Vietnam’s prime minister Pham Minh Chinh has told the National Assembly in Hanoi that his government had asked authorities to restart nuclear power projects, according to local press reports.
Chinh said this was to “ensure enough power for fast and sustainable socio-economic development in the long run”.
“If we aim at building an economic growth scenario with double digits, power needs will increase by 1.5 times,” he was reported as saying.
