Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, Philippines


Back to Bataan? Let’s hope not: conceived in 1976 as the Philippines’ first nuclear power plant, construction was halted on the BNPP in 1979 just after the Three Mile Island nuclear accident. An official safety inquiry revealed the existence of over 4,000 defects, plus the fact that the plant was being built atop active earthquake fault lines and uncomfortably close to then-dormant Mount Pinatubo. The latter’s surprise awakening on June 15th of 1991 turned out to be the second-largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century.


Repairs prompted by the safety inquiry’s findings ended up adding time and cost to the project, the latter of which had ballooned to $2.3 billion US by 1984. Nothing could stop dictator Ferdinand Marcos’ pet project, however, until Marcos himself was toppled and exiled in 1986. One of the first acts of the new “People Power” government was to respect the will of the people and mothball the power plant – the costs weren’t paid off in full until mid-2007. In 2011, the plant was re-opened as a tourist attraction with a significant number of visitors coming from Japan.

Mujur tidak berjaya. dengan lokasi dan defects mampu melumpuhkan Malaysia juga.

sedikit tambahan yang mungkin berkaitan dengan situasi di Malaysia.

Zwentendorf Nuclear Power Plant, Austria
As the 1970s began, the central European nation of Austria determined that six nuclear power plants would be necessary to assure energy self-sufficiency in the coming decades. Construction began in 1972 at what was to be the Zwentendorf Nuclear Power Plant and the facility was completed on time and on budget in 1978. All that remained before the plant was fueled and the switches thrown was to await the results of a national referendum on nuclear power… which was rejected by a razor-thin 50.47% majority. DOH!

Cue “Nuclear Power Plant Makeover, Austria Edition.” After sitting idle for a number of years while the plant’s  nuclear-related infrastructure was dismantled, energy company EVN bought the plant and transformed the remaining infrastructure into a Solar Power Plant. As of the summer of 2012, the recycled and re-purposed power station had already produced more than 6 million kWh of electricity.

Tak tahu pula Filipina hampir menjana elektrik guna loji nuklear. Terima kasih.

bangcak

buat logi nuklear kat lingkaran gunung berapi mmg idea bangang.
mujur 'kuasa rakyat' berjaya hentikan.

depa dah selamat
kita yg berdepan 'logi najis bumi' nih taktau lagi masa depan anak2.
yg pasti hidup makin melarat, generasi baru mungkin ramai yg cacat.

bagi pemimpin kadangkala buat sesuatu hanya untuk jadi kemegahan dan cuba meninggalkan legasi. yang lebih bangang lagi selepas dah berbillion habis baru nak dengar kata rakyat.
