TARGET MILESTONES FOR NUCLEAR POWER DEVELOPMENT IN MALAYSIA

MILESTONE 1: JUNE 2009Ready to make a knowledgeable commitment

to a nuclear power programmeCabinet decision for nuclear energy to be a fuel option post-

2020.

MILESTONE 2: 2015Ready to invite bids for the first nuclear power plant

based on the timeline for EPP11 under OGE sector in the ETP.

MILESTONE 3 : 2021Ready to commission and operate the first nuclear power plantbased on the timeline for EPP11 under OGE sector in the ETP.
