Surin expects ASEAN member states to review nuclear power plant policies
BANGKOK, March 25 (TNA) - Dr Surin Pitsuwan, secretary-general of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) said he expected ASEAN member states to review their nuclear power plant policies following the nuclear plant crisis in Japan.
Surin spoke with reporters about nuclear power plant policies in Southeast Asia in the wake of the nuclear power plant crisis in Japan. He said many ASEAN member states that had nuclear power plant projects like Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines might review their policies.
Surin said ASEAN members might have to review their policies carefully. Although nuclear power is sustainable and clean, an unanticipated incident may cause serious problems as is currently happening in Japan. At the moment, European countries are reviewing their nuclear power plant policies.
The ASEAN secretary-general added that ASEAN has planned initial assistance for quake-torn Japan and that the earthquake might result in some industries been relocated from Japan to other countries. In this case, ASEAN member states must cooperatively work out measures to attract investors from Japan. (TNA)
