Global warming reduction requires various forms of clean energy, one of which is nuclear power. However, many people are concerned about its safety due to past incidents. However, there is now a new technology called SMR (Small Modular Reactor), or small nuclear power plants that are less risky and distribute electricity to local areas efficiently. In the past few weeks, Google and Microsoft announced their investments in SMR, causing nuclear power plant stocks to surge. In addition, the draft of the country's electricity development plan, PDP 2024, is being considered for use in Thailand. What is SMR? Is it really worth it? What are the risks? And how will Thai people benefit from it? This episode of Secret Science talks with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Thawatchai Onchan, Director of the National Institute of Nuclear Technology (Public Organization) (NINT), and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sombun Rasmi, Lecturer in the Department of Nuclear Engineering.
