1. Overview of National Development Plan q Nuclear Power Development has been started in 1970. q In 1996, the Government assigned the MOIT and MOST in collaboration with the related ministries and organizations to begin conducting studies on the introduction of the nuclear power into Viet Nam. q The studies cover all topics related to NPP’s introduction into the country, including electricity demands and supply, economy, finance, technology, safety, radwaste management, nuclear law and regulation, site selection, manpower, public acceptance, international relations, etc. q The obtained results showed that by 2020 Viet Nam will likely change from an energy export country into an energy import country; and Viet Nam should consider NPPs’ construction.

1. Overview of National Development Plan q March 2002, The Steering Committee for Nuclear Power was established by Prime Minister. The Committee is composed of two main ministries MOI and MOST and some other members from various ministries. The main responsibilities of Steering Committee are: ü Establishing National Strategy and long term program for nuclear power development. ü Pre-feasibility Study on first NPP. q In 2003, The National Assembly assigned the MOST to formulate Atomic Energy Law. This Law was approved by National Assembly in 6/2008). BCĐT-ĐHN-NT 1 5

7 2. Nuclear Power in Energy Policy – Why nuclear ? • (Power or primary energy portfolio) • (Power, fossil fuel demand supply forecast) • (Current status in balance of supply and demand) -> Why we need nuclear? -> How much by when? BCĐT-ĐHN-NT 1 7

2. Nuclear Power in Energy Policy – Why nuclear ? • Primary Energy supply upto 2020 – Coal: 75 -79 Mtons/year, for electrical production 51 Mtons/y. – Crude oil: 16 – 21 Mtons/year. – Gas: 15 -16, 5 Bm 3/year, for electrical production 14 -15 Bm 3/year. – Hydro Power: 60 Bill. KWh/year. – Renewable energy ( small hydro, solar, …): 1000 MW • . . . upto 2025 – Coal : 110 Mt/year – Crude oil: 18 – 22 Mt/year – Gas : ~16, 5 Bm 3/year. – Hydro : ~70 -80 B. KWh/year. – Renewable energy ( small hydro, solar, …): Small hydro Wind Solar Biomas Geo Thermal Total 2007 MW GWh 410 851 0 0 0, 8 small 150 small 0 0 560 ~900 upto 2020 MW TWh 2800 800 -1000 4 -6 11, 3 13, 7 250 -400 200 3554 -4306 upto 2025 MW TWh 9500 30, 5 BCĐT-ĐHN-NT 1 8

2. Nuclear Power in Energy Policy – Why nuclear ? ENERGY SUPPLY AND DEMAND: • Upto 2015: Can be able meet the demand for production of electricity. • Upto 2020 : lacking of primary energy for production of electricity: 49 -112 Billion k. Wh -> should have a solution. • Upto 2030: lacking of primary energy for production of electricity: 117 -218 Billion k. Wh. BCĐT-ĐHN-NT 1 9

2. Nuclear Power in Energy Policy – Why nuclear ? Save on Energy? Imported Fuel? Imported Energy? Or alternative solution (NPP)? ? BCĐT-ĐHN-NT 1 10

2. Nuclear Power in Energy Policy – Why nuclear ? - High case - Base case - Low case 2011 -2015 ~ 17% ~ 15% ~ 13% 2016 -2020 2021 -2025 12, 8 % 8, 4% 10, 7 % 8, 1% 9, 7 % 7, 7% BCĐT-ĐHN-NT 1 11

12 Quantitative effect of introduction of nuclear power 1/ Long term strategy • To enhance the energy diversity and energy security. • CO 2 emission reduction: NPP emits almost no greenhouse gases. • To contribute to National technical and technological capacity building, infrastructure development, industry growth) 2/Project opinion: • Electricity supply. • Competitiveness with imported fossil fuel.

2. Nuclear Power in Energy Policy – Why nuclear ? Based on IAEA guideline: site selection process for NPP was carried out in 3 phases as follows: § Phase 1 - Analysis area and select a potential site; § Phase 2 – Screening of potential site and select a candidate site. § Phase 3 – Compare, ranking for candidate site. Phase 1 and phase 2 were carried out in period 19962000 under project “ General study for development of Nuclear Power Plant in Vietnam” BCĐT-ĐHN-NT 1 15
