POLICY DIRECTION & DECISIONS ON NUCLEAR POWER

CABINET DECISION ON 26TH JUNE 2009:

for nuclear energy to be one of fuel options for electricity generation post-2020, for the Peninsula;

10TH MALAYSIA PLAN UNVEILED IN PARLIAMENT ON 10TH JUNE 2010:

New National Energy Policy consisting of the following 4 pillars:

•Increasing & diversifying generation capacity: hydro, importation of coal & LNG and to explore super-critical coal technology •Nuclear energy as a longer term option for Peninsular Malaysia - to implement detailed feasibility study, training of human capital and awareness campaigns. •Strengthening transmission & distribution networks; •Restructure of electricity industry and Improve customer service delivery.

ETP - NKEA RECOMMENDATION 17TH AUGUST 2010:Entry Point Project (EPP

•Implementation of a twin-unit NPP for commissioning in 2021 & 2022 MARCH 2011 – Formation of Malaysia Nuclear Power Corporation (MNPC) as NEPIO

Parliament: 02.10.12

o Prepare Nuclear Power Infrastructure Development Plan (NPIDP)

– to assess Malaysia’s STATE of READINESS and take

appropriate actions to be “NUCLEAR READY”. Status &

Progress regularly reviewed together with the IAEA assistance

o Site Evaluation to QUALIFY SAFETY to build NPP on Identified

Sites in Peninsular Malaysia and after comprehensive analysis

on 1 selected site to initiate NPP Site License application

o Feasibility Study will be carried out on the “final” selected NPP

site including LESSONS LEARNED from Fukushima as well as

the Reactor Technology options

o Finally, the Bid Document will be the basis to invite potential turn-

NPP vendors to bid if a NATIONAL decision is taken to proceed

with the 1st NPP project or “GO NUCLEAR”


The Implementation Charter for the Entry Point

Project on nuclear power development under

OGE sector of ETP – Nuclear Malaysia as A

Technical Support Organisation (TSO)

NUCLEAR MALAYSIA in THE ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMME (ETP)



TSO IN GENERAL– DEFINITION & ROLES

TSO is a technical and scientific support organization that

provides support concerning nuclear and radiation safety issues to

the national regulatory authority (NRA), operator and/or to the

operator/nuclear industry.

The definitions of TSO varies from country to country

To differentiate - different names such as TSO for TSO of NRA

and Design Authority for TSO of Operator. (IAEA)

TSO that provides services to NRA “should not” serve the

Operator.

Short term solution will include the option of getting

international TSOs for the first NPP.

Fore-sighting the future, to serve both NRA & Operator,

organizational restructuring may be required to avoid conflict of

interest.

PROPOSED DETAILED TIMELINE FOR NUCLEAR POWER DEPLOYMENT – MALAYSIAN PERSPECTIVE



Support Regulatory Body (RB) to regulate and monitor Nuclear Power Plant (NPP)

operator for observance on nuclear safety.

Support NPP operator for all issues as, in one (1) but, additionally, suggest

solutions to the problems .

Provide support to local industry that serve NPP Operation & Maintenance

(O&M).



Develop new technologies to support NPP industry and develop local

industrial capabilities.

Provide expertise and advice to government during planning,

construction, O&M, decommissioning and waste management.

Conduct R&D as well as localization in NPP and Nuclear Technology



Assist authorities in public acceptance

Facilitate Transfer of Technology through international collaborations, ‘off-set’ project as part of procurement, etc.

Responsible for the management and R&D in waste management to include siting, evaluation, R&D in deep geological disposal technology, risk and safety assessment, long term surveillance and monitoring of disposal facilities, etc.

TSO CHALLENGES – NUCLEAR MALAYSIA

PERSPECTIVES

No renown nuclear power technology expert/scientist

Aging and retirement of experience nuclear scientist

Post Fukushima: safety aspects & public acceptance issue

Still waiting for Clear decision on NPP

Mode of project implementation BOO, BOT, BOM, B&T

-After 9/11 – New control regime on technology transfer

especially nuclear and other sensitive technology

Global economy outlook – impact in securing funding for

HRD and R&D

Need of and necessity of local TSO – UAE case



Very important/critical issue - public acceptance

Before fukushima

AFTER fukushima

Public is more concerned and interested

to know more about SAFETY
