IAEA Pledges Technical Guidance For The Philippines

The effort of the Philippines to lay the foundation for the intended integration of nuclear power into the national grid got a boost from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which pledged technical guidance to the government, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

As the Philippines actively lays the foundation for the integration of nuclear power into its national grid, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has pledged technical guidance to support the government once it opens dedicated green energy auctions (GEAs) for the technology.

IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi told Manila Bulletin last Monday, June 8, that the Vienna-headquartered agency is ready to assist in the Philippines’ nuclear auction process, provided that the legal and regulatory groundwork for the country’s nuclear framework is clearly established and moving forward.

Citing his visit to Manila in November last year, Grossi noted that advisory support on the auction framework was among the topics discussed during his meeting with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. regarding bilateral nuclear cooperation.

“We have also discussed the possibility of providing advice in terms of the bidding process. So there’s a range of things where the IAEA will be able to contribute,” the IAEA chief said.

The Department of Energy (DOE), through its Nuclear Energy Program Inter-Agency Committee (NEP-IAC), said last year that it is studying an auction mechanism specific to nuclear energy, which would be treated similarly to the government’s existing GEA Program (GEAP). Patrick Aquino, technical secretariat head of NEP-IAC, previously said that overcoming legal challenges would allow the government to begin consultations on a nuclear auction.

Last November, the IAEA signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Manila-based multilateral lender Asian Development Bank (ADB) to establish a framework supporting nuclear energy development in the Philippines, including the potential deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs).

The agreement includes knowledge-sharing and technical capacity-building initiatives, energy planning, nuclear fuel cycle management, radioactive waste management, and assistance throughout the life cycle of nuclear facilities.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the government of the Philippines will be able to establish the foundation of integrating nuclear power into the national grid before the term of President Marcos ends in mid-2028? Do you think the IAEA’s pledge of support will accelerate the nuclear-related developments in the country?

US Embassy Official Says Philippines Can Lead Nuclear Energy Renaissance With Skilled Workforce

An official of the United States Embassy stated that the Philippines can play a huge role in the global nuclear energy renaissance if it could develop successfully a skilled and capable workforce, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

The Philippines can play a leading role in the global nuclear energy renaissance if it succeeds in developing a skilled workforce capable of supporting a safe, secure, and modern nuclear sector, a United States (US) Embassy official said on Thursday, June 11.

During the Nuclear Workforce Educational Forum at the University of Makati, US Embassy Counselor for Public Diplomacy Jessica Simon said workforce development remains key to the country’s civil nuclear ambitions, with the United States helping build that talent pool through the Fulbright Program in the Philippines.

“Today’s forum reflects a shared aspiration: that the Philippines will not simply observe the global nuclear energy renaissance, it will help lead it,” she said.

“Central to building a safe, secure, and modern nuclear sector is a skilled workforce. Through the Fulbright Program in the Philippines, the United States is building this workforce together with you,” she went on.

Simon said the Philippines and the United States are marking 80 years of diplomatic relations this year, providing an opportunity to strengthen cooperation in areas that could shape the future of both countries, including civil nuclear development.

“This year, the Philippines and the United States celebrate 80 years of our diplomatic relationship. It’s a chance to look back and celebrate all we’ve accomplished together. It’s also a chance to look forward, to consider everything we can accomplish together over the next 80 years,” she said.

“If anything meets that goal, it’s the work the Philippine American Educational Foundation is doing in support of the Philippines’ civil-nuclear development,” she added.

The forum was organized by the Philippine-American Educational Foundation (PAEF), also known as Fulbright Philippines, under its Freedom 250 initiative, which commemorates the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States in 2026.

Per Simon, the initiative seeks to foster cross-sector dialogue on issues relevant to both countries by bringing together government agencies, academic institutions, and private-sector stakeholders.

She said the US Mission and PAEF have been working with agencies such as the Department of Energy, Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), as well as private energy companies, through programs such as the International Visitor Leadership Program, Fulbright Specialists, and Speaker Programs.

The development of a nuclear workforce, she said, requires contributions from all levels of expertise, from researchers and engineers to skilled technicians.

“At the heart of today’s forum is a simple but powerful insight: building a nuclear workforce requires a full-stack approach,” Simon said.

“Every layer matters, from PhD researchers to licensed engineers to skilled technicians. Neglect the technician layer, and you build a system that looks impressive on paper but cannot function in practice,” she added.

Simon urged participants to translate the discussions into concrete institutional action as the Philippines explores the development of its nuclear energy sector.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the Philippines has what it takes to fully develop a skilled workforce that is capable of supporting a safe, secure, and modern nuclear sector?

Forty years after the Chernobyl disaster, a science writer explains what went wrong with the nuclear power facility and why. Long answer short, it was Soviet hubris, and fossil fuels are still much more dangerous than nuclear.

☢️ Radiation monitoring
Today's reading: 0.26 µSv/h

Scale:
< 1 µSv/h – don't worry
1–10 µSv/h – OK briefly, not long-term
> 10 µSv/h – take action (limit time)
> 100 µSv/h – genuinely dangerous (leave)
> 1000 µSv/h (= 1 mSv/h) – high risk for longer stay

What I measure:
– gamma (γ) radiation
– beta (β) particles
– X-ray radiation

#RadiationMonitoring #GeigerCounter #NuclearSafety #BackgroundRadiation

If there's one industry that should definitely NOT adopt Silicon Valley's "move fast, break things" culture it's nuclear power. Oh wait, too late.

Well, if there's one person who shouldn't be in charge of nuclear safety it's Donald Trump himself. Oh wait, too late.

This is gonna go great.

Radiační monitoring

Dnešní stav: 0.31 µSv/h

Škála:
< 1 µSv/h - neřeš
1–10 µSv/h - ok krátce, dlouhodobě ne
> 10 µSv/h - už řešit (omezit čas)
> 100 µSv/h - už fakt nebezpečné (odejít)
> 1000 µSv/h (= 1 mSv/h) - vysoké riziko při delším pobytu

Co měřím?
– gama (γ) záření
– beta (β) částice
– rentgenové (X-ray) záření
