A conference was held in the central province of Ninh Thuan on
July 1 to discuss environmental management before commencing the
construction of a nuclear power plant in the province.
The four-day function will concentrate on three main issues, including
the assessment of environmental impacts and environmental management,
radioactivity monitoring and safety.
According to
experts from the Japan Electric Power Information Centre (JEPIC),
radioactive and non-radioactive waste generated in the process of
building and operating nuclear power plants needs to be strictly
controlled in order to protect local people from the detrimental impacts
of radiation.
They suggested developing a report
that fully evaluates the environmental effects and includes a number of
solutions to protect the environment.
The event
was jointly organised by the Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power Plant project
management board and the JEPIC under the Japan International Cooperation
Centre (JICC).-VNA
