Is the Philippines ready for Nuclear Power?

[malinkelly]

i think magiging ready tayo if ipapaliwanag sa atin ng mabuti ang all about Nuclear Power, and kung makikinig lang sin tayp ng maigi..

Nuclear Power is ok with me. But being managed by Pinoys.....I could only remember Ondoy

Is the Philippines ready for Nuclear Power? - yes. meron tayo nuclear facility sa QC.

[Monseratto]

If the facility is to be handled by a private company (huwag lang mga lopezes), Oks na yan. Pero ibang usapan pag gobyerno ang humawak.

nice thread about the bataan nuclear plant

A few months ago I was invited by Philippine Congressman *markcojuangco to see something few have ever seen: a nuclear plant frozen in time, completed including a trained operating staff, but never turned on.

I couldn't say yes fast enough. Here are some pictures, with captions.

Timing Lang iyong topic na sinagot ko kahapon Dito Kasi kagabi I was in a gathering w/c included a gentleman who works intimately in the halls of the senate. so i decided to ask him if there were any news in the senate about the loose talk that the bnp will be possibly revived by Marcos jr.

So to make a long story short, the answer I got was Malabo daw since the majority of the residents of Bataan province are vociferously against the nuclear power plant's reopening. Another thing he Pointed out was rebooting /retooling it is just too expensive since the technology used there is obsolete already. But the thing is , there are countries still using the very same 46 year old tech the bnp similarly has to this day.

The plan that's been gaining traction is to instead construct small modular reactors in several key locales. I was told it's more efficient, less costly to maintain , and it has a lower carbon footprint.

Anyhow, the interesting conversation was fueled by scotch and beer so baka may mga hyperbole and stuff kaya take it w/ a grain of salt. [emoji16]
