Currently, Malaysia has no nuclear power generation plant and there is also no plan to embark on a nuclear power program in the foreseeable future. The only nuclear reactor available in the country is a 1 MW thermal research reactor owned and operated by MINT (Malaysian Institute for Nuclear Technology Research) (MINT, 2002). As mentioned earlier, Malaysia is current adopting the Five-Fuel Diversification Strategy which calls for the utilization of natural gas, coal, oil, hydro and renewable energy. Malaysia is also not expected to include nuclear power in its energy mix in the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, MINT stills keep abreast with the developments of nuclear power. MINT, together with TNB (Tenaga Nasional Berhad) has been continuously reviewing the prospect of including nuclear power in the energy mix for Malaysia. Such a continuing interest and periodic review was found to be necessary, according to the Ministry of Energy, Communications and Multimedia (MINT, 2002). Recognizing the need for early and adequate preparations should a nuclear power program be considered necessary, MINT and TNB, in cooperation with more than a dozen other governmental agencies and industrial organizations, had conducted a series of studies to systematically examine the possible role of nuclear power in Malaysia and to evaluate and assess the national state-of-preparedness for a possible implementation of such a program in the future. The purpose of these studies was to assemble a better and stronger information base to enable well-founded decisions to be made at the appropriate time, if and when Malaysia decides to go for nuclear power generation (MINT, 2002).
