KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is against the use of nuclear power to generate electricity as science has not been able to provide a safe way to dispose of the radioactive waste generated.

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said although nuclear plants are a cheap alternative to fossil fuels for producing electricity, they are still not safe.
