SINGAPORE – Should Singapore decide in future to adopt nuclear energy, the country could tap the energy source “within a few years” from that point, said the UN nuclear watchdog chief on July 25.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director-general Rafael Grossi said small modular advanced reactors are one option for the island state.
Singapore could also potentially develop a plant in collaboration with another country in Asean, he added.
