10 II. Nuclear Energy in Asia C. Asia-Pacific as the main arena for nuclear energy expansion 600 Nuclear Energy Demand (Mtoe), North America Europe/Eurasia Asia Oceania Middle East Africa Latin America Source: IEA World Energy Outlook 2011, p Note: statistics are calculated by adding up OECD Countries and Non-OECD Countries in each region. D. Slower growth of nuclear energy in other parts of Asia (excluding Eurasia) West Asia: Iran is the only country, which has built a nuclear reactor for electricity generation (Bushehr: 1000MW went online in 2011) 10
11 III. Demystification of the incident at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant 1 (FNPP 1) A. The incident was triggered by a record earthquake (9 degrees) followed by a major tsunami (15 meters high) 1.FNPP 1 tolerated the earthquake/tsunami 2.The tsunami damaged its cooling system leading to the core meltdown of its operating reactors 3.Limited release of radiation estimated at 10% of that of Chernobyl 4.No death or major injury caused by radiation 5.Human errors as the main cause: Vulnerability of the FNPP 1 s cooling systems to tsunamis due to miscalculations 6.Same incidents are avoidable by placing nuclear reactors cooling systems at a level immune to the worst-case tsunamis. Proof: Japan s nuclear power plants in the tsunami/earthquake-affected region (excluding FNPP 1) tolerated the natural disasters without experiencing any problem (e.g., Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant 2). The FNPP 1 incident does not prove the unsafe nature of nuclear energy. 11
12 III. Demystification of the incident at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant 1 (FNPP 1) B. Good safety record of nuclear energy: only three major accidents leading to the release of radiation since the nuclear energy era began Three Mile Island (1979): no harm to humans and no major damage to the environment Chernobyl (1986): human casualties and damages to the environment Fukushima (2011): no harm to humans and no major damage to the environment Source: Three Mile Island, 28 March 1979; Chernobyl Disaster, 26 April 1986; Fukushima Disaster, 11 March
13 IV. The Post-Fukushima era A. Negative view among the population at large about nuclear energy Main reasons: Lack of knowledge about nuclear energy Exaggerated reporting on the incident Source: 1. Anti-nuclear protest in Japan on Fukushima s first anniversary Anti-nuclear rallies in Europe a year after Fukushima. 13
14 IV. The Post-Fukushima era B. No major change in the global trends for nuclear energy expansion 1. Those uncommitted to nuclear energy in the pre- Fukushima era and/or have alternatives have declared phasing out their nuclear sector or not opting for one a.germany and Switzerland: It is uncertain if they will actually phase out their nuclear reactors at the end of their life span b.italy will continue importing electricity from France s nuclear reactors 2. Those committed in the pre-fukushima era for certain reasons have remained so (e.g., Brazil, France and Russia) 14
15 IV. The Post-Fukushima era C. The Fukushima nuclear incident s impact on Asia Two distinct reactions in Japan and the rest of the continent Japan s reaction: Exceptional to the continental reaction as it shut down all its nuclear reactors by June 2012 to conduct stress tests out of safety concerns and public pressure Reaction in other parts of Asia: Emphasis on safety issues, but no major change in their nuclear energy policy 15

26 VI. Asia s commitment to nuclear energy in the post-fukushima era A. Reasons for Asia s commitment in the pre-fukushima era 1. Energy security (energy mix diversification) 2. Ending heavy reliance on imported fuels 3. Financial: heavy and growing cost of fuel imports Source: IEA, Key World Energy Statistics 2011, pp
27 VI. Asia s commitment to nuclear energy in the post-fukushima era 4. Political/security reasons: concerns about the vulnerability of the Asian countries to political/military developments in their supplying regions Current Results of Arab Spring Source: An oil refinery in Libya burns during the rebels push towards Tripoli. Photograph: Sean Smith for the Guardian. 27
28 VI. Asia s commitment to nuclear energy in the post-fukushima era 5. Depletion of oil/gas/coal reserves in fossil-energy-rich countries - According to BP, world proved oil, gas and coal reserves in 2010 were sufficient to meet 46.2, 58.6 and 118 years of global production, respectively. 6. Environmental reason: decreasing CO 2 emissions to mitigate global warming Asian countries had strong reasons to justify their opting for nuclear energy in the pre-fukushima era Source: IEA Key World Energy Statistics 2011, pp
29 VI. Asia s commitment to nuclear energy in the post-fukushima era B. Reasons for Asia s Commitment to Nuclear Energy in the Post-Fukushima Era 1. Continued validity of the pre-fukushima era s reasons 2. Good safety record of nuclear energy since 1950s - Only three major accidents - Non-nuclear power generation has been more dangerous to humans and the environment in the same period if their fuels production process is taken into consideration Coal as an example: Thousands of coal miners are killed every year due to mining accidents throughout the world. In 2010, 2433 of miners were killed in China, for instance. CO 2 accounts for the bulk of greenhouse gasses, the main cause of global warming. Coal/peat burning for mainly power generation produced million tons of CO 2 in
30 VI. Asia s commitment to nuclear energy in the post-fukushima era 3. Developments since 2011 with a positive impact on nuclear energy expansion a. Availability concern: whether enough oil and gas will be available Concern about the availability of Arab oil/gas supplies given the prevailing political instability (e.g., Egypt) and, in cases, war (Libya and Yemen) in the Arab oil/gas exporters of mainly North Africa and a fear of expansion of such situation to the major Arab oil/gas exporters of the Persian Gulf (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and the UAE) Concern about the availability of African oil supplies owing to: -- the independence of Sudan s southern part containing about 90% of the country s oil reserves, which became official on 9 July 2011 China, India and Malaysia have been the main investors in Sudan s oil industry in absence of the major Western investors --continued civil war and lawlessness in Nigeria Concern about the availability of Iranian oil/gas supplies due to the expanding UN-approved and unilateral sanctions on Iran and a threat of war in the Persian Gulf Concern about a Western effort to physically control the major oil/gas exporting countries taking advantage of the current situation (e.g., Libya) 30
31 VI. Asia s commitment to nuclear energy in the post-fukushima era b. Affordability concern: unavailability of oil, gas and coal at affordable prices in a sustainable manner -- end of cheap fossil energy, particularly oil Growing cost of fossil energy especially oil and gas Growing cost of coal in Asia due to the growing need for cheap energy, depletion of oil/gas resources and Japan s more use of coal in the post- Fukushima era. High oil prices to last in the foreseeable future due to various reasons particularly high demands and political uncertainties in many oil-producing countries. c. Environmental concern: Necessity of mitigating global warming requiring a major reduction in oil, gas and coal consumption, which is not happening at the needed scale despite impressive efforts in China, India, Japan and South Korea 31
32 VI. Asia s commitment to nuclear energy in the post-fukushima era 4. Absence of environmentally-clean alternative to nuclear energy for largescale electricity generation Wind, solar, wave and tidal energy are all necessary but unable to generate large-scale electricity due to their technological underdevelopment Biomass generates CO 2 Biofuel: false promise for its production process is extremely pollutive and energy/water intensive Source: 1.

34 VII. Japan s eventual rehabilitation of its nuclear power sector 3. Absence of environmentally-clean alternative to nuclear energy to generate large-scale electricity 4. Unsustainability of the current dependence on mainly fossil energy for electricity generation for financial, security and environmental reasons Heavy financial burden Sudden increase in oil, gas and coal imports to generate electricity Increasing vulnerability of Japan to political and military developments in its supplying region Growing CO 2 emissions 5. Feasibility of safe operation of nuclear reactors Source: Statistics Bureau of Japan, 34
35 VII. Japan s eventual rehabilitation of its nuclear power sector B. Current situation and trends - New Japanese Prime Minister (Yoshihiko Noda): Shift towards rehabilitating the nuclear energy sector -Resumption of operation of two reactors in July (No. 3 and 4 reactors at the Oi Nuclear power plant, west Japan) - Japan will gradually re-operationalize its nuclear reactors excluding those, which cannot be upgraded to withstand tsunamis at an acceptable cost, and build new ones 35
36 VIII. Nuclear energy as a necessity for Asia Asia must further diversify its energy mix in a sustainable manner to meet its growing energy demand Nuclear energy is a necessity along with environmentally-friendly renewables Evidence suggests that Asia will remain the main scene for nuclear energy expansion despite the Fukushima incident 36
