According to Mr. Dien, whether to build a nuclear power plant or not can only be decided by the competent authorities, but the Ministry of Industry and Trade has advised the Government and leaders at all levels that the world now has to turn around. develop nuclear power. Because according to the commitment at the COP 26 Conference – is to develop clean energy, exploit solar energy, wind power.
According to the Minister of Industry and Trade, in order to exploit these renewable energy sources, it is necessary to have a stable background power source. The current electricity base is only coal and hydroelectricity. While coal power no longer has the conditions to develop, hydroelectricity has also run out of room for development.
Therefore, in the future, if we are forced to implement what we promised at COP 26, we must develop very strongly renewable energy and at some point we need to consider developing nuclear power as a source of electricity. stable background running.
Mr. Dien cited, the US and Germany – two countries that have reduced nuclear power development three years ago, but now have to develop a roadmap for stronger development of nuclear power as a basis for renewable energy development.
Minister Nguyen Hong Dien said that the Ministry of Industry and Trade persistently proposed to the Government, and the Government had reported to the National Assembly on the planning of a nuclear power development site in Ninh Thuan, that “it has not considered the cancellation of this regulation.” plan the location of the nuclear power plant in Ninh Thuan, wait until the competent authorities decide whether to continue or not to develop the nuclear power plant before considering that factor.
