The Malaysian Nuclear Agency never reviews nuclear power as an option to meet the increasing demands of energy in Malaysia. [1] There is a need to build a nuclear power generation plant, with plans still in the feasibility stage. [2]
The reactor use enriched uranium and zirconium-hydride (U-ZrH1.6) as its solid fuel elements, while distillation water serves as a neutron coolant and moderator, and graphite serves as a neutron reflector. TRIGA PUSPATI is also the first and only nuclear reactor in Malaysia. [3] [4]
Apsara reactor – Asia's first nuclear reactor. 1 MW, pool type, light water moderated, enriched uranium fuel supplied by France; CIRUS reactor – 40 MW, supplied by Canada, heavy water moderated, uses natural uranium fuel; Dhruva reactor – 100 MW, heavy water moderated, uses natural uranium fuel; Purnima series
The Department of Atomic Energy Malaysia (Atom Malaysia), or formerly known as Atomic Energy Licensing Board or in Malay known as Lembaga Perlesenan Tenaga Atom (AELB), is a government agency under the Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation (MOSTI) that is responsible for the regulation of atomic energy activities in Malaysia as stipulated in the Atomic Energy Licensing Act 1984 (Act 304).
Among them, Italy closed all of its nuclear stations by 1990 and nuclear power has since been discontinued because of the 1987 referendums. Lithuania closed its nuclear station at 2009, because of the dangerous RBMK reactor type. Kazakhstan phased out nuclear power in 1999 but is planning to reintroduce it possibly by 2035 under referendum. [4]
But the partial meltdown of TMI-2, the second reactor on the site, was the most serious nuclear accident in the history of U.S. commercial nuclear power. The reactor core overheated when its feed ...
The Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant under construction (now halted) This table lists stations under construction stations without any reactor in service. Planned connection column indicates the connection of the first reactor, not thus whole capacity.
The privately funded, advanced nuclear engineering company will invest $100 million and create 55 jobs to deploy the reactor at the East Tennessee Technology Park.
