Mr. Venkat- Thank you for your question. Nuclear technology in those days was new. After such type of incidents, the technology was developed and implementing in operating plants so that design of the nuclear reactors will be modified accordingly. Normally technology will be developed based on lesson leant from operating nuclear power plants and operating experience with incidents only.
