Nuclear power in the Philippines (original) (raw)
Le Filippine nel 1984 decisero di non avviare la loro prima centrale elettro-nucleare appena ultimata, sita a Bataan, presso Manila, e costruita (con un costo di quasi 3 miliardi di dollari) dall'americana Westinghouse ai tempi della dittatura Marcos. Nel 2004 il presidente Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo ha reso pubblici i progetti di conversione di tale centrale in un impianto alimentato a gas ma la cosa non ha avuto successivamente alcun seguito. Al contrario, il 22 gennaio 2009 un gruppo di parlamentari del Congresso filippino ha visitato l'impianto in vista di una sua prossima riapertura. La proposta di legge in tal senso ha già raccolto l'adesione di 190 deputati su 238.

| dbo:abstract | Nuclear Energy was considered as an alternative source of energy after the 1973 oil crisis, in which the Philippines was affected. The Bataan Nuclear Power Plant was built in the early 1980s as a result, but never went into operation. It was mothballed by Former President Corazon Aquino on the fear of reactor meltdown after the Chernobyl Disaster as well as the increase of the price of the plant. The Fukushima nuclear disaster dampened further efforts to revive nuclear energy in the philippines and gave pause to efforts to revive the plant. There have been proposals in 2009 and 2016 to operate the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant. The Philippine Research Reactor-1 had been operated from 1963 until 1988 by the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute in Quezon City. In December 2020 a group of experts from International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was invited by the Philippine government to review the country's nuclear infrastructure. Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi has been quoted saying that the mission will help with finally making nuclear power a part of the country's energy mix. On February 28, 2022, President Rodrigo Duterte approved and signed a executive order to include nuclear power in the country's energy mix, as authorities prepare to phase out of coal-fired power plants and after earlier efforts failed due to safety concerns. It states that it can combat the power outages and the electricity prices, despite of environmental radiation concerns. Duterte said nuclear power would be tapped as a viable alternative baseload power source as the Philippines seeks to retire coal plants to help meet climate goals. The weak electrical grid connections between the over 1000 inhabited islands of the Philippine archipelago presents a challenge to a nuclear policy. The mothballed Bataan Nuclear Power Plant is close to Manila, the largest electrical demand location, so is an option for revival or the site of a new plant.
