This movement is not the first time Southeast Asian nations have sought nuclear energy. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/nuclear-energy-transition-southeast-asia-e755bebc3ded2c9e747cda45de524447\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Associated Press<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Southeast Asia\u2019s only nuclear power plant was completed decades ago, about 40 miles from Manila, the capital of the Philippines. However, the plant was left idle due to fears of corruption and never even produced a single watt of nuclear energy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite this history, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Business\/wireStory\/southeast-asia-nuclear-power-supercharge-energy-transition-118383015\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ABC News<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports that Vietnam has revived its nuclear power plans, Malaysia has plans involving nuclear energy, and the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, and Myanmar are all now showing interest in nuclear power as an energy source. The Associated Press emphasizes that these nations are on a quest for a cleaner, more reliable energy source. The states view nuclear energy as a\u00a0climate solution, as reactors do not emit the plant-warming greenhouse gases released by burning coal, gas, or oil. New technology not only lowers the risk of radiation from nuclear power but also makes the building of nuclear power plants cheaper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Southeast Asian movement towards clean, nuclear energy stems from its need to reduce reliance on coal and other fossil fuels. A shift toward clean energy is viewed as a necessity for the region, as, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thediplomat.com\/2023\/06\/anticipating-dual-use-risks-in-an-atomic-southeast-asia\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Diplomat<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Southeast Asia is one of the most rapidly developing and technologically dynamic regions of the modern era. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/reports\/southeast-asia-energy-outlook-2022\/key-findings\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">International Energy Agency<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports key findings that Southeast Asia\u2019s power demand is projected to double by 2050, reflecting the urgency of a movement toward a clean power source to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Despite the momentum the nuclear energy movement has now, it is a project that has been in the works for years. The Diplomat reports that multiple states within the region have been building the infrastructure to achieve such a bold goal for years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Only in recent years has the movement been politicized. In 2022, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/asia.nikkei.com\/Politics\/Philippine-elections\/Marcos-vows-to-bring-nuclear-power-to-the-Philippines\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nikkei Asia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a Japanese-owned news company, reported that Ferdinand Marcos Jr. campaigned in the Philippines with the promise of reviving the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, which was built under his father but never operated. Having won the presidency, Marcos Jr. has been in communication with the U.S. nuclear power firm NuScale to bring small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) to the Philippines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over in Vietnam, a Vietnamese power engineering consultancy named PECC2 has partnered with the Danish company Seaborg, which designs power barges using compact molten salt reactors, and German manufacturer Siemens Energy to investigate floating nuclear power plants that would provide electricity as well as hydrogen and ammonia production, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/world-nuclear-news.org\/Articles\/Study-examines-option-for-floating-nuclear-power-i\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">World Nuclear News<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Seaborg\u2019s design is for modular CMSR power barges that can produce between 200 MW and 800 MW of electricity, with an operational life of 24 years. Vietnam has attempted nuclear power generation since 1995 but has failed multiple times due to financial issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, in March of 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued a draft development plan calling for the inclusion of small modular reactors in the country\u2019s energy mix after 2030. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-03-31\/quake-prone-indonesia-explores-sites-for-nuclear-power-plants\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bloomberg<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports that Indonesia, \u201cthe giant\u201d of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations\u00a0(ASEAN), an intergovernmental organization that promotes economic, political, and social cooperation in Southeast Asia, has\u00a0moved up\u00a0its timeframe for nuclear power deployment to 2039, riding the momentum of the $20 billion Just Energy Transition Partnership at the 2022 G-20 Summit in Bali.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although the Southeast Asian movement has generated global cooperation and incentives for clean energy, it has also sparked criticism. Scott Jones, a nonproliferation and export controls expert with the U.S.-based Stimson Center, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that works to improve international security and prosperity, warns that Southeast Asia\u2019s status as an \u201cemerging source and trade hub\u201d for\u00a0nuclear power could present \u201cunique nonproliferation challenges\u201d if strategic trade controls (STCs) are insufficiently implemented before the gates are opened, reports The Diplomat. His statements underscore the dual use of nuclear power: its potential for clean energy, but also destruction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Licensing by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bis.doc.gov\/index.php\/enforcement\/oea?id=1057\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> supports Jones\u2019s statement. Of the 10 ASEAN nations, only Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines possess strategic trade control frameworks, which help to ensure that no materials are siphoned off to the black market, a plausible pathway for rogue states and terrorist groups to create weapons of mass destruction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Image courtesy of\u00a0<em>Getty Images.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Southeast Asia is taking historic action with its ambitious movement towards nuclear power to create a sustainable energy source for the region\u2014one that has never applied nuclear power before.
