Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry whether the Government is planning to conduct another pre-feasibility study on nuclear energy, specifically, on the use of small modular reactors in Singapore, given technological advances since the last study in 2012.
Mr Gan Kim Yong: The Government has not made any decision on the deployment of nuclear energy in Singapore or to conduct another pre-feasibility study on nuclear energy. While newer technologies, such as small modular reactors, could potentially be suitable for Singapore, they remain at a nascent stage and have not been deployed on a commercial scale yet. We are focusing on building capabilities to better assess the suitability of these technologies for Singapore.
