Brief Introduction:
 Nuclear energy: a clean and safe in a long term effects,
promote the economic development.
 Malaysia in 2020 will face a shortage of natural resources,

especially gas
 In 2008: economic crisis as a result of increasing oil price
 Malaysia now is also a net importer of oil
 As a result, Nuclear power plant will be constructed in

2020 as it benefits on economic, environment, and society.

Economic:
1. Employment:
Average 2 400 staffs for construction purpose
A long-term staff account for 400-800

Requirement skills: Engineering, chemist, IT

specialist, Administrative, etc.

Economic:
2. Effective and Efficiency
Uranium: easily transferable and affordable
Cost of power generated from nuclear power plant.

World Nuclear Association found: on average the
electricity price by nuclear is 2.40c/kWh, 3.27cents for
electricity generated by coal, and 3.40 cents by gas.
Less sensitive in price fluctuation; in which only 0.2%
of overall production cost is due to the cost of
Uranium.

Economic
 Compared with coal, 100MW power plant requires

2,ooo,ooo metric tons of coal, but only 30 metric tons
of Uranium.
Beside, it also stocks 100 tons of fuel to run for 3 years.
Not subject to the climate change or weather
fluctuation
 Other forms of alternative power also not compatible
with Malaysia peninsular, including solar and wind
energy.

Environment
1. Air Pollution Standard:
 A clean and safe energy which was called the most
eco-efficient as it have little negative impact on
environment.
 Emit the smoke-like gas: not dangerous or harmful;
especially, not release the harmful chemical element
such as NO, SO, “emission-free energy source.”
 Example is the United State can prevent 681.99 million

metric tons of CO2 in 2005

Environment
2. Habitat for spices and human
 the areas around the plant and its cooling ponds are
clean and safe
Water discharged from Nuclear plants is no contact
with radioactive, contains no harmful pollutant, meet
with temperature standard.
 its cooling ponds enables spices to live
 Even nuclear plant requires quite a lot lands, but if
compared to that of solar and wind power, it is
relatively small: 1000MW plan, 35 000 acres for solar,
at least 150 000 acres for wind power; whereas, only
500 acres for 1900MW power plant.

Environment
3. Waste
 Advantage of small in quantity
Can buried deep in the ground

Citizens will get more Informed on the
uses of Nuclear Energy

THE BENEFITS OF NUCLEAR POWER
PLANT ON SOCIETY
1. Lower Cost of Electricity
 Low Cost of Raw Materials
Uranium

One uranium fuel pellet-the size of the tip of your little finger-is
the equivalent of 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas, 1,780 pounds
of coal, or 149 gallons of oil

2. Lower the Cost of Electricity
 Produce A Lot Of Energy

 Stable Price
-Uranium is used for long period
-Power Plants can run about 540 days before they
are shut down for refueling

3. Motivation to people
 Modern and High-Technology
 Malaysia is not weak
 People work harder
 Feel more loyalty to their Nation
