Question

 

Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song: To ask the Minister for Trade and Industry (a) whether Singapore has plans to stockpile uranium to secure energy sources ahead of other countries shifting towards nuclear energy; and (b) what preparations are being made to prepare a core of local talent to enter this industry.


Oral Answer (to be attributed to Second Minister for Trade and Industry Dr Tan See Leng)


1. The Government has not made any decision regarding the deployment of nuclear energy in Singapore. As such, we have no plans for uranium stockpiling. Any deployment decision will require detailed studies of the safety, reliability, affordability, and environmental sustainability of nuclear energy in our local context. We are therefore steadily building capabilities to better understand and assess global developments on advanced nuclear energy technologies.
