| 總結: | Recently, the Philippines has been demonstrating its interest in using nuclear energy, including addressing
issues and gaps in its nuclear energy preparations, several of which fall under nuclear security, nuclear
emergency preparedness and response, and regulatory capacity. This article argues that the ASEAN
member states’ growing regional cooperation in nuclear safety and security, spearheaded by the ASEAN
Network of Regulatory Bodies on Atomic Energy (ASEANTOM), can have a strong positive impact on
the Philippines’ nuclear energy preparations. ASEANTOM’s regional activities and projects can help the
Philippines address some of the current critical gaps and issues in its nuclear energy preparatory plans.
But there are still limitations to how much regional cooperation can impact the Philippines’ nuclear power
preparations. This article is not only just about the Philippines and its plan to use nuclear energy, but also
about ASEAN cooperation in nuclear safety, security, and emergency preparedness and response. |
