  1. Nuclear Technology Transfer- Malaysian Experience NAHRUL KHAIR Alang Md Rashid, Ph.D. Deputy Director General (R&D), Agensi Nuklear Malaysia President, Malaysian Nuclear Society 15th Pacific Basin Nuclear Conference, 15-20 October, Sydney, Australia

  2. A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step…

  3. Nuclear Technology Landscape Formation of Malaysian Nuclear Society • 1987 Establishment of Atomic Energy Licensing Board • 1985 Establishment of national nuclear research institute • 1972

  4. http://www.nuklearmalaysia.org Malaysian Nuclear Society • 465 members • 3 chapters • RadTech Malaysia • Xapp Malaysia • Student Chapter • Publications • Journal of Nuclear and Related Technologies • Buletin Nuklear Malaysia • MoC with ANS; MoU with CNS

  5. Since 2002 – remembering H&N, student outreach program ACXRI  ICXRI since 2003, next is Nov 2006 RadTech Asia Conference 2002, July 2007 @ KLCC INC ’02, ’05; planned 2008 IMRP, Jan 2006 @ Hilton KL http://www.nuklearmalaysia.org Selected Events

  6. Public Acceptance- non-technical entry barrier Awareness Acceptance know of its existence, have heard of it Accept Not Sure Reject Information know what is it what is it for • Language • Source • Rational • Mindset

  7. Nuclear power Welcome by both: for and hardcore against

  8. Nuclear power: Don't let Chernobyl deter us • 22 Aug 2006 • I REFER to the views of Ronald McCoy in "Weigh pros and cons carefully" (NST, Aug 16) on nuclear energy.There are currently more than 440 nuclear power reactors operating in the world, generating about 17 per cent of the world's electricity needs. Certainly, one accident (at Chernobyl), out of this population of nuclear reactors cannot be taken to represent the character of the technology. In statistical terms, one point in several hundreds cannot be used for generalisation.Technological advancement has enabled the operating life of existing nuclear power plants to be extended, resulting in the reduction of additional plants. Through standardisation, the construction period of a nuclear power plant has also been reduced to within five years, reducing the cost of financing the plant. Dismissing the use of any particular technology just because of one tragedy can be counterproductive and harmful to our future. The unfortunate events at Hiroshima and Nagasaki 61 years ago did not stop nuclear technology from being used in many applications, from medical to environmental monitoring and preservation. The only use of nuclear fuel is for the production of electricity, whereas oil as fuel has multiple uses. Would it not be wise to use the single-purpose item and save as much as the multiple-purpose resource for future generations?

  9. Perception & Judgment Car, any other accident  human error, reckless driver Nuclear accident/ incident  bad, dangerous technology

  10. Perception & FactPerception is the truth

  11. Agensi Nuklear Malaysia • Until last week known as MINT • 1972 – 1980 • Human capital development • Facility design & construction • 1980 – 1990 • Construction, O&M system development • Mid 80: facility operation and R&D – aligning to non-power nuclear technology applications • Current emphasis • Enhancement of technology transfer • Sustainability and growth • Nuclear power…

  12. Facilities • 1 MW TRIGA MkII reactor • NAA, NR, SANS, experiment & training • Co-60 irradiation facility • Sterilization, vulcanization, mutation breeding • Gamma greenhouse • Chronic irradiation for mutation breeding • EBM • Crosslinking, surface coating, sterilization

  13. Facilities (ctd..) • Radioactive Waste Treatment Centre • Treatment and conditioning of LLW, storage of I-LLW + radioactive sources, incineration • Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory • Radiation dose assessment, calibration of radiation sources/ measuring instruments

  14. R&D • Policy-guided, demand-driven, top-down • National focus areas (advanced material, advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, ICT, nanotechnology, renewable energy) • Major research groups in agrotechnology & biosciences, industrial technology, medical technology, radiation processing, waste and environment technology

  15. Technology Transfer • Transfer into • Bilaterals (AUL, JPN) • Multilateral (IAEA, RCA, FNCA) • Transfer within • Technology transfer & commercialization program (direct provision of services, technology/know-how licensing, IP licensing, joint venture research/ development)

  16. Core Activities Technology Transfer & Commercialization Research & Technology Development Corporate Support

  17. Technology to Market Chain TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT SUPPORT SERVICES PLANNING RESEARCH LABORATORIES DEMONSTRATION FACILITIES END USERS IDENTIFY RESEARCH DEVELOP BUILD OPERATE UTILISE MARKET SCAN RESEARCH ACQUIRE UTILISE BUILD ESTABLISH ENHANCE DEVELOP

  18. Major milestones in technology transfer/ commercialization • 1986 – First provision of services to end users • 1988 – Trust Fund to keep revenue • 1992 – Quality certification schemes • 1995 – Introduction of technology transfer/ commercialization unit • 2002 – launching of Intellectual Property Policy/ Manual • 2003 – preparation of blueprints for several new initiatives (biotechnology, Waste to Wealth), incorporating the concept of fusion of technologies.

  19. Conclusion • Technology transfer into the country has been able to build-up local capability and capacity to adopt, adapt, and innovate. • Technology transfer and commercialization has been able to demonstrate the relevance and contribution of nuclear technology to society – positive image, conditioning for NP • Second wave of technology transfer would be necessary to build human capital and capability for future possibility of introducing NPP
