description: "Singapore will conduct an Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review in 2027 to assess its readiness for advanced nuclear energy technologies, evaluating 19 areas including safety and waste management. The government has not yet decided on adopting nuclear energy, emphasizing careful consideration of safety, reliability, affordability, and environmental sustainability. Currently, 95% of electricity is generated from imported natural gas, with solar energy projected to meet less than 10% of demand by 2050. The country is also exploring electricity imports from several Southeast Asian nations."

# Singapore to undergo 2027 int’l review on advanced nuclear readiness

**The assessment will evaluate 19 core areas, including safety and waste management.**

Singapore will undertake an Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review Phase 1 Mission in 2027 to assess whether it has sufficient capabilities to make an informed decision on deploying advanced nuclear energy technologies.

The assessment will be conducted using the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Milestones Approach framework.

Under the IAEA framework, 19 areas will be assessed, including nuclear safety management, radioactive waste handling, and emergency preparedness.

The review will evaluate Singapore’s progress in developing capabilities related to nuclear science, safety, and regulation.

In a statement by the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, the government has not decided on adopting nuclear energy, adding that it will monitor global developments and work with international partners to strengthen capabilities in nuclear safety and regulation.

"Any decision to deploy nuclear energy will be carefully considered against its safety, reliability, affordability, and environmental sustainability in Singapore’s context," it added.

Around 95% of the country’s electricity is currently generated using imported natural gas. Meanwhile, solar energy is expected to meet less than 10% of electricity demand by 2050 due to land limitations.

In addition, Singapore is pursuing electricity imports from countries including Australia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. By 2035, up to one-third of the electricity supply could come from imports.

"Renewable electricity supply from other countries is also weather dependent, and subject to supply chain disruptions," the ministry said.
