The '''People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy''' is an [[anti-nuclear]] power group in [[Tamil Nadu, India]], founded by [[S. P. Udayakumar]]. Since September 2011 the aim of the group is to close the [[Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant]] site and to preserve the largely untouched coastal landscape, as well as educate locals about [[nuclear power]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-radio-and-tv-15835060 |title= India faces people power against nuclear power |first=Nidhi |last=Dutt |date=22 November 2011 |work=BBC News}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://thebulletin.org/web-edition/op-eds/nuclear-power-vs-people-power |title=Nuclear power vs. people power |first=Raminder |last=Kaur |date=9 July 2012 |work=Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists }}</ref><br />
