MANILA – The House Committee on Nuclear Energy has voted to approve a consolidated substitute bill for a comprehensive atomic regulatory framework, creating for the purpose the Philippine Atomic Regulatory Commission.
“There is no longer any legal impediment to build a nuclear power plant once this bill becomes a law. The passage of the bill through the committee is a critical step towards realizing cheap, clean, and affordable nuclear energy in the Philippines,” Pangasinan 2nd District Rep. Mark Cojuangco told the media.
