21 Public Knowledge Program PUBLIC INFORMATION ACTIVITIES Exhibitions EGAT hold about 40 exhibitions in many provinces. About 30,000 students and people attended in these exhibitions. Seminars Nuclear Power Program seminars were organized by TINT/EGAT to Office of Government local community leaders Nuclear Tour visit operating Nuclear Power Plant and nuclear facilities 21

22 (a) Exhibitions OAP / TINT / EGAT hold about 50 exhibitions in many provinces. About 69,000 students and people attended d in these exhibitions. 22

23 (a) Exhibitions Nuclear Power Plant Model exhibitions were very attractive to secondary school students high school students as well. 23

24 (b) Seminars Nuclear Power Program seminars were organized by NPPDO/EGAT to students in high schools & universities local community leaders 24

27 INIR Mission and Readiness Report 27

28 INIR Mission (Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review) Thailand had carried out the self-evaluation and submitted a report to IAEA in October 2010 IAEA experts had come to Thailand during Dec 13-18, 2010 to conduct an INIR mission 28

29 19 Infrastructure Issues for INIR Mission 1. National position 2. Nuclear safety 3. Management 4. Funding and financing 5. Legislative framework 6. Safeguards 7. Regulatory framework 8. Radiation protection 9. Electrical grid 10. Human resources development 11. Stakeholder involvement 12. Site and supporting facilities 13. Environmental protection 14. Emergency planning 15. Security and physical protection 16. Nuclear fuel cycle 17. Radioactive waste 18. Industrial involvement 19. Procurement Significant Action Needed Minor Action Needed No Action Needed 29

30 Main Conclusion The INIR Mission Team reviewed all of the 19 issues based on the IAEA reference documents. The Team concluded that based on the progress in addressing 19 issues, which will be included in Readiness Report, Thailand can make a knowledgeable decision on the introduction ti of nuclear power. 30

31 Major Gaps (1) 1. No official statement demonstrating the Government s commitment to the safe, secure and peaceful (non-proliferation) implementation of nuclear power for the long term National Position 2. Nuclear Regulatory Body is not independent Nuclear Safety 3. No evidence of commitment to ensure appointment t of leaders with appropriate training i and experience for leadership and the management of safety Nuclear Safety 31

32 Major Gaps (2) 4. No evidence showing understanding of the ultimate responsibility of the operator for safety Nuclear Safety 5. Human Resources Development Plan for the regulator side is not sufficiently detailed for Milestone 1 -HRD 32

33 Good Practices (1) 1. Authorization system for controlling possession and use of nuclear materials, Identification of the responsible person and submission with the license application 2. NPP siting preparation activities, which conducted in a systematic way and covered in NPP Pre-FS by EGAT s consultant 3. Significant ifi improvement of the security framework through effective implementation of the recommendations from the IAEA IPPAS Mission 33

34 Good Practices (2) 4. Utility s studies for inclusion of an NPP into the existing and future national electrical grid, which covers all the necessary aspects and are well documented 5. The Utility s HRD Plan, which has considerable scope and depth, addressing all elements required by Milestone 1 and has already included nuclear familiarization training for many staff 6. Study on Strategic Environmental and Siting Assessment for Nuclear Power Plant Project by Chulalongkorn University, which is a comprehensive report addressing the environmental issues and siting 34

35 Readiness Report (1) NPIECC and sub-committees had prepared Readiness Report to submit to National Energy Policy Council (NEPC) for consideration to proceed to Phase 2 (Project Implementation) Contents 1 Thailand NPP Policy and Development 2 Evaluation of Thailand Infrastructure for Supporting NPP Project Self-Evaluation of Infrastructure INIR Mission 3 Activities in the Next Phases 4 Conclusions and Suggestions 35

36 Readiness Report (2) Nuclear Power Development Office had submitted Readiness Report to Ministry of Energy at the end of 2010 NPP project is postponed 6 years to fill major gaps and promote public understanding of NPP 36

37 Current Challenges National position Political instability Government commitment Public acceptance Promoting understanding and participation Site survey and data collection Infrastructure Preparation Laws and regulations for nuclear power Independent nuclear regulatory body 37

38 Pre-Project Activities Phase On-going Activities Public communication, education and participation Lessons learned from Fukushima Accidents NPP Technical and Safety Reviews NPP Site Selection Reviews Emergency Preparedness and Response Infrastructure Preparation Laws and regulations for nuclear power Human resource development 38
