It is good to hear that other countries are taking the Fukushima incident as a platform to improvise on the technology. I believe Malaysia also can join along Kenya in developing our own nuclear power plant in order to cater the future electricity demand.
In the news,it is stated that Kenya is seeking to develop a viable nuclear energy program within the next 15 years to meet its growing energy demands. A government commission formed last year is conducting a feasibility study and the University of Nairobi is setting up programs to train people for the nuclear program. Critics say they're concerned about plant worker safety and the risk of environmental contamination.
Some 86 percent of Kenyans do not have access to electricity, relying on firewood and kerosene to meet their energy needs. Electricity is expensive, and the supply is limited.
Kenya produces around 1,400 megawatts of electricity, more than half of that from hydroelectric plants.
But massive deforestation and other factors have led to decreasing rainfalls and the drying up of rivers and lakes, making hydroelectric power less of an option.

Thank you for sharing your opinion mr Umair Khaliq.I'm sorry for what has happened in Pakistan. But for now,lets put the Israel issue aside as the purpose of having this blog is to educate Malaysians and the world on accepting nuclear technology in power system development. I think it's crucial for us to have a nuclear energy power plant in Malaysia to cater for future electricity usage expansion so as minimizing the cost for long run.
ReplyDeleteI kinda agree with u both. I think that is the only reason why our former prime minister, Tun Mahathir has objected this nuclear power plant idea. We do not want to create any reason for those zionists to interfere our country's decision. But above all this, I really think Malaysia is quite a different country from those in the middle east. We are actually a multiracial country with many chinese and indians as our citizens. That wont be easy for those Zionists to interfere. But with a proper diplomacy and proper way, we can go for nuclear since our current PM has met Obama in the nuclear forum summit. I wonder what did they discuss anyway~
