1. Legal and Regulatory System and International Commitments 2. Industrial Infrastructure and Commerce 3. Technology Development and Transfer and Human Resources Development 4. Nuclear Safety and Environment Protection 5. Public Relations and Public Acceptance 6. Nuclear Power Utility Planning

21 Legal and Regulatory System
Legal affairs, regulatory system and international commitments relevant to the use of nuclear power for electricity generation The study on the pattern of the regulation body establishment, the amendment to related laws and regulations with a view to constructing a nuclear power plant

22 Industrial Infrastructure and Commerce
The industrial infrastructure and commerce for the preparation of electricity generation from nuclear power The economic and financial analyses related to the establishment of the industrial infrastructure and the improvement of the domestic fundamental industrial potential

23 Technology Transfer and Human Resources Development
Technology transfer and development of nuclear power technology for electricity generation and related industries, at both domestic and international / interregional levels Human resources development planning in all aspects to be prepared for electricity generation from nuclear power

24 Nuclear Safety and Environment
Development of guidelines on nuclear safety and environmental protection for the preparation of the feasibility study on electricity generation from nuclear power

25 Public Relations The build-up of knowledge accurate understanding and acceptance of the general public with regard to the development and promotion of nuclear power deployment for electricity generation

26 Nuclear Power Utility Planning
The preparation of organizational structure to accommodation electricity generation from nuclear power The planning for the selection of appropriate nuclear power plant technology and manufacturers The planning related to nuclear safety, fuel management, radioactive waste, waster and protection of environmental effects of a nuclear power plant construction The implementation of project feasibility study and site selection for nuclear power plant construction The undertaking of a study on energy economics and financial planning for a nuclear power utility The planning for power plant designing, construction, system trial and operation as well as the decommissioning of a nuclear power utility

27 Current Status of NPP Program
Technology Transfer Infrastructure Safety Control Waste Management HRD Public Understanding Feasibility Study Siting EIA Studies Nuclear Regulator Body Legislation Technology Development

28 Conclusion Thailand; increased confidence in economical and safe operation of nuclear plan will likely be demonstrated and recognized. This in turn will also increase confidence in nuclear waste management. Natural Resource (Gas, Oil) have been diminished AS the concern over the global climate change grows in magnitude, nuclear power because an environmentally desirable source of energy. Nuclear energy should remain as an option in the long-term energy strategies.
