Objectives of presentation



Current National Energy Policy

The objectives of 1979 National Energy Policy;

[1]. Supply – To assure adequate, secure and cost-effective supply of

energy;

[2]. Utilisation – To promote efficient utilisation of energy & discourage

wasteful and non-productive patterns of energy consumption; and;

[3]. Environment – To ensure factor pertaining to environment protection are

not neglected in production & utilisation of energy.

Energy sources determined by Fuel Diversification Policies

[1]. 1981 – Four-Fuel Diversification Policy

To reduce over-dependence on single fuel source

To focus on four main sources of fuel; oil,hdyro,natural gas and coal

[2]. 2000 – Five-Fuel Diversification Policy

To incorporate renewable energy as a fifth fuel

To expand fuel sources to comprise oil, hydro,gas,coal and

renewable energy


Malaysia Comprises of Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak

and Sabah.

•Malaysia Peninsular contributes to 40% of land area (about

132K sq.km), these areas are divided into 11 States &

Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya with 80%

of national population.

•Sarawak and Sabah contributes to about 60% of land area

(about 199K sq.km), but there is only 20% of national

population.

Is it suitable for SMR NPP to be developed in Sabah and Sarawak due to

its small grid and the availability of renewable energy from hydro power?



The seismic activity in

Southeast Asia (1964 to

2000) based on hazard

model indicates that

Peninsular Malaysia and

Sarawak are located

within the low

earthquake risk zone.

Collaboration Planning So Far

NM-UNITEN Collaboration – BSc with NE Electives

NM-UTHM Collaboration – MSc in NE

NM- UTM Proposed Collaboration – MSc in Nuclear Physics

NM-USM/UKM PGEC in Radiation Protection and Safety??

NM-UIAM??

Continuous MSc/PhD Student Joint R&D through RIG, etc




Issues and Challenges Uncertainty in Market for NE/Nuclear Physics, etc

graduates…awaiting MNPC/Government Decision on NPP

National Nuclear Policy Action Plans….?

Integration/Consortium vs Individual Universities…Thinning of Resources

Partially Inexperienced Lecturers (Especially on NE) and NPP R&D

Still lack of critical mass (700-800 professionals?)

Partially Inadequate Laboratories for NPP R&D, etc

Accreditation/Quality/Recognition (global market?)




Proposed Mitigation Measures Long Term Nuclear Energy R&D and University roles/

Roadmaps based on National Nuclear Policy (both for NPP and NTP) to be established and implemented by endorsement at highest level

NM Laboratory infrastructure to be shared, upgraded and funded

Pooling of Resources (Lecturers, Researchers, etc), Foreign Experts Collaborations

Target Specific Market: Enhancing Existing NM staff, Univ. Lecturers, AELB

Diversify the Graduates: e.g. NPP, Nuclear Technology – Plant Design, Medical Equipments and Facility Design, Industrial Plant Design, Waste Management,…




Proposed Mitigation Measures

Combine the Course: Pure NE, NE with Radiation Technology, NE with RE, etc

Consortium Universities-NM integration, upgrade NM

Critical Areas To be Maintained and be Part of Policy (Nuclear Physics, Eng and Safety…..Expand NM, AELB Manpower)

Global Market (UAE, Vietnam, etc) for our graduates

Collaborations with IAEA, Multilateral and Bilateral International, Professional Bodies (eg Welding Institute..)

Teaching Modules Accreditation by International Bodies/MQA/BEM, MBOT, etc




Concluding remarks

The Role of NM as TSO for Education is Clear and Referenced Based on International Practices

Preparation Towards Serving Such a Role in Place through existing infra and collaboration with local universities and other RIs.

Although Issues and Constraints Exists, with Sharing of Resources and Integrated Efforts, International Collaborations, Long Term Government Commitments, etc, it is possible to produce the required manpower needed for NPP and NTP, both for short and long terms

Nuclear HRD is the way forward for nuclear sustainability and Excellence
