An official from the Department of Science and Technology- Philippine Nuclear Research Institute bared that the only thing that prevents the proper disposal of nuclear waste is public acceptance.
Piquero made the statement as officials and experts from the Department of Science and Technology- Philippine Nuclear Research Institute gave the public assurance on the availability of several science-based interventions that would properly manage the country’s nuclear waste. Meanwhile, in her presentation, Kristine Marie Romallosa-Dean, head of DOST-PNRI’s Radiation Protection Services, said that the Institute has different services that can ensure the safety of the workers. It includes calibration, personal monitoring, radiation control services, and dose registry.
She added that nuclear energy can be one of the best solutions in terms of energy supply security as well as the economic benefits. She hopes that we can highlight its benefits and manage the risks. “Finland is the first country that is almost finished constructing its repository or nuclear waste disposal for high-level waste and it is a success story. It highlighted the social acceptance as they overcome the barriers and the reason for that is trust in our institution or operators,” said Dean.
