Nowadays, the nuclear energy is the greenest energy in the Earth. It is greener as we compared with the other power generating plant in Malaysia. Other construction of power plant is using high amount of concrete to build the structure. As we know, concrete will release high amount of carbon dioxide in the air. For example, now we have under construction Bakun Dam located at Sungai Balui Sarawak. This dam will be the tallest concrete dam in the world and becoming one of the largest dams in Asia. The dam has about 16.71 million cubic meters of filled volume and catchment area about 14,750 km square. The gross storage capacity is 43,800 million cubic meters. Can you imagine how much concrete is required to build this dam? How much carbon dioxide will be released by the concrete? How much environmental creatures need to be sacrificed with that large amount of catchment area? Absolutely, having the nuclear power plant is A GREAT IDEA.
As we can see from TNB itself, but not from political view, TNB actually not completely produce the electricity itself. TNB also depends to the other producer such as IPP (Independent Power Plant). The IPP is owned by individual party such as Tan Sri Al-Bukhary, Vincent Tan and so forth. Because of that, TNB need to buy the electricity from them, then TNB sell to us. We can see that, the price of electricity is indirectly depends from other producer. Then Malaysian life will be affected with the rise of fuel cost and operation cost of IPP. As an alternative, the nuclear energy is more profitable than other energy production. This could help to reduce the electricity cost and the Malaysian should think about it. Absolutely, having the nuclear power plant is A GREAT IDEA
Hello.
ReplyDeletei want to ask your opinion.
due to the current Malaysia technology development, can they manage the nuclear waste to ensure the waste will not cause harm to the citizen?
thanks.

Sure we can.For example,we have Malaysian Nuclear Agency. The radioactive waste from lab,UKM pharmacy,etc have been managed by this agency.Although the waste from lab can be considered as light waste,but they managed to to do it with excellent track record more than decade.For nuclear power plant waste,we are working on that.I will explain about nuclear waste management in my next post.For your information,currently we have an expert to handle the nuclear program.In the next 20 or 30 years,currently we are preparing in ALL aspects to welcome our first nuclear power plant.
ReplyDeletecost for built nuclear power plant is very high, in addition the maintainance also cost very high. does it very expense than current power plant?? if yes , hw about our electric bills..???

Beside waste products,the main concern about building nuclear power plant in our neighborhood, is the nuclear source. These reactors are using uranium

Currenly the gas and coal prices shot through the roof.And it will even increase in future. The volatile price of those commodities has raised concerns over Malaysia’s ability to secure enough fuel supply that would also help to keep electricity prices at a reasonable level.So i guess its the time for all of us to show the green light to the nuclear power plant to solve this problem.thanks( VIMALAN A/l GENASAN vimalan_12@yahoo.com )
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteNow moving towards to modern country and year by year the popoulation of Malaysia citizen increasing. The source like coal and natural gas likely to be finish in few years time,so we need something to ensure sufficient energy. TNB finally realized this matter and they should make decision to build a nuclear plant to ensure the electricity in our country. Even Malaysia still have to do lots of research about nuclear,but in the end,it is a good choice and give lots of benefits.

hye,
ReplyDeleteizit the nuclear power plant will be under TNB when the goverment start to make a decision to built it.

We all know that something has to be done about climate change, and most of us agree that we should all be part of the solution. But how many of us are willing to have climate change solutions right on our doorstep?
