00:00It is possible that the Department of Energy will ask for additional funds from the Office of the President
00:05even if the budget is not enough to compensate for the damaged lines of electricity in the aftermath of the typhoons.
00:11That is the first news of Bernadette Reyes.
00:18In the middle of the next typhoons, there are places that have no electricity according to the Department of Energy.
00:24We try to respond of course in the fastest way we can.
00:28But if you have a series, then you come in, you repair, you restore, and then hit, get hit again.
00:38It is also possible that the budget allocated for the compensation is not enough.
00:43We are prepared to not only to tap this fund.
00:47If it gets exhausted, to ask the Office of the President for additional funding.
00:53The Philippine International Nuclear Supply Chain Forum discussed the possible use of nuclear energy.
01:00Before this, the Philippines agreed on a framework for exporting nuclear material and equipment to the Philippines.
01:10A Korean company also agreed to study if the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant can still be used.
01:18We also do not have an obligation to contract or follow the recommendations.
01:22We will make the results public and we'll let the public decide.
01:27It will provide final closure for BNPP to rehab and operate if possible.
01:32If not, we will be given an alternative to build a new plant.
01:36What kind of plant? How much is it?
01:38The government agreed to the Moharlika Investment Fund to study how it will be spent.
01:44It is not clear if the single will go down because of that, but more than that,
01:48The requirements is that, one, we want to assure our people of the safety if we are to go on the nuclear power.
01:58And as we have also pointed out, there are newer technologies, safer technologies.
02:06Aside from building a comprehensive nuclear energy policy,
02:09America will also help in providing training and scholarships
02:13to increase the knowledge of Filipinos when it comes to nuclear energy.
02:18Building a safe, secure, civil nuclear industry, however, requires more than just technology and materials.
02:26It needs strong institutions, supportive policies, and a skilled workforce.
02:32The talent pool is limited and we hope to expand that by bringing adjunct professors here to these universities.
02:39We are putting up a seed fund of $100,000 to start the scholarship program on nuclear-related scholarships.
02:47This is the first news, Bernadette Reyes for GMA Integrated News.
