plans, programs, policies or legislative actions relative to the physical-chemical, biological, radioactive , cultural and socioeconomic components of the total nuclear environment as NIA and PIA is  connected with the mind or the way that it works and connected with the study and check of the mind and the way people’s  behaviour. The author has visited QNPP during 2-5, November 2004   and proposed NIA and PIA process (Vijayan Gurumurthy Iyer, 2004).  A psychological health impact assessment (NHIA and PHIA) process is proposed for nuclear power plant project in order to address psychological health   impacts on   workers and nearby residents.   Neurology and neurological disorder impact (or effect) is addressed on workers and nearby residents.  Nuclear power plants generate electricity using heat generated in pressurized water reactors where nuclear reactions take place. During the design , construction , operation and maintenance phases of nuclear power plants which use Uranium-235, Thorium-232 and Plutonium-239 as fuels in nuclear reactors causing nuclear fission including hazardous  emission of copious amount of radiation dose due to radioactive pollution escaping out in the order of   about 120 billion Becquerel (120 GBq)   to 240 billion Becquerel (240 GBq)  that is  50 grams to 100 grams of  radiation activities , viz.,  Alpha (?), Beta (?) and Gamma (?)  radiations as  against the safe limits of  0.1 Bq /l  or Bq/kg (ppm)  polluting  land, air and water during the  operation , repair and  maintenance of  replacing  of old nuclear fuels with new fuels .   High exposures to radioactive pollution damage mental health and psychological burden on people, workers and nearby residents as severe psychological disorders including radioactive poisoning, depression and post-traumatic stress that are investigated in this paper. Psychological health impact (NIA and PHI) occurs due to radioactive pollution environment on workers and nearby residents.   Psychological health impact assessment (PHIA) on workers and nearby residents have been addressed to mitigate psychological health impact on workers and nearby residents. Nuclear power plants generate electrical power from 450 nuclear reactors in the World.  The projects related to nuclear power plants have to be necessarily addressed psychological health impacts and damages of mental health on human, animals, and plants. Nuclear safety management is the systematic identification and evaluation of potential radioactive safety requirements of proposed projects, plans, programs, plans or legislative actions. Nuclear safety personnel are responsible for overseeing the radioactive safety of all operating personnel and must be cognizant of the latest laws and regulations pertaining to worker’s safety and occupational health. These are changed and updated from time to time. Checking for Safety (CFS) such that to ensure that the question of safety will not be overlooked, it is well to have all plans, specifications and drawings, checked for safety, making special provision for this in each set of specifications and in the title plate of each drawing duly checking periodically for cranes, hoists, ventilation, lifts, tackles, fire protection systems, alarms, buildings, mechanical guarding and electrical and electronic equipment and heavy engineering equipment. Personal protective equipments (PPEs) and materials include garments, clothing, gloves, safety shoes, hard hats, safety glasses, shields, respirators, full aprons, safety belts, and other safety items have to be used by an individual.  Such equipment is important for personal protection and for safety. It is the manager’s and supervisor’s responsibility to ensure that they are properly used.  As far as occupational-disease prevention is concerned that those persons engaged in or working near operations are exposed to appreciable quantities of dusts, fumes or gas, it is important that adequate control measures must be adopted. Some major considerations involved in the application of effective and efficient control to industrial occupational disease are discussed in this paper. Some of the policies, practices, and procedures to prevent exposure of personnel to unsafe materials are also provided. As far as the worker’s compensation law is concerned, it must be enacted strictly. The principle involved is that the worker injured or disabled in industries should be enabled, through proper medical treatment, to return to wage-earning capacity as promptly as possible and while incapacitated, should receive compensation in lieu of wages, and regardless of fault. The expense of medical treatment and compensation should properly be borne by industry and become a part of the cost of its products. The laws provide that workers injured in industry shall be furnished the necessary medical treatment, and, in addition, compensation based on a percentage of their weekly wages, payable periodically. Dependants of employees kill in industry are to be compensated. Occupational diseases law provides provisions for compensation benefits in occupational – disease cases. The enactment of worker’s compensation laws and occupational disease law shall increase materially the cost of insurance to industry. The increased cost and the certainty with which it is applied will put a premium on accident-prevention work. This cost can be materially reduced by the installation of safety devices. Research experience has shown that approximately 80% of all the industrial accidents are preventable.  As far as the fire loss prevention is concerned, which is an indispensable element in industry. It exists only with top management direction and the support of labour. The designation fire protection usually encompasses the entire field of prevention of loss by fire, including both the causes for the occurrence of fires and methods for minimizing their consequence. Some of the fire standards of protection to prevent injury and loss of life are given in this paper. Fire protection engineering practices both in sustainable building design and in safe operating practices are also included. Industrial Noise safety is concerned, noise is recognized as a pollutant, both as a nuisance and as the cause of hearing impairment.  Noise cause ailment such as hearing impairment, physiological and psychological disorders including anxiety and heart disorders. Protection from noise is required when sound levels exceed noise safety standards. When protective equipment is required, it must be provided by a trained person and periodic checks are to be made of the effectively and efficiently.
