Does Malaysia have nuclear power plants?
No it doesn't having Nuclear powere station The correct answer would be 'currently' Malaysia does not have any nuclear power plants but the government has announced the plan to build 2 nuclear power plants by 2020. As Malaysia has been heavily reliant on gas (around 60%) and coal (30%) the government would like to diversify the energy production and start using nuclear energy as the power generation for the rising electricity demand since it is cheaper in comparative. To produce 1,000 megawatts for one year 20 million tonnes of coal are need whereas only 30 tonnes of uranium are needed. I think this is a sufficient answer; Malaysia will have two nuclear power plants within the next decade or so.
