Pagpapaunlad ng nuke energy sa Pinas hiling sertipikahang ‘urgent’
MANILA, Philippines — Hiniling ni Senador Francis “Tol” Tolentino kay Pangulong Marcos na kagyat na sertipikahan ang mga panukalang batas na magpapalakas o magpapaunlad ng nuclear energy sa bansa.
Ginawa ni Tolentino ang apela matapos maiulat na nakipagpulong si Marcos sa mga pangunahing executive ng Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC) sa sideline ng trilateral summit ng US-Japan-Philippines sa Washington, DC.
“I thank President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. for hailing the Washington-based [USNC]’s commitment to the planned nuclear energy investment,” anang senador.
“With PBBM’s (President Bongbong Marcos) commitment to pursuing a reliable and clean energy source for the Philippines with USNC, I am requesting His Excellency to certify as urgent the Senate Bill (SB) No. 2545 or An Act Governing Civil Liabilities and Compensation Claims for Nuclear Damage, repealing certain sections of the Atomic Energy Regulatory and Liability Act of 1968 that I filed on February 13,” ayon sa senador.
“Likewise, I also urge PBBM to certify as urgent [SB No.] 1194, which provides a comprehensive nuclear regulatory framework, which I filed on August 16, 2022,” dagdag ni Tolentino.
Sinabi ni Tolentino na ang dalawang panukalang batas ng Senado ay naglalatag ng pundasyon para sa ligtas na pagpapaunlad ng enerhiyang nukleyar na titiyak sa “energy security, reduced reliance on fossil fuels, and greater economic progress.”
