DOE says PH leads SEA in nuclear power plant readiness

The Department of Energy (DOE) assures lawmakers that the Philippines is ahead of other Southeast Asian nations in preparations for building a nuclear power plant.

DOE Secretary Sharon Garin stated that this progress is not merely a public relations effort but a genuine advancement.

Garin explained that the nuclear energy program became revitalized with the new administration in 2022, allowing the country to get back on track.

She highlighted that while other countries like Indonesia and Vietnam have had periods of being ahead, their progress has been less steady.

The Philippines' consistent efforts place it in a leading position among its Southeast Asian counterparts in nuclear power plant readiness.
