Malaysia requires two nuclear reactors to generate electricity

bernama.com.my :

Malaysia needs at least two nuclear reactors as an alternative to fossil fuel to generate electric power, said Prof Datuk Dr Noramly Muslim, chairman of the Malaysian Nuclear Licensing Board. He said fossil reserves such as petroleum and coal are depleting and as such nuclear fuel is needed as an alternative to generate electric power.

Malaysia was planning to use nuclear power to generate electricity after the year 2020 but it could be implemented much sooner. Noramly said Indonesia and Thailand would use nuclear power by 2016 and 2018. UKM's Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and International Affairs) Prof Datuk Dr Sukiman Sarmani said Malaysian has the expertise and the scientists are now merely waiting for the "green light" from the government to begin the nuclear program.
