The Philippines produced 56.5 billion kWh of electricity in 2005.
In response to the 1973 oil crisis, the Philippines decided to build the two-unit Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP). Construction of Bataan 1 - a 621 MWe Westinghouse pressurized water reactor - began in 1976 and it was completed in 1984 at a cost of $460 million. However, due to financial issues and safety concerns, the plant was never loaded with fuel or operated. In April 2007, the Philippine government made the final payment for the plant. The government was considering converting it into a natural gas-fired power plant, but this was impractical, and the plant has simply been maintained.
In 2007 the Philippines Department of Energy (DOE) set up a project to study the development of nuclear energy, in the context of an overall energy plan for the country. Nuclear energy would be considered in order to reduce the country's dependency on imported oil and coal. In 2008 an IAEA mission commissioned by the government advised that Bataan-1 could be refurbished and economically and safely be operated for 30 years. Refurbishment is estimated to cost $800 million. The IAEA was also to recommend a policy framework for nuclear power development in the country.
The government is establishing a working group with a view to proceeding along the same lines as Thailand, retaining engineering consultants to guide progress.
What else can I help you with?
Where are the nuclear power plants in the Philippines?
Philippines has a nuclear power plant, but it does not operate.it can be found in Bataan. it is not operating, because the people of Bataan are afraid of the hazards that might happen. these arepossible accidents, routine emissions of radiation, radioactive wastes and thermal pollution.another reason why it does not operate is because of what had happened in Chernobyl, Russia, wherein, the power plant exploded because of flawed nuclear power plant structure and inadequately trained personnel.
What is a non renewable energy resource that cant be burned?
Uranium is a non-renewable energy resource that can't be burned. It is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity through a process called nuclear fission.
Where can the resource for nuclear energy be found?
Are you asking for a resource for information about nuclear energy, or are you asking about a resource in nature which can provide energy from nuclei?For a resource for information, start with the Hyperphysics website at Georgia State University in the US. Search for 'hyperphysics nuclear energy'. Lots of short, linked, explanations.The natural resource which is most commonly used in nuclear powered electrical generating stations is uranium. Uranium is mined in a variety of places including North American, Africa, and Asia.
Is nuclear power a renewable energy resource?
No, nuclear power is not considered a renewable energy resource. It relies on the fission of uranium or plutonium, which are finite resources. Although nuclear power produces electricity without emitting greenhouse gases, its fuel source is not renewable.
What kind of nuclear resource does a nuclear power use?
What kind of nuclear resource being used in nuclear power depends on what kind of nuclear power is being used. For nuclear fusion, we use tritium and seawater to obtain deuterium for a DT reaction. In nuclear fission, we commonly use uranium ore.
Is nuclear power a natural resource?
Nuclear power itself is not a natural resource; rather, it is a method of generating energy using nuclear reactions. The primary natural resource used in nuclear power is uranium, which is mined from the earth. Other materials, such as thorium, can also be utilized in nuclear reactors. While nuclear power is a low-carbon energy source, it relies on these natural resources for fuel.
How many nuclear power plants does the Philippines have?
There is only one nuclear power plant in the Philippines. It is located in Bataan and was made in 1973.
Does the Philippines have a nuclear weapon?
NO
Does Philippines has a nuclear weapon?
no
Does Philippines have nuclear capability?
