PI: 2 panelists, 1 female(1) and 1 male(2)I enter, greet and sit.
1: So what happened in GD? You started but then you went into hibernation and then came back after 5 minutes.
M: Mam, I started the GD and gave direction, it was a group discussion and it was important to listen to the views of other as well. I even concluded the GD.
1: You mentioned something about Chernobyl, what that a nuclear war?
M: At that point one of the candidates mentioned something about how nuclear war can affect the population, I talked about Chernobyl to drive home that point by showing how a small incident has led to that city being unoccupied for decades. Just imagine what a full-fledged war could do.

M: I will start with risk analysis.
1: All that is done, now what will you do, what’s your priority? Plant or people?
