Government not yet ready to commit to nuclear energy development
By Donnabelle Gatdula and Jess Diaz
The government has not made any commitment on nuclear energy development despite its invitation for officials of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to evaluate the feasibility of commissioning the mothballed Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP), Energy Secretary Angelo Reyes said on Monday.
“I’m not ready to commit on anything other than studying it – which is vast and fast moving,” Reyes said.
He said the IAEA officials arrived in the country last Monday only to evaluate the government’s plan to revive its nuclear program, including rehabilitating the BNPP.
