NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Singapore, Singapore, 2010/07/30 - Southeast Asia’s governments and power companies will converge on Singapore’s inaugural nuclear power conference on Tuesday. Yukiya Amano is being hosted by Singapore so that he can deliver a powerful message of international responsibility.

IBC Asia’s inaugural Nuclear Power conference (nuclearpowercongress.com) brings the developers and regulators of nuclear power projects to discuss high-value investment into nuclear power in Asia. The conference will be opened by a speech from Dr. Yukiya Amano, 5th Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the leader of the world’s single most important nuclear power organization. The IAEA reports directly to the United Nations on the status of nuclear power programs worldwide.

Conference sessions will present a cohesive panel of governments (including the Senior Under Secretary of Energy for the Malaysian Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water) speaking on the very latest developments in their home countries as well as best practice case studies from the very best of leading edge utilities (including Tokyo Electric Power Company and Electricity of Vietnam)s involved in commercial nuclear power.

Asia and especially South-East Asia is growing rapidly in terms of infrastructure – and if you type “South-east Asian growth in power 2010” into Google, the top result is nuclear power. The pace of new nuclear build in Asia is picking up. China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corp. alone has six new nuclear power plants currently under construction, with a further two in the pipeline to begin construction over the next year.

South-east Asian countries see nuclear power as an end to the electricity deficits, the blackouts and productivity loss – it’s the key to accelerating growth even further and fulfilling the potential of Southeast Asian nations.
