At the closing session of the 8th Session, the National Assembly voted to pass the Resolution of the 8th Session, 15th National Assembly, including the National Assembly's agreement to continue implementing the investment policy for the Ninh Thuan nuclear power project.
The National Assembly has assigned the Government to urgently direct the allocation of resources to implement the conclusions of competent authorities; study and amend relevant laws, including the Law on Atomic Energy.
Receiving this information, Mr. Tran Quoc Nam - Chairman of Ninh Thuan Provincial People's Committee affirmed that, together with the people of the whole country, the Party Committee, government and people of Ninh Thuan province highly agreed on the construction of the nuclear power project.
Talking about the policy of restarting nuclear power, Mr. Tran Quoc Nam emphasized that Ninh Thuan is honored to take on an important responsibility, being the place to ensure energy security in the new era of the country.
Mr. Tran Quoc Nam added that the locality is still waiting for the official Resolution of the National Assembly on investing in the nuclear power project. After that, the Government will have a roadmap for the work in the process of implementing the nuclear power project. Based on the Government's roadmap for building nuclear power, Ninh Thuan province will develop specific plans and work afterwards.
Regarding the concerns of people in Phuoc Dinh commune (Thuan Nam district) and Vinh Hai commune (Ninh Hai district) - where the Ninh Thuan 1 and 2 Nuclear Power Plants were planned to be built, Mr. Tran Quoc Nam said that people want to stabilize their production and living conditions.
“Stability here does not mean that people are stable at the old nuclear power plant planning location, but rather that if people are able to return to the resettlement site, the new relocation site for the state to build the plant, that must be the best,” Mr. Tran Quoc Nam shared.
