1.0 220 MW Madras Atomic Power Station Unit No.1 (MAPS 1) suffered a forced outage on 8 January 2018 at 17:23 UTC and service was restored on 22 January 2018 at 15:16 hrs UTC. The unit again suffered a forced outage on 30 January 2018 at 11hrs UTC. It is shutdown since. What are the technical issues facing the unit? By default, the unit is shut down as required also by the Precautionary Principle so that people can make their own research. 

2.0 Study of the Role of World Dam Dynamics regarding the technical issues faced by Unit No. 1.

2.1 On 23 January 2018, at 09:31:40 UTC, a 7.9 MM moment magnitude major shallow earthquake struck Alaska due to World Dam Dynamics: See Figure 1:

2.2 Glaring Lacuna in design of reactors


2.2.1 See excel link MAPS 1 outage at the top left hand corner: The shock at its peak lasted at least 20 seconds. The sudden peak acceleration vertically downwards on MAPS 1 of 440693 g’s due to the force applied by the sudden change of 44 BCM in the dam contents taken together worldwide acting through their centre of gravity at latitude 24, longitude 97 may have lasted sufficiently on MAPS Unit No 1 to cause damage to the reactor, associated tubes and equipment. Note that 44 BCM sudden dam content change is a suddenly applied shock water column pressure of 5 million times the height of Mt Everest which is 8848.86m amsl! For an estimate of the average world dam dynamics that acted on unit 1 between 22 January 2018 when the unit came back into service from forced outage to 30 January 2018 when it again suffered a forced outage, see Table 1 below:





2.2.2  There were a record number of aftershocks and strong earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 6.3 MM to 6.6 MM during this period, all of which may have contributed to the technical issues faced by the unit. The average temperature suffered by the unit every 3.25 minutes for the total period of 203 hours from 22nd January to 30th January was a shocking 1.4 million degrees Kelvin! The average acceleration suffered by the unit during this period was 132 g’s! The design prima facie did not envisage these momentary  flash forces persisting in this way. One must examine Unit 2 also for effects. Note in this connection that for a 9 MM magnitude earthquake Fukushima Daichi suffered a triple core melt and staggering explosions. The reactors in India at least are not designed for Forces and Water Moments applied by the entire World’s dam forces which act in concert from instant to instant. The maximum vertical acceleration for which MAPS 1 is designed according to published reports is three orders of magnitude fold  less than the 132 g’s estimated in Table 1. As for the Zr-2.5Nb zirconium alloy nuclear grade, the meltimg point is 1840 degrees Centigrade and the boiling point is 4380 degrees Centigrade. Compare this with the average shock input temperature given by worldwide dam content data of 1.4 million degrees Centigrade! Applying the precautionary principle all reactors must be shut down and the glaring lacuna in reactor design thoroughly re-examined. The data estimates for the 8 January 2018 forced shutdown of this unit as well as for the massive leak at MAPS 1 on 9 May 2017 are similar. They are common to the antecedents of such phenomenon observed in other PHWRs in India as well. Note that therefore prima facie the en masse retubing  of such reactors is futile because of the glaring lacuna in design.

2.2.3 Forced outage of 1000 MW Kudankulam Unit No 1 on 20 August 2023 at 00:49 UTC due to World Dam Dynamics. It was revived on 30 August 2023 at 654h utc. The unit 1 suffered forced outage on 31 August 2023 at 21:57 h UTC  to attend to HPC control valve malfunction. Expected revival on 5 September 2023. Now, the Southern Regional Load Dispatch Centre daily outage report for 5 September 2023 has postponed the revival date to 6 September 2023. Unit No. 1 was revived at 21:53 UTC on 6 September 2023.

2.2.3.1 Applying the Precautionary Principle, analysis of the forced outage of the unit No.1 leads to World Dam Dynamics as the root cause. This is because of the common antecedent to both the MAPS 1 outage and this is World Dam Dynamics. The Southern Regional Load Despatch Centre(SRLDC) outage report for  August 2023 ascribed the immediate cause to Steam Generator control valve malfunction in its report of 20th August 2023 and then on 22 August 2023 to malfunction of feed water controller and that the  expected revival date as 28 August 2023. See the similarity and the enormous criticality of this occurrence at Reference 2.

2.2.4 The effect of World Dam Dynamics on Kudankulam Unit No. 1.

Similar analysis as was done for MAPS 1 shows the following effects:

2.2.4.1 About one and a half hours prior to the forced outage a worldwide dam content change of 0.014327 BCM acting through the centre of gravity of the world’s dams caused a suddenly applied water pressure head of 1619.19 fold the Mt. Everest elevation of 8848 m.

2.2.4.2 Analysing the dam content changes worldwide using the world’s dam caused earthquakes as proxy from 1 August 2023 to 22 August 2023 shows the unit was prima facie subjected to a mean suddenly applied shock temperature input of 9915 degrees Kelvin with a maximum of 10 to 11 million degrees Kelvin on 16 August 2023 when a dam content change of 0.37 BCM caused a suddenly applied water pressure head of 41900 fold the Mt Everest elevation of 8848m. Simultaneously almost a vertical acceleration push of 816 g’s was applied by world Dam Dynamics on the Unit.No.1 PWR reactor system at Kudankulam. The effect on the Steam generator flow and level and on the feedwater controller would be enormous instantaneously applied forces beyond the design basis (Reference 2).

2.2.5  What the designers in modern civilization’s society of specialists look for is the earthquake maximum that would ever appear at the site! Look at the earthquake pattern at the Indian craton in Figure 1 above and see a blank picture below the Himalayas. This is not what one should be looking for in the dam era! It is the continual shock input temperatures and the shock vertical ground movements every 3 to 4 minutes in the area caused by dam caused earthquakes throughout the world and their total effect on the area’s ecology from instant to instant!

The concern is paramount for the Combined Forces Chief of Staff and the Government. The world's dams are threatening the security of the country. Not a moment too soon must they place this situation before the public for immediate consideration coupled with plans of action to succeed.

3.  The effects of World Dam Dynamics have proliferated cancerously across the whole of modern  modern civilization and we must listen to nature as it reacts to relegate humans to fossil records(1).

Mainstream media must report both sides of the issue by painstaking efforts to read blogs and pick up the truth. The IPCC is clinging to false knowledge. 92 percent of climate change is due to dams and only 8 percent due to emissions. Remove the dams, the non living slaves of gravity and replace them simultaneously with living beings called forests by allowing them to regenerate aided by worldwide people's cooperation for analogous diverse reforestation including pastures. Modern Civilization is making its own designs invalid for living. To see how forests meet our water needs infinitely superior to dams See all the articles in Ramaswami Ashok Kumar.
