4 INTRODUCTION TO MALAYSIA MALAYSIA consists of two parts: PENINSULAR MALAYSIA 39.7% of land area (132,090 sq.km.) 80% of national population Consisting of 11 states including Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur & Putrajaya STATES OF SABAH & SARAWAK 60.3% of land area (198,847 sq.km.) 20% of national population Consisting of 2 states including Federal Territory of Labuan Nuclear Power only relevant for the Peninsula for some time to come, due to small grid size in Sabah & Sarawak Source: Jamal Khaer Ibrahim The Basis & Process for Considering Nuclear Power for Meeting Future Energy Needs in Malaysia; International Project on Innovative Reactors & Nuclear Fuel Cycle (INPRO); Dialogue Forum on Nuclear Energy Innovation; Vienna, Austria; 1-4 February

6 CURRENT NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY 1979 National Energy Policy Supply Objective: To ensure adequate, secure and cost-effective supply of energy; Utilization Objective To promote efficient utilization of energy & discourage wasteful and non-productive patterns of energy consumption; and Environmental Objective To ensure factors pertaining to environmental protection are not neglected in production & utilization of energy Source: Jamal Khaer Ibrahim The Basis & Process for Considering Nuclear Power for Meeting Future Energy Needs in Malaysia; International Project on Innovative Reactors & Nuclear Fuel Cycle (INPRO); Dialogue Forum on Nuclear Energy Innovation; Vienna, Austria; 1-4 February

7 NATIONAL FUEL DIVERSIFICATION POLICIES National energy sources determined by Fuel Diversification Policies 1981 Four-Fuel Diversification Policy: to reduce over-dependence on single fuel source; to focus on four main sources of fuel, i.e.: oil, hydropower, natural gas & coal Five-Fuel Diversification Policy: to incorporate renewable energy as a fifth fuel; to expand fuel sources to comprise oil, hydropower, natural gas, coal & renewable energy Source: Jamal Khaer Ibrahim The Basis & Process for Considering Nuclear Power for Meeting Future Energy Needs in Malaysia; International Project on Innovative Reactors & Nuclear Fuel Cycle (INPRO); Dialogue Forum on Nuclear Energy Innovation; Vienna, Austria; 1-4 February

8 CURRENT STATUS OF THE NUCLEAR POWER OPTION June 26, 2009 Government decision for nuclear energy to be one of the fuel options for electricity generation post-2020; Especially for the Peninsula National Nuclear Power Infrastructure Plan to be prepared by 2012 However, nuclear power project decisions will only be made under the framework of the new National Energy Policy in 10 th Malaysian Plan Source: Jamal Khaer Ibrahim The Basis & Process for Considering Nuclear Power for Meeting Future Energy Needs in Malaysia; International Project on Innovative Reactors & Nuclear Fuel Cycle (INPRO); Dialogue Forum on Nuclear Energy Innovation; Vienna, Austria; 1-4 February

9 10 TH MALAYSIA PLAN ( ) 2015) 1. Internally driven, externally aware. 2. Leveraging on diversity internationally. 3. Transforming to high-income through specialisation. 4. Unleashing productivity-led growth & innovation. 5. Nurturing, attracting & retaining top talent. 6. Ensuring equality of opportunities & safeguarding the vulnerable. 7. Concentrated growth, inclusive development. 8. Supporting effective & smart partnerships. 9. Valuing our environmental endowments. 10. Government as a competitive corporation. NEW NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY incorporated in the 10 th Malaysia Plan 1. Increasing & diversifying generation capacity Development of alternative sources of energy, particularly hydro as well as importation of coal & LNG by 2015 to improve security of supply; To further reduce carbon emissions, super-critical coal technology will be explored; Nuclear energy as a longer term option will be considered in Peninsular Malaysia, with detailed feasibility study, training of human capital & awareness campaigns. 2. Strengthening transmission & distribution networks 3. Restructuring the electricity supply industry. 4. Improving customer service delivery. 9

15 KEY CHALLENGES IN NUCLEAR POWER DEVELOPMENT Public Acceptance International Governance Regulatory Development Plant Site Acquisition Construction Timeline Project Financing Challenge Promote public acceptance Sign/ratify relevant international treaties & conventions Put in place detailed regulations Acquire approval for plant sites Obtain public support in locality Require best-in-class timeline from vendors Obtain low-cost financing Potential Resolution Public opinion survey to identify priority segments & concerns. Awareness projects. Transparency in project implementation. Fast-track process. & make Government priority. Align on international best practices. Top-down mandate to accelerate process. Engage foreign experts to assess site & construction permit applications. Public information programme. Option for localities to bid to host plants as in Japan & the Republic of Korea. Negotiate with vendors based on timeline. Combine low-cost & market financing (e.g. sovereign-guaranteed foreign export credits, foreign equity, commercial loans, including Islamic financing). 15

16 BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE AT NATIONAL & LOCAL LEVELS PUBLIC INFORMATION & ACCEPTANCE TARGETS: 70% public acceptance by end 2012 NATIONAL PUBLIC OPINION Why nuclear? Why not solar? Is it safe? What about the waste? Isn t it too expensive? Where to get the fuel? Nuclear accidents? Public radiation exposure? Environmental impacts? Yes, but not in my backyard! STATE GOVERNMENTS Why build in this State? Won t we lose the next election? Is it safe? What benefit to the State? MUNICIPAL AUTHORITIES Why build in this district? Is it safe for the people? LOCAL POPULATION NIMBY, BANANA!* GENERAL CIVIL SOCIETY & PUBLIC STAKEHOLDERS civic society, mass media, non-governmental organisations (NGO s), religious, women & other civic organisations, teacher training colleges, university & school students, general public. STATE & LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS AROUND NUCLEAR PLANT SITES local Government, community leaders, village heads, local associations, such as farmers & fishermen associations, schools, etc. Why build here? Is it safe for us? Accident effect? Won t our food, fish, vegetable supply be contaminated? Our children? Our river, our beach? *NIMBY *BANANA = Not in My Backyard = Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything 16

17 PUBLIC INFORMATION ON NUCLEAR ENERGY (PINE) PROGRAMME: APPROACH INFORMATION BASE COMMUNICATION SKILLS TARGET & ISSUE IDENTIFICATION PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION PERFORMANCE MONITORING Information gathering & compilation. Accurate, timely & objective information. One-stop Inter-agency resource & referral centre at Nuclear Malaysia. Consistent message & coordinated response. Communicator training for relevant agencies including media skills, situational training, public psychology, etc. Specialized communicators for different target groups, especially with difficult targets. Associate communicators, Such as ghost writers & proxy communicators. Objective assessment of public opinion by segment of population, by ethnic group, State of domicile, urban/rural, income & education, political affiliation, occupation, etc. Identification of key concerns on nuclear power for each segment for more targeted public information communication strategies. Intensified dissemination of information. Public lectures, forum & dialogues, visits, exhibitions, publications, & media publicity & engagements. Foreign visits to nuclear communities by local media & opinion leaders. Twinning between local & foreign communities living near nuclear power plants. Performance target-based monitoring of effectiveness of public information activities. Periodic public opinion surveys benchmarked to initial survey as baseline data & review of communications strategies & activities. 17

19 IMPLICATION OF THE FUKUSHIMA EVENTS - AFTER NEGATIVE Public more concern on their safety.. Some state governments said: Not in My Backyard! MPs are worried POSITIVE Growing awareness about radiation issues among public. Numbers of discussions, dialogues and debates held allowing public to know more on nuclear technologies and safety related issues Nuclear Energy Option In Malaysia: Post Malaysia: No change in Energy Policy, Nuclear Energy as one of the option, first NPP by 2021 Source: Ir Dr Mohamad Puad Haji Abu - The Malaysia Nuclear Energy Option; A Post Fukushima Perspective; 2 nd Technical Working Group Meeting on Nuclear Power Infrastructure; Vienna, Austria; May
