HANOI: The development of nuclear power plays an important role in achieving energy security and achieving net-zero, but thorough study is needed to evaluate feasibility and ensure absolute safety, Deputy Industry and Trade Minister Nguyen Sinh Nhat Tan says.
Speaking at the ministry’s quarterly press conference last Wednesday, Tan was responding to questions related to a proposal of the draft amendment to the Law on Electricity about the government’s monopoly in developing nuclear power projects, which signals that Vietnam is planning to resume the policy of developing nuclear power.
