MY nuke agenda
-
Questions
1.Why MY choose to forget that she has been running ''pool type reactor'' for 25 years!?
While she is going to set up Nuclear Monitoring Facility ''
to ensure that nuclear energy use in the region is only
for peaceful purposes and not for making weapons'',
MY purposely omits to mention she has a nuclear reactor
at back yard and she aims to nuclear electricity by 2020!!
2.Why MY needs 200 ha of land for Nuclear Monitoring Facility ?
Is it for the future reactor in the name of Nuclear Monitoring Facility ?
FYI,it is near a air force base.
MY nuke history and plan
3.Malaysian Nuclear Licensing Board said that plans for nuclear power after 2020 should be brought forward and two reactors built much sooner.Malaysia produced 78 billion kWh in 2003, 93% of this from fossil fuels - mostly natural gas, the balance from hydro.
3.PUSPATI TRIGA Reactor
A comprehensive energy policy study including consideration of nuclear power will be completed before 2010. The state-owned utility TNB is tentatively in favour of nuclear power and in August 2006 the Malaysian Nuclear Licensing Board said that plans for nuclear power after 2020 should be brought forward and two reactors built much sooner. This intention has since been reiterated from the Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation.
The Malaysian Institute for Nuclear Technology Research has operated a 1 MW Triga research reactor since 1982. In April 2007 MINT was renamed the Malaysian Nuclear Agency (or Nuclear Malaysia) to reflect its role in promoting the peaceful uses of atomic energy.

Malaysia To Build First Nuclear Monitoring Facility In Asean
MUADZAM SHAH, July 14 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced that Malaysia will build a Nuclear Monitoring Facility, the first of its kind in Asean, at a location in Bukit Ibam near here.
The RM100-million facility will be the 16th of its kind in the world.
"If all goes well, Malaysia will become the first developing country to have its own nuclear monitoring facility and the first in Asean," he said at a "Leaders Meet the People" function here.
Also present was Science, Technology and Innovations Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis.
Jamaluddin when met by reporters afterwards, said work on the facility on a 200-hectare site was expected to start by the end of the year and should be completed in three years.
"It will be managed by the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) and its main function is to ensure that nuclear energy use in the region is only for peaceful purposes and not for making weapons," he said.
Dr Jamaluddin said it was being built in collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) based in Vienna, Austria.
"It also will play a role to ensure Malaysia and the region continue to remain free of any nuclear threat," he said.
On the experts needed for it, Dr Jamaluddin said all would be locals and that 66 people had already been identified.
"Countries in South-East Asia have plans to build nuclear reactors to generate electricity. Indonesia will commence its nuclear energy programme in 2016, Vietnam in 2018 and Thailand in 2021.
"As such, this facility in Malaysia will help ensure there is no nuclear proliferation in the region," he added.

6.total area of existing 2 complex,which have been using for over 2o years, is only 109 ha.Why the new monitoring faciilty
need 200 ha?....Infrastructural development on the 27-hectare at Bangi commenced in January 1979,....
If MY states openly that she is also running a nuke programe and
To satisfy growing needs for additional space, a second 81-hectare, Kompleks Dengkil, site was acquired in 1984....
she will has nuke generation by 2020,i would not bother.
MY acts like nuke police in SEA .She said she have to monitor
3 countries going to have nuke generators.
But MY forget she also going to nuke generation!!! -
Nuclear monitoring? They trying to emulate America?
What if they say we have WMDS..... -_- -
They may have already got the info purchase in the nuclear black market
Just need a programme to hide it when some nuclear radiation emits out -
Well done. We should call Woodbridge and tell them we have a moron on the internet blabbering about Malaysia nuking us, and at the same time, forgetting that Johor will be hit by radioactive fallout because of their relatively primitive weapons.
Oops! -

I am very confused what MY has said and done.
Now DPM says MY NO plan to use nuclear as a source of
energy!!It contradict what i quoted here that MY will have nuke energy
by 2020.

Hydro Still Malaysia's Main Source Of Energy - Najib===GeneralKUALA LUMPUR, July 17 (Bernama) -- Hydro power is still Malaysia's main source of energy and the country has no plans to use nuclear as a source of energy, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said today.
2.At least in Nov 2006,MY has not decided this issue.
He told visiting International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director-general Mohamad ElBaradei that Malaysia proposed to use existing nuclear technology research facilities solely for research and development purposes.
"I told him hydro would be our option," said Najib, who is also Defence Minister, to reporters after meeting ElBaradei at the Defence Ministry.....(Science and Technology Minister Jamaluddin Jarjis was quoted as saying by the national news agency, Bernama).Jamaluddin said Malaysia hasn't decided whether it wants to try to use nuclear technology as an energy source, but added that it might consider doing so if gasoline prices rise too much

How about u go KL and kidnap their Prime Minister then extract the real truth from him ??? -
confusing. as far as i'm concerned hydro has never been MY main source of energy.
-
dude last time i check they use the reactor for argricultural research
-
MY used to have a 4 energy source policy ie oil, gas, hydro & coal to avoid over dependency on a single source. now it is 5 energy sources with the addition of bio based fuel. nuclear energy was never taken seriously.
-
hydro?
they have dams? i never knew. -
ofcourse.. the kenyir lake is the result of that dam. oh how i miss the fish there....
-
2.My opening post shows that 7% power from hydro.Originally posted by beavan:hydro?
they have dams? i never knew.
So DPM seems has hidden agenda!! -
7 % is from hydro and the rest is unrenewable source , nuclear power is the
only good source to cover the 93% need of energy . With limited budget and treaty when will they produce their own reactor. Better start now , even it's take 20- 30 years you still learn something through the process. At some point countries had to change to nuke for energy , nuke is the current alternative energy that can generate huge amount of power

MY is marching forward to get nuke energy!!

Are we ready for nuclear energy?--http://thestar.com.my/lifestyle/story.asp?file=/2006/12/24/lifefocus/16264142&sec=lifefocus... Malaysia hosted the 7th Forum For Nuclear Cooperation in Asia (FNCA) in the famed Teluk Cempedak beach.
The high-profile gathering saw senior government officials and top nuclear experts in the region exchanging ideas and information on the effective utilisation of nuclear science and technology.
Bangladesh, previously an observer, became the newest member of the FNCA grouping this year. The others are Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia. ..
Being an optimist,(Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis) Dr Jamaluddin was quick to scoff at the naysayers, arguing Malaysia needed to, akin to a Malay adage, “sediakan payung sebelum hujan.” (prepare the umbrella before it rains)
“We cannot afford to sit back and wait for our fossil fuels to deplete before taking action,” he reasoned.Firstly, Mint has been renamed the Malaysian Nuclear Agency in a move seen as preparing the mindset of the people towards the possibility of a policy shift in the near future.
Without divulging the cost involved, Dr Jamaluddin said plans were afoot to acquire a 20m megawatts nuclear reactor to replace the one megawatt facility in Bangi.
The ministry will be seeking a higher allocation under the 10th Malaysia Plan to develop its nuclear energy potential.
“Within the next five to seven years, we should see some results,” he said, adding that his ministry was in the midst of bringing together 66 local scientists who are PhD holders in nuclear studies to carry out R & D work in nuclear power.
Despite these developments, Malaysia still has a long way to go as a reactor of at least 1,200 megawatts is needed to kick start power generation activities. -
Treaty of the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone, December 1995
Abstract: This treaty was written in affirmation of the necessity of a Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone in order to realize the Zone of Peace, Freedom and Neutrality advocated in the 1971 ZOPFAN Declaration. It plans for the progressive undertaking of concrete action by ASEAN towards general and complete disarmament, and the upholding of the international non-proliferation system. This treaty allows for nuclear energy to be used for peaceful purposes – particularly economic development and social progress – on condition of conformity to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) guidelines and standards.
These Basic Undertakings, to be binding both inside and outside the Zone, are indicative of the emphasis being placed on establishing shared norms (in this case, of anti-nuclearization) among ASEAN states, not merely common action.
A number of mechanisms have been put in place to enforce the implementation of the treaty, including allowances for information exchange, clarification and fact-finding missions, as well as a system of controls and safeguards. Cooperation with international organizations is encouraged to facilitate the enforcement of the treaty. The treaty is to remain in force indefinitely, and any partyÂ’s breach of it will give other States the right to withdraw from it.

at the Fifth ASEAN Summit in Bangkok, on 15 December 1995. Of the ten countries that signed the SEANWFZ Treaty, Brunei Darussalam was represented by H.R.H. Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, Indonesia by President Soeharto, the Kingdom of Cambodia by both of its power-sharing Prime Ministers, viz, its First Prime Minister HRH Prince Norodom Ranaridh, and Second Prime Minister Hun Sen, the Lao People's Democratic Republic by Prime Minister Khamtay Siphandone, Malaysia by Prime Minister Dato' Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, the Union of Myanmar by its Chairman of the State Law and Order Restoration Council and Prime Minister, General Than Shwe, the Republic of the Philippines by President Fidel V. Ramos, the Republic of Singapore by Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, the Kingdom of Thailand by Prime Minister Banharn Silpa-Archa, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam by Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet.
As provided for in Article 16 of the SEANWFZ Treaty, it entered into force on 27 March 1997, upon the deposit of the instrument of ratification of the seventh ratifying State, by Cambodia. Malaysia deposited its instrument of ratification in 1996, and, to date, all of the signatory States have ratified the SEANWFZ Treaty, with the exception of the Philippines. -
Following its entry into force on 27 March 1997, a Commission responsible for overseeing the implementation of the SEANWFZ Treaty, and ensuring compliance with its provisions, was established in pursuant to Article 8 of the Treaty. The Commission, composed of the Foreign Ministers of each State Party, is assisted by the Executive Committee, which is a subsidiary organ established under Article 9 of the Treaty and composed of senior officials of each State Party.
The inaugural meeting of the SEANWFZ Commission was held in Singapore on 24 July 1999, in conjunction with the 32nd ASEAN Ministerial Meeting. In that inaugural meeting, the Commission directed its Executive Committee to prepare the draft rules of procedure, and to initiate all necessary actions to ensure compliance with the Treaty, including consultations with the nuclear weapon States, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and other related bodies. -
but a treaty is just a paper... its worth is measured by the integrity, honor and trustworthiness of the parties involved..... which in the case of malaysia... they score rock bottom low on all 3.

The nuke issue seems contradict .
Sometimes MY to get nuke power plant by 2020.
On the other times,MY says she has no plan to build
nuke plant and will rely on hydro power.
But the study of future energy will only be completed by 2010!!
2.July 18, 2007 18:39 PM ,Energy: Malaysia Faces Complex Choices, Says IAEA ChiefKUALA LUMPUR, July 18 (Bernama) -- Like many countries, Malaysia faced complex choices in planning to expand its energy mix and ensuring energy security, said International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General Dr Mohamed ElBaradei.
3.Malaysia to build Southeast Asia nuclear monitoring lab - report,
He said in Malaysia, more than 90 per cent of its electricity was generated from fossil fuels, primarily natural gas from domestic reserves with the balance supplied by hydropower and other sources.
But with natural gas reserves decreasing and electricity demand continuing to rise, Malaysia had begun looking at other possibilities to ensure its future energy security, he said.
"At the IAEA, we stand ready to assist you (Malaysia) in finding solutions (to energy needs) that best suit your needs and priorities," he said in his public lecture on "Nuclear Power :Looking to the Future" here.
ElBaradei said that for Malaysia, a comprehensive energy policy study including consideration of nuclear power is to be completed by 2010.
According to ElBaradei, nuclear energy alone was not a panacea, but it was likely in the future to have an increasing role as part of the global energy mix.
He said the need to ensure adequate and reliable energy supplies was directly relevant to development and to national and international security.
On Malaysia-IAEA partnership, ElBaradei said Malaysia had been a strong and supportive partner of the IAEA and Kuala Lumpur was also a party to the Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT) with a comprehensive safeguards agreement in force and in November 2005, Malaysia signed the additional protocol to its safeguards agreement.
He said the IAEA had a large and active technical cooperation (TC) programme in Malaysia, citing as an example the United Nations agency's support for the use of isotope hydrology in Malaysia to combat groundwater contamination in industrial sites.
"We are also supporting the establishment of a Malaysian cyclotron facility for radioisotope production. The most recent such development was the establishment of a laboratory for the application of radiation in nanotechnology," he said.
The lecture was organised by the Academy of Sciences Malaysia as part of the National Nobel Laureates Programme. In 2005, the Egyptian-born ElBaradei and the IAEA were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

www.XinhuaFinance.com,pixel,KUALA LUMPUR (Thomson Financial)Malaysia will build Southeast Asia's first nuclear monitoring laboratory to allow scientists check the safety of atomic energy programs in the region, a report said Sunday.
The 26-million-US-dollar facility would be built in central Pahang state and be operational in three years' time, the Sunday Star newspaper reported.
Science, technology and innovation minister Jamaludin Jarjis said the laboratory would be the first in Southeast Asia.
Malaysia has 66 scientists in nuclear-related subjects and many of them are involved in work with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), he said.
Jamaludin said the government agreed to implement the project following recommendations by the UN nuclear watchdog since none of the developing countries in the region had such a facility.
Jamaludin said among the functions of the laboratory were to ensure that the region was free of nuclear weapons and to provide services for countries that needed to check whether their nuclear-powered facilities were safe.
The move follows plans by neighboring Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand to develop atomic energy programs and hence there was a need to have a monitoring laboratory, he said.
Jamaludin said IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei would visit Malaysia on July 17.
