Regulator prepares for nuclear energy - Bangkok Post

Quick Summary:

The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) will start looking into the legal aspects of a small modular reactor project this month to prepare Thailand for using nuclear energy as observers voice concerns over a decline in domestic gas supply and uncertainty surrounding Thai-Cambodian talks on joint petroleum production in the overlapping claims area (OCA).

SMRs are expected to be developed and operated by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (Egat).

The ERC expects to sign an MoU with the Office for Atoms for Peace to jointly study regulations needed for the country to push ahead with the nuclear project, said Poonpat Leesombatpiboon, secretary-general of the ERC.
