7 IS MALAYSIA NUCLEAR READY? Malaysia should continue to be nuclear ready Establishment of regulatory framework Public education to be intensified Feasibility study should proceed Construction takes 5-7 years, the tasks mentioned above are required before construction starts. Making Malaysia nuclear ready is essential. GO or NO-GO decision can be made when we are nuclear ready ~ 2015/2016 Source: TNB Nuclear Energy Unit 13 NUCLEAR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION & TRAINING Almost all public universities and a few private universities offers science, technology & engineering programs UKM offers nuclear science program undergraduate program since 1978 UTM offers health physics undergraduate program USM and UM offer postgraduate programs in medical physics Others offer nuclear Science & Technology as subject in Engineering, Science & Technology and Medical Courses

8 NUCLEAR ENGINEERING EDUCATION & TRAINING UTM started to offer Bachelor of Nuclear Engineering program in Annual intake of about 30 students UNITEN offer nuclear engineering elective courses to all engineering students in 2009 and plan to offer Nuclear engineering minor in 2014 UIAM plan to offer Bachelor of Engineering (Nuclear & Radiation) in 2014 UTHM plan to offer Master of Nuclear Engineering in collaboration with Malaysia Nuclear Agency (MNA) as sister campus MNA collaborates with all universities in Nuc Eng Education In 2012 Ministry of Higher Education commissioned a study on the Future Direction of Nuclear Engineering Education in Malaysia FACULTY OF PETROLEUM AND RENEWABLE ENERGY ENGINEERING (FPREE) UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA
