"We know that nuclear technology is a clean and safe technology which had been developed over 50 years ago. Besides, it does not release the greenhouse gas effects,"
Several other aspects should also be made clear to the public, especially in terms of technology, safety and the disposal of nuclear waste, before the plan to use nuclear to generate electricity was to be implemented in Malaysia.
"In view of the current renewed interest on the utilisation of nuclear energy for electricity generation for long-term national energy security and sustainable development, Nuclear Malaysia has placed greater emphasis on nuclear energy in its public information efforts, without neglecting the non-power applications of nuclear technology in various socio-economic sectors.
"These sectors include the agriculture and biotechnology, medicine and healthcare, environmental and natural resource management, research and development, and education and training,"
Members of the public who are interested to learn more about nuclear power are welcome to visit the Nuclear Malaysia Complex in Bangi, Selangor or its website at www.nuclearmalaysia.gov.my.
