Cambodia joins queue for nuclear power

August 23, 2010
ABC Radio Australia

The Cambodian ministry of industry, mines and energy has confirmed that scientists are studying nuclear technology as a means of addressing the country's chronic power shortages. Cambodia joins a queue of Southeast Asian nations that want to go nuclear. It's a month after Vietnam called on fellow ASEAN members to consider using nuclear power as a way of meeting rising energy needs, fuelling economic growth and combating climate change. But some worry that the region's developing nations lack the capacity to manage the safety risks.

Presenter: Joanna McCarthy
Speakers: Ernest Bower, director, Centre for Strategic & International Studies, Washington; Geoffrey Gunn, professor of international relations, Nagasaki University

Go to Iran and move the Bushehr nuclear plant over to Cambodia, 'cause Israel will obliterate it out of sight soon.

Did Hun Sen got a atomic doctorate somewhere that i'm not aware of. If he plan to build a nuclear power station. Please planned then next to Hun Sen mansions. and keep all the vietnamese illegal immigrate close by because another nuclear accident they will learn how Russian felt for years and still are feeling it today..

CPP and Hun Sen where and when did Cambodia have proper training for nuclear power?
Do you have proper infrastructure to disposed the nuclear waste properly. I think Hun Sen mansion as well build can we store them there?
Cambodia have lots of Sun light. Wouldnt a dumb PM Hun Sen consider this option as it clear renewable energy and now risk to enironments and human being...
Not only Hun Sen have half of an eye he also have half the brain, and the working half is dead.
