Outdated regulations hamper Malaysia from making its nuclear ambition happen

摘要

Rapidly industrialising Malaysia has a long history as a nuclear player, but it is yet to convert its 45-year relationship flirting with the idea of harnessing nuclear power into a functioning, operational industry. According to the World Nuclear Association, Malaysia produced 147TWh gross in 2014, 74TWh (50%) of this from gas, 56TWh (38%) from coal, 13TWh from hydro and 3.5TWh from oil. Malaysia enjoyed almost 30GWe installed capacity in 2013,51.8% of this gas and 25.8% coal.
