Abstract

Since early civilization, humans have required energy. Energy grows increasingly important with globalization. The search for energy sets nuclear power as the highest priority for generating electricity. The need to delay global warming initiated a nuclear power plant using a nuclear reactor as its source of thermal energy to generate pollution-free electrical currents. Many countries see the important advantages of nuclear power plants, and Thailand plans nuclear power plant projects (NPP) to be built by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT). These projects have improved, and the latest Power Development Plan 2010–2030 (PDP 2010) states that by 2023, Thailand will build nuclear power plants with electrical productivity of about 4000MW. The plants will generate commercial electricity for domestic consumption with plans to increase productivity in preparation for Thailand's economic growth and its participation in the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). These efforts stem from investments in domestic and international industrial businesses in order to impress foreign countries with Thailand's energy security policy. However, the Thai people are concerned with the impacts of nuclear power plants. The people of Thailand require societal awareness in the construction of these plants.
