In what is seen as revenge for India's stand against Sri Lanka at the UNHRC meet, Sri Lanka has threatened to go to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) claiming it is threatened by the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in Tamil Nadu. Colombo has said that it is concerned about safety in case of a Fukushima-like disaster that may hurt the Island nation.

The official raising of concern with the International Atomic Energy is to be made in September, the power and energy minister of Sri Lanka Champika Ranawaka said.

"We respect the right of India to have nuclear power stations. But our concerns are on the possible radiation affects they could have on Sri Lanka. We have already written a letter," Ranawaka said.

Ranawaka said Sri Lanka's concerns stem from disasters such as Chernobyl and Fukushima. Sri Lanka would work towards achieving guarantees of safety.
