• Fossil fuels currently
dominate energy mix (94%)
• Need to diversify and
balance energy sources for
economic, environmental
and energy security reasons
• Electricity generation

To plan, spearhead and coordinate the implementation of nuclear energy development programme for Malaysia and to take the necessary action to realise the development of the first nuclear power plant in Malaysia
To ensure the development of nuclear infrastructure for the country is in line with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) guidelines covering the 19 key areas of:
To identify the company or special purpose vehicle (SPV) to be the owner and/or operator of the nuclear power plant
• National position • Legislative framework • Stakeholder involvement • Site and supporting facilities
• Nuclear safety • Regulatory framework • Funding and financing • Security and physical protection
• Management • Radiation protection • Environmental protection • Industrial involvement
• Safeguards • Electrical grid • Emergency planning • Human resource development
• Procurement • Nuclear fuel cycle • Radioactive waste
