Search on for nuclear site [url] http://www.nation...87411& [/url] By Sucheera Pinijparakarn The Nation Published on November 3, 2008 Powerplant survey will take a year The government will be notified of the possi ble location of Thailand's first nuclear power plant late next year at the earliest, a panellist told a roundtable last week. Samerjai Suksumek, director of the strategic energy policy and planฌning division of the Nuclear Power Programme Development Office (NPPDO), said during the discussion "Nuclear Power, an Alternative Against Global Warming" organised by Krungthep Turakij that the results of a study on the subject should be ready for the government in 2010 at the latest. He said Thailand should give serious thought to building a nuclear-power plant to reduce its heavy reliance on natural gas. "We are relying on natural gas too much, and the supply could last only 20 years, while coal is unacceptable on pollution grounds," he said. The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (Egat) will on Wednesday sign a contract with Burns and Roe Asia to conduct a threeyear feasibility study on the location, technology and size of the plant. Samerjai said the ideal location would be in the South as the plant would require a lot of cooling water and it would need over 1,000 rai to accommodate future expansion. According to the 15-year power-development plan (2007-2021), Thailand is expected to build two nuclearpower plants with a comฌbined capacity of 4,000 megawatts. Due to safety concerns, Egat has been chosen as investor and operator of both plants, which will cost around Bt400 billion to build. Dr Kamol Takabut, Egat assistant governor for powerplant engineerฌing, said the feasibility study would cost Bt1. 34 billion, with Bt750 milฌlion from the Energy Conservation Fund and the rest from Egat. He agreed that the government should be informed of suitable locaฌtions in 2009 or 2010 and that the plants should be in the South. Stressing the necessity of the plants, Kamol said natural gas now accounted for 70 per cent of elecฌtricitygeneration fuel, besides oil, coal and hydropower. Nuclear would reduce fuel risks, he said, but the plan could be cancelled if new technology or a new source of power becomes available. He said the consultant would choose whether to use boilingwater, pressurisedwater reactor or Candu (Canadian deuteriumuranium) reactors. Pressurised water is the most popular, representing 61 per cent or 265 plants from a total of 442 operating nuclearpower plants around the world, he added. Kamol argued that although nuclearpower plants cost more than power plants run on other fuels to build, the generating cost was lower, at Bt2. 08 per unit compared to Bt2. 12 for coal and Bt2. 63 for bioฌmass. Solar power is the most expensive at Bt20. 20. Supin Panyamak, chairman of the nuclearpower infrastructurepreparation subcommittee on public understanding, said that once the location was known, the subcommittee would start raising public awareness, particularly on safety. He said the public should understand that nuclear-power plants were safer than in the past. "We will start the publicawareฌness programme when we know the location. We have to rely on marketing tools both above the line and below the line to inform the public of the benefits of nuclearpower plants," he said. |

Et fremtidigt A-kraftvaerk vil ikke blive placeret i Chonburi eller Rayong, som der har vaeret tale om. I Chonburi har Royal Thai Navy deres storste base i Satahip og har modsat sig et fremtidigt A-kraftvaerk der. I Rayong er der ca. 2.000 fabrikker og den tidligere Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont har ved et besog i Rayong da han var PM lovet at det fremtidige A-kraftvaerk ikke vil blive placeret i Rayong.

så vidt jeg forstå, så er det langt sydpå, fra bangkok, der evt skal bygges, hvis der er penge til det, vietnam skal også til at bygge, til brug om ca. 10 år. her oprettes en universitets linie til det sammme, hvilke endnu ikke er på tale i thailand, |

Hej BKK Hvis du kalder Rayong og Hua Hin langt sydpaa, har vi ikke samme kort. Begge provinser er tidligere udpeget som egnede. Naar der tales om at placerer et A-kraftvaerk i de helt sydlige provinser er det for at faa gang i okonomien der. Ikke fordi et A-kraftvaerk skal vaere langt fra Bangkok. Man har talt om Atom-kraft i Thailand i mange aar, den forste plan fra 1982 omtaler 50 steder til et kraftvaerk. Nu er man nede paa 10 evt. steder, hvoraf der skal udpeges 3. Her er en artikel fra: Bangkok Post / Business Wednesday June 18, 2008 Nuclear study starts next month Five shortlisted for two years of research YUTHANA PRAIWAN & APINYA WIPATAYOTIN The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (Egat) next month will begin the feasibility study on operating a nuclear power plant in Thailand. The move comes despite growing opposition by activists aimed at derailing the project. The study was expected to take two years to complete, said Kamol Takabut, an Egat assistant governor for power plant engineering, at the Asean+3 conference on nuclear energy yesterday. Five candidates have been shortlisted to conduct the study: Black & Veatch Co and Burns & Roe from the US; Newjec Inc and the Japan Atomic Power Company from Japan; and AF Colenco Co from Switzerland. The project mandate will be awarded next month. Dr Kamol said the study would review suitable sites for a plant, as well as issues dealing with environmental management and prevention, safety standards, human resources, legal and economic matters and project finance. Egat, which has considered 50 potential sites from old studies since 1982, has narrowed the list to 10 and plans to create a shortlist of three. Potential sites have not been announced. Soaring fossil fuel prices have resulted in greater interest in nuclear power in Southeast Asia. Besides Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia are also considering nuclear power plants. Norkhun Sitthipong, the deputy permanent secretary for Energy, said representatives from China, Japan, Korea, Asean and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) agreed to co-operate to support developing nuclear power in Southeast Asia. Thailand needs to diversify its energy sources, since power consumption was rising by 5% to 6% a year, or 1,000 to 2,000 megawatts per year. Heavy reliance on natural gas and oil over the past several decades has hurt the country over the past year as global prices have risen to record highs. ''[Thailand] needs to speed up development of renewable energy, such as biogas, biomass, wind farms and solar cells,'' Mr Norkhun said. ''But limitations in raw materials and equipment costs mean these technologies cannot wholly replace fossil fuels as an energy source. We need something else as well.'' Policymakers say concerns over the ecological impact of dams make new hydropower projects complicated, while coal-fired plants prompt concerns over emissions and air pollution. But environmental activists say claims that nuclear power is clean and inexpensive are misleading. Greenpeace activists yesterday rallied at the Plaza Athe{aac}ne{aac}e Hotel, the site of the two-day conference, to protest against nuclear power. Tara Buakamsri, a Greenpeace activist, said the safety record of nuclear power worldwide was alarming to say the least. ''Finland is an example of failure on nuclear power as it had been detected over 1,500 serious risky spots that can lead to radioactive accidents only two years after the plant's completion,'' Mr Tara said. Chavalit Pichalai, deputy director of the Energy Policy and Planning Office, said the conference was aimed at sharing information about safety standard of nuclear technology. ''The meeting is not a forum to say yes or no to nuclear power,'' he said. Regarding the progress of nuclear power plant project in the country, Mr Chavalit said according to Thailand's power development plan (PDP), authorities will take until 2011 to consider feasibility plans for nuclear power. Egat, the state-owned electricity monopoly, will be responsible for the project. The development plan calls for nuclear power to provide 4,000 MW overall, with the first 2,000 MW operational in 2020 and another 2,000 MW a year later. Once fully operational, nuclear power will account for 10% of the country's total power. ''The nuclear power plant will be required to imply with all 19 criteria issues of the IAEA, so it would help guarantee the safety to a certain level,'' Dr Kamol said. --- Jeg har fulgt meget med i A-kraft debatten i Thailand, da Rayong har vaeret et evt sted til et fremtidigt A-kraftvaerk.
