The Ninh Thuan nuclear power project is set to receive billions of dollars in investment as Vietnam renews its ambitions for clean, reliable energy.

Associate Professor Dr Vuong Huu Tan, former Director of the Vietnam Atomic Energy Institute, talked to VietNamNet about reactor construction technology, fuel sources, and rational nuclear power proportion.

Ninh Thuận Province’s economy grew 1.7 times compared to the start of the term, with an average annual GRDP growth rate of approximately 9 per cent, ranking among the fastest in Việt Nam.

Emphasizing the importance of nuclear power, Ha Dang Son, director of the Center for Energy and Green Growth Research, said experiences in Europe can show the pressing need for and stabilization of nuclear power.

With the Ninh Thuan nuclear project set to restart, experts weigh the merits of advanced Generation III+ reactors versus emerging Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology.

The National Assembly has greenlit the continuation of the Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power Project and approved a budget to raise civil servants' base salaries in 2024, signaling a major step toward policy reform and economic development.

A government proposal to reinvest in the Ninh Thuan nuclear power projects has been submitted to the National Assembly, highlighting the importance of nuclear energy in Vietnam's energy transition.

Vietnam is taking the first steps toward reviving its nuclear power ambitions, with the Ministry of Industry and Trade highlighting its potential to address energy security and sustainability.

Ninh Thuan authorities have called on the Ministry of Industry and Trade to outline a clear roadmap for nuclear power development to maximize investment, land use, and training resources.

Following the cancellation of land reclamation orders, Ninh Thuan residents are cautiously rebuilding their livelihoods but remain on edge as they await clear government direction on the region's nuclear project plans.

At a National Assembly session, delegates proposed relaunching the Ninh Thuan nuclear plant to address growing energy demands and reduce reliance on coal.

Nuclear power could help ensure the nation’s sustainable energy security, experts say.

On November 25, 2009, the National Assembly released Resolution No41/2009 about the decision to develop the Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power project.

Ninh Thuan Province, once home to Vietnam's nuclear power plans, is under renewed focus as the country revisits nuclear energy strategies.

During a regular press conference on October 23, the Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade stated that the ministry will conduct research to select nuclear power technology that ensures "zero risk."

Nuclear energy produces nearly zero CO2 or other greenhouse gas emissions (roughly the same as hydro and wind power) and will be an important component in the power structure of many countries in the future.

Vietnam eyes to harness the power of nuclear technology to develop the healthcare, industrial and agricultural sectors amidst increasingly stringent requirements from local consumers and export markets.

As Vietnam positions itself for future energy sustainability, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has been tasked with exploring nuclear power developments worldwide.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has proposed increasing the development of solar power and exploring the feasibility of small modular nuclear reactors, including floating nuclear power plants, to address potential power shortages.
