New Delhi: Delhi University and Atomic Energy Regulatory Board on Saturday rejected claims that 20 kg of uranium was "dumped" inside the campus a few years back and ruled out fears about safety of radioactive materials in its laboratories.
In a hurriedly convened press conference, its Vice Chancellor Deepak Pental termed it as wrong that 20 kg of uranium was buried in the campus as claimed by a terminated professor.
"This is wrong. If 20 kg of uranium was dumped somewhere in the campus, it would not have been possible for us to sit here," he told reporters.
Pental claimed that Prof Ramesh Chandra, who made these allegations, "could have done this to settle personal score as he has been terminated from the service for financial irregularities."
AERB scientist Dr Raju Kumar said that there was no evidence about radioactive material being dumped inside the campus.
