Vital for Singapore to build knowledge on nuclear power, safety: DPM Wong. The city-state has stepped up its research around nuclear energy in recent years.

Thursday, Wong and French President Emmanuel Macron launched the France-Singapore Joint Year of Sustainability (JYOS), a series of events and initiatives from April 2024 to mid-2025, that highlights both countries’ cooperation in sustainable development and the green transition.

Asked by Business Times if nuclear energy could be of interest under the JYOS, Wong said: “Nuclear cooperation is certainly on the table. But it’s not so much about ‘let’s identify a nuclear project’, b'cos we have not even decided to adopt nuclear power for Singapore.”

Instead, Singapore is interested in enhancing its knowledge and capabilities on nuclear power, he added.
