The plan was delayed by opposition following the Fukushima incident, but the Malaysian government has recently revived the project. The issues surrounding this topic have been overlooked for the most part, even by Malaysian academics. I will start this talk by discussing the national energy outlook, it demands, and challenges in the present and future, which will then be followed by an assessment of most alternative energies, including nuclear power. I will discuss the latest development in nuclear power, not only in terms of\u00a0 technologies but also encompassing policy formation, implementation, and enforcement; with an eye to experiences from the UK and Europe. I will then connect these observations to what is feasible in Malaysia while acknowledging the challenges.<\/p>\n Biography<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Kok Boon CHONG is a physicist specializing in condensed matter, have particular interests studying microstructures (atomic level)-properties in both theoretical and experimental. He obtained B.Sc (Hons) and PhD from UKM and QMUL respectively. Currently Boon works in UniMy. He actively in few international consortium projects in nuclear energy involving universities, research institutes and industries from UK, EU, USA, Japan, Canada, China, India and Australia. Boon also serves as panel for few large central synchrotron\/neutron diffraction and scattering facilities across the world, as well as for research funding agencies i.e. EPSRC and ERC.<\/p>\n We look forward to your\u00a0participation\u00a0in this\u00a0seminar. Confirmation of your attendance is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n For further information please call\u00a08<\/strong>921- 5839 or 8921-3782.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" THE INSTITUTE OF MALAYSIAN AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES (IKMAS)\u00a0UNIVERSITI KEBANGSAAN MALAYSIA \u00a0cordially invites you to; IKMAS\u00a0SEMINAR\u00a0SERIES\u00a0NO.1\/2016 Title \u00a0 \u00a0 :\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Malaysia Ready for Nuclear Power? …<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1160,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"news-category":[],"class_list":["post-1148","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1148"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1148\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1161,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1148\/revisions\/1161"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1148"},{"taxonomy":"news-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/ikmas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-category?post=1148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
