The ship must first raise its anchor and leave port before it can reach the other coast.

If we will not try, how will we ever know we will succeed?

during the typhoon season they will just be blown away.

This is an exaggeration. There is a feasible study done before such project is implemented, don´t forget it means a lot of money.

yes, we should try.
just like any great endeavors or adventures,
it must begin with a blessing or a wish.
and my wish would be: Good Luck

nobody can really prove it here since we don't have nuclear scientist. if we do have, where are they working? we are basing all the facts from experts from other countries as well as arguments from environmentalist. the pros and cons of the nuclear energy are battling it out, point for point against each other based on what? research, real time events/incidents, theories?
i think we need to know what prompted president marcos to build such structure and why it was left idle after he was removed from power. what if that plant was able to operate after it was built and commissioned? what will be it's accomplishments and benefits it give to the country up this date? obviously our answers are all theories because we didn't experience that one.
if i will read the facts of the pros, i will say they have the point. if i will read the facts of the cons, they too have a point. so both pros and cons have the point to raise as to why they are on the opposite side. do we need to have a plebiscite for this one voting between pros and cons of nuclear plants? i think no, because it's going to involve lots of money and we all know that the world is facing a financial crisis that no one experienced in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.

The irony is, if Germany, a highly developed country is even proposing Nuclear Power Plants to be phased out, we in the Philippines want to start it here again.

And Way Nada, while you are talking about political agenda of the leftist, what else do they actually get should they support Solar and Wind Energy?

You can only say, that there is a political agenda, when they in return political, economical benefit from it?

You cannot even point out why.

and yes, it was a cut and paste posting,  I even credited Spegiel for that.  I am not a politician, nor an environmentalist, I can only based my arguments on what I know based on postings!

There is a saying that goes, " to learn from ones mistakes is good, but to learn from others mistakes is better.

Today 31 countries use nuclear energy to generate up to three quarters of their electricity, and a substantial number of these depend on it for one quarter to one half of their supply.

The People's Republic of China (which has 9 running nuclear power plants) plans to build 32 more nuclear power plants by 2020. China, just like the Philippines is an industrializing nation.

It is categorically unfair to compare Germany, a modernized western nation, with the Philippines, which has yet to reach its economic, military, and energy potential.

Nuclear power is an excellent source for renewable energy. Nuclear power, wind and solar power would sustain the Philippines' energy demands in the present and in the future.

Yeh! , Condemnation of nuclear plant in the Philippines is the main reason of why the manufacturing industry in our country is so behind and slow compare to other nations who are using nuclear power for their electricity. Low price of electricity and efficient power supply of electricity are the factors which attract the foreign and local investors to put up their businesses.

Now we have shortage of jobs, where are these people who were banned the plan for using nuclear power in our country?  For me they are responsible to resolve the job shortage in the country recently.

there's no doubt those means of generating energy can benefit a country like ours. more feasibility studies and researches are needed in order to make the implementation of programs efficient. however the lack of political will of our government and the lack of trust of our people to our government are engaged too deep to unlock. we may be able to go any further, but not any better. thus, supporting one to the other is necessary. does our government have the will to assure our people of its good intentions? are the people willing to believe the government?

Japan is also prone to earthquakes. But it has nuclear power plants.
I'm convinced the decision to scrap the BNPP was more of a political decision (to discredit a Marcos initiative) rather than for some other reasons.

Weather weather lang ;D

i agree with GEC and to add something. how much marcos got in that project alone? during that time $2.3 billion is such a big amount. it could be 200% higher if it was built today.

GEC is absolutely correct. Japan, China, and South-North Korea are all nations that belong in the Ring of Fire. Yet these countries also have nuclear plants.

China, alone, has 9, and has pledged to built an additional 32 by year 2020; to augment and address Her population and energy demands.

Japan, also an archipelagic nation, that suffers not only typhoons, but tsunamis and earthquakes (remember Kobe in the mid 1990s), yet Japan hails dozens of nuclear power plants.

Nuclear Power represents national independence from importing fuel. If the Chinese, the Koreans, and the Japanese can do it, whose to say that The Philippines cannot?

Are we any less than they? Do we not have thousands of technocrats? Engineers, Scientists, Physicians?

Philippines of the present doesn't have to be the Philippines of the Past.

I said in my previous posting that political power has its own relation with greed, but more than that also, it has something to do with wealth. This is the reason why Filipino politicians are vying themselves aiming for the seat of power. For them one week is too long for the next election. Each one of them is positioning  to take that covetted wealth and power! Ug sa ato pa mao ang pagkab-ot sa gahum ug mga bahandi.

Marcos again is no exception and I believe he [Marcos] made the most brilliant political maneuver of wresting power away from his political rivals. He outmaneuvered his rivals by declaring Martial Law which is legal under the constitution. PP I and PP II if you take a closer look they are illegal because it can be interpreted as revolutions and any kind of armed uprisings are illegal in any country all over the world.

The BNPP as every Filipino believed is a source of corruption in the Marcos regime. This belief was given more strength when Cory's men discovered documents in Malacanang after Marcos fled during the people power uprising. The documents purportedly said it is from Westinghouse Inc. and it said that it gave Marcos a commission worth $10,000.00 for winning to build BNPP for Westinghouse.

The next day the newpapers in Manila bannered the news that they have found the "smoking gun" to indict Marcos for the crime of bribery and corruption. But Marcos cannot be charged in the Philippines because bribery cannot be committed by only one person but two. It takes two to tango... ug sa ato pa. Marcos partner is Westinghouse Inc., so the transitional government of Cory Aquino sent its bright boy Rene Saguisag to Seattle, Washington the place where the main office of Westinghouse Inc. is located to file charges of bribery and corruption.   

In the Seattle hearing the court did not believe Rene Saguisag's arguments that Marcos the president of the Philippines and Westinghouse Inc. committed the crime of bribery and corruption but, the court gave more weight on the deposition of Westinghouse Inc. that the $10,000.00 dollars given to Marcos is a commission. That even if Marcos did not accept it somebody in his government will receive it because it is a company's policy of giving commission.

So Atty. Rene Saguisag went home empty handed.

Sa panahon ni Marcos daghang leftist niadtong panahona contra sa Nuclear Power sa Pilipinas tungod kay basin gamiton ni Marcos para pagtugis nila, ikaduha, gusto sa mga leftist ang solar ug wind power source ang idevelop tungod kay ma benipesyohan man sab sila niini kay bisan asa silang mga leftist sa bundok man sila may electricity power sab sila by solar energy, ibig sabihin patas lang.

Reopening of the BNPP raises many issues as expected before it sails smoothly towards its alleged benefits when fully operational. It seems prodding the argument based on political issues is just like creating a bush fire in a wild forest. Meaning to say it will just do more harm than good if any. Nahibawo man tang tanan nga ang klase ng politics sa atong nasod mao nay gitawag ug ija ija, aho aho, or 'to each his own. Ang gipalabon mao ang kahakugan! When greed really comes into view in the minds of our leaders, how could they picture out the benefits of the welfare they intend to serve the whole populace and the generations to come? Thus, reopening of BNPP should not be focused mainly on political ideaologies because the parameters affecting the project are more on environmental, social and economic impact.

Questions relevant to the above issues could be asked like the following:
1. How sure we are that the environment is well protected. Are we prepared to live like what happened in Chernovyl, where the whole city within the 50-km radius from the reactor is totally abandoned because of exposed radiation? All the reactors in that place are now shut down because this nuclear station is no longer viable for operation. If we look at the cost-benefit ratio of the project it is already beyond the ideal level.

2. How about the residents proximate to the location of BNPP, are they willing to be dislocated with their livelihood and businesses in case untoward incident happens, like radiation leaks?

3. From what source do we extract uranium to feed the reactors? Are these sources available locally or for import. How much?  (This figure is needed for power distruibution price analysis). Is there any tendency that our government be under the mercy of the uranium suppliers if in case they would then create a supply monopoly?

4. Is it really cheaper to buy power from this source? I read from an article in the Inquirer that despite of the 50+ nuclear reactors Japan has, buying power from this source is still higher compared to other sources. (TB membrs from Japan please confirm this report please.)

Alay,

I'll try to answer your questions below.

Questions relevant to the above issues could be asked like the following:

1. How sure we are that the environment is well protected. Are we prepared to live like what happened in Chernovyl, where the whole city within the 50-km radius from the reactor is totally abandoned because of exposed radiation? All the reactors in that place are now shut down because this nuclear station is no longer viable for operation. If we look at the cost-benefit ratio of the project it is already beyond the ideal level.

Reply:

We are very sure that the environment will be protected because the technology comes from Westinghouse Inc. Chernobyl is different because the accident happened when the Soviet Union can no longer afford at that time to maintain the plant. Their economy was bankrupt. With the demised of the Soviet Union the Russian Federation as what they are called now is reviving their expertise in making nuclear plant. As we speak they are now selling and building the Iranian nuclear plant.

2. How about the residents proximate to the location of BNPP, are they willing to be dislocated with their livelihood and businesses in case untoward incident happens, like radiation leaks?

Reply:

The BNPP was constructed away from the residential areas and even if there are people nearby, what's there to be afraid of? The plant is not a ticking bomb. This is what happened to us when we listen too much to the staunch critics of nuclear plants. They talked as if the plant is a bomb. In the 1950's up to the 60's people in the Pacific Islands was exposed the open explosion of a nuclear device. In Australia the British tested their nuclear bombs openly in the desert and there is no report of a nuclear radiation affecting the people. This BNPP is not a bomb but a plant. The danger of a fallout is very remote.

3. From what source do we extract uranium to feed the reactors? Are these sources available locally or for import. How much?  (This figure is needed for power distruibution price analysis). Is there any tendency that our government be under the mercy of the uranium suppliers if in case they would then create a supply monopoly?

Reply:

The mining and export of uranium is regulated by IAEA. Uranium ores come cheap from Australia, Russia and some African countries. There is no danger that we are at the mercy of some suppliers because this is regulated by IAEA.

4. Is it really cheaper to buy power from this source? I read from an article in the Inquirer that despite of the 50+ nuclear reactors Japan has, buying power from this source is still higher compared to other sources. (TB membrs from Japan please confirm this report please.)

Reply:

Nuclear power is much cheaper to operate but expensive to build. BPNN is already finished and it cost the Filipino people $10 billion dollars to build and it just lay there inoperable because of politics. Last night Gordon Brown the Prime Minister of England specified in his speech that nuclear energy is the best alternative to oil and coal for a much much cleaner environment.

Addendum:

I think few of us know this that in Pag-asa at Diliman you will see a big dome. That edifice there is a nuclear reactor and it is our first try on nuclear power because during the time of President Dwight Eisenhower he promoted Atom for Peace program. As an ally of America we were the first to acquire this technology of studying nuclear energy. This nuclear reactor was built during the incumbency of the late Carlos P. Garcia. Inside this reactor are nuclear wastes that were there lying for more than 50 years. Ever since I have never heard of a leak or a fallout.

Alay,

I'll try to answer your questions below.

Questions relevant to the above issues could be asked like the following:

1. How sure we are that the environment is well protected. Are we prepared to live like what happened in Chernovyl, where the whole city within the 50-km radius from the reactor is totally abandoned because of exposed radiation? All the reactors in that place are now shut down because this nuclear station is no longer viable for operation. If we look at the cost-benefit ratio of the project it is already beyond the ideal level.

Reply:

We are very sure that the environment will be protected because the technology comes from Westinghouse Inc. Chernobyl is different because the accident happened when the Soviet Union can no longer afford at that time to maintain the plant. Their economy was bankrupt. With the demised of the Soviet Union the Russian Federation as what they are called now is reviving their expertise in making nuclear plant. As we speak they are now selling and building the Iranian nuclear plant.

2. How about the residents proximate to the location of BNPP, are they willing to be dislocated with their livelihood and businesses in case untoward incident happens, like radiation leaks?

Reply:

The BNPP was constructed away from the residential areas and even if there are people nearby, what's there to be afraid of? The plant is not a ticking bomb. This is what happened to us when we listen too much to the staunch critics of nuclear plants. They talked as if the plant is a bomb. In the 1950's up to the 60's people in the Pacific Islands was exposed the open explosion of a nuclear device. In Australia the British tested their nuclear bombs openly in the desert and there is no report of a nuclear radiation affecting the people. This BNPP is not a bomb but a plant. The danger of a fallout is very remote.

3. From what source do we extract uranium to feed the reactors? Are these sources available locally or for import. How much?  (This figure is needed for power distruibution price analysis). Is there any tendency that our government be under the mercy of the uranium suppliers if in case they would then create a supply monopoly?

Sa ako lang nasabtan BPNN, biktima ni sa maling akala sa mga tao nga may pangsariling interest lang Ug mga politicong kulang sa kaalaman bahin sa nuclear energy niadtong panahona back to Marcos regime.

* 1st  -  nagamit lang BPNN isip biggest issue niadtong panahona sa mga opposition leaders ug sa mga leftist para ipamukha sa mga tao nga ang gihimo sa governong Marcos ay walang kawenta kwenta at panganib pa ang dala nito. maaring itoy tinuod sa negative side sa maong project which is 0.01 % chances nga mahitabo, matod sa lebro nga nabasa ko bahin niini.

* 2nd - Mga Politicong kulang sa kahibalo bahin sa NE, kong bakit nasayang ang billion - billion peso nga maoy nagpalugmok nato sa kahirapan dahil sa kababayad sa utang sa WB. Kadtong mga way kahibaw O wa mag basa bahin sa nuclear energy sila pa komucontra niadtong panahona sa madaling salita nakikisakay lang sa agos sa politacal trend.

* 3rd  Ah basta gikapoy nako katatype sana Atong mga Politico mag hire ug usa empleyado nga ang trabaho "magbasa lang ug mga lebro ) taga research nya" kay sa mag hire siya'g subra subrang bodyguard.

****Sana basahin nyo na lang ang latest  American Edition sa Lebrong Physics ug uban pang related books usa maghusga.

Way Nada,

Please acknowledge my appreciation in giving our TB members some enlightening points regarding the issue on the proposed reopening of the BNPP as initiated by the incumbent officers of our government. I for one am not against any proposed projects of the government if these would only draw economic benefits for the whole Filipino populace than making them poorer by the minute of the day.

The main point why this project has to be reopened is that the Filipino people had already shouldered much the gargantuan cost of building it from the very start with nothing to gain but losses should this project be discarded permanently. Until now we are still paying for the cost of it, and unfortunately, if it’s still not enough, the unborn generations of Filipinos are already indebted from it before they come to realize the world. Baka sabihin nila, “Kung alam lang namin, sana huwag na kaming ipananganak!”A sad thing to note indeed! And what a total shame for us of course! Nandyan na yan, at sana it has to be done with all the safety precautions intact and with all the worst scenarios affecting the project considered in the study and operations. And because of the huge amount spent, and still has to be expended until fully operational have to be taken into account in determining the cost of power, then we should expect and be ready for the worst scenario. Power increase! Anyway, when worst comes to worst pwede man ta maglamparilya na lang using coconut oil, di ba? Pwede ba sa inyo yon?

Is there really an urgent need to reopen BNPP? We certainly know that our country is almost totally dependent on imported fossil fuels from the oil-reach countries of the world. The meager produce from our very own oil wells, the seemingly hopeless continuing efforts for oil explorations, and the volatility of the oil prices in the world market are just few obstacles to mention with, that would cause many caring brains squeezed in search for alternative solutions.  Although, the oil price now is going down, it could still be considered as a stochastic variable to mention with, very unpredictable and a random behavior so to speak. It keeps on changing even before it reaches the stage of global warming, di ba? So the world including the Philippines really needs to untangle now its dependency from fossil fuels before all our lands become part of the horizon. So, alternative sources have to be exhaustively searched for good. One of the alternatives for sure is the reopening of the BNPP if it benefits many people other than so few of them. Even if high risk is involve in here, and its successful operation is still dark as a moonless midnight, it is still much better to take that risk than not giving it a chance anyway. Anyways and anyhows, pag mag flop ni in the future, at least toa na ta namuyo sa ilawom yuta, sa hukay, di ba? Blame it to the worms, ika nga.

I am for it! Why not?  But is it timely?  I think it should be done now. Why? Not because of my fear of deviating the proverbial saying that, “Do not leave a thing undone for tomorrow, if you can do it today!”, but because we urgently needed it before it’s too late. The government needed it for sure in preparation for our claims at the Spratleys. Hope I am not mistaken! Why not?

WN,  I had been there inside of that building as visitor, now that building functioning as Philippine National Kinetic Energy Headquarter.
