IAEA Technical Meeting/Workshop
on Topical Issues on Infrastructure Development
9-12 February 2010
Mr. Chavalit Pichalai, Deputy Director Nuclear Power Program Development Office (NPPDO)
Ministry of Energy, Thailand
Managing the Development of a National Infrastructure
for the Nuclear Power in Thailand
2
1. Intensify Energy Development for Greater Self-reliance expediting investment in E&P of energy within the country, in JDAs and in neighboring countries.
2. Set the Policy on Alternative Energy as a National Agenda by encouraging production and use of alternative energy, particularly biofuels and biomass, to enhance energy security; encouraging production & use of RE at the community level; expediting greater use of NG in the transportation sector; and promoting R&D of all forms of RE.
Thailand’s Energy Policy (PM Abhisit Administration)

3. Supervise & Maintain Energy Prices at appropriate, stable & affordable levels by setting appropriate price structure; managing prices through market mechanism and Oil Fund; and encouraging competition and investment in energy business.
4. Promote Serious and Continuous Energy Conservation and Efficiency focusing the transportation, industrial, service & household sectors, by setting energy efficiency standards of electrical appliances & buildings and supporting development of mass public transportation and rail systems.
5. Promote Energy Production & Consumption concurrently with Environmental Protection giving importance to tackling of global warming by promoting CDM projects.

Phase 1 :Pre-project Activity Phase- approve NPIPC - set up NPPDO- infrastructure work started- survey of potential sites- feasibility study completed- public information & participation
Phase 2 :Program Implementation Phase- implement NPIEP Milestones- full NRB established- legislation & international protocols enacted- suitable sites for bid selected- technology /qualified suppliers selected
Phase 3 :Construction Phase- NPIEP fully implemented- biding process completed- design & engineering- manufacturing- construction & installation- test runs & inspection- NPP commissioning license
Phase 4 :Operation Phase- commercial operation- O & M- planning for expansion- industrial and technology development plan

Progress of Nuclear Development Program
Sub-Committee on Legal, Regulatory and International Protocols
Chairman of this sub-committee is secretary general of OAP.
In 2010 NPPDO and OAP will conduct a study project to improve present law enforcing “Atoms for Peace Act 1961” and its regulation last issued in 1997 which aim at drafting NRB law covering key issues such as organization structure and functions, criteria for civil liabilities, international protocols, safety etc.
EGAT/ Burns and Roe Asia,Ltd. feasibility study will end at May 2010 with conclusion on technical and safety aspects, technical aspects, safety aspects, security and safeguards of NPP.

1 program: dissemination of nuclear power knowledge with 8 seminars in Bangkok and provinces
11 Programs:
Plan to be launched consecutively with 2009 projects but will emphasize on more various groups e.g. children, young blood, candidate sites surrounded communities etc.
9 programs: public communications, knowledge dissemination to communities, medias, participating organizations

• During 12-22 May, 2009: a visit of 2 IAEA experts, Dr. Poong Eil Juhn from Korea and Dr. Ioan Rotaru from Romania visited Bangkok with gaining experiences of NPP development in Korea and Romania. The 2 experts had also observed and recommended on preparedness of Thailand based on IAEA’s 19 issues.
• During “Milestone 1” NPPDO in collaboration with Ministry of Energy, OAP and EGAT, by their experts and working team had attended technical visited to NPP in China, Japan, Korea etc. and also international conference at IAEA office in Vienna.
• During 27-29 January 2010, a conference in Bangkok between IAEA expert, Mr. Masahiro AOKI and OAP/EGAT/NPPDO for project review meeting for THA 4015 “Technical support for upgrading /establishment of infrastructure for introduction of nuclear power”.
• In July and October 2010, NPPDO plan to invite IAEA expert twice for discussion and review preparedness and readiness of Thailand on NPP project before government approval in 1st Quarter 2011.
Perspectives from experienced countries and vendors on Nuclear Power Program
Conclusions
• Developing the basic Infrastructures to support the NPP Project
• Focusing on Public Information and Awareness
• Preparing the “Readiness” Report • Making decision to proceed the NPP Project
