Viewpoint: Singapore Nuclear Energy - Committed, but ready?

from The Afternoon Update with Lynlee Foo · host MONEY FM 89.3

Singapore hasn't decided to go nuclear. But it's doing everything a country does before it can. Bilateral agreements with the US, Japan, and South Korea. A $10 billion energy fund. A nuclear energy office. And an IAEA readiness review in 2027. The question is no longer whether nuclear belongs in Singapore's energy conversation. The question now is whether Singapore can build what nuclear actually demands: regulators, engineers, safety culture, waste governance, and public trust. On Viewpoint, Lynlee Foo speaks with Trung Ghi, Partner and Head of Energy & Utilities Practice for Asia Pacific at global management consultancy Arthur D. Little, who gives a frank assessment of the gaps, and what it would take to close them.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
