• Safety and environmental concerns
1. Ang BNPP ay depektibo, luma at di ligtas.
2. Ang reduksyon sa carbon emission ng BNPP ay maliit lamang sa konteksto ng buong mundo.
• Electricity alternatives
3. May iba pang mapapagkunan na indigenous energy (geothermal, natural gas, etc) ng elektrisidad para masagot ang kakulangan sa 2012.
4. Hindi ibig sabihin ng operasyon ng BNPP na maging mura ang elektrisidad.
• Economic costs
5. Ang pagpapaandar muli ng BNPP ay kukunin sa mamamayan at uutangin. Dadagdag ng 24.1 centavo/kWh sa singil sa kuryente at magiging ugat pa ng korupsyon ito
1. Safety and environmental concerns
Ang BNPP ay depektibo, luma at di ligtas.Maraming problema na kinalulugaran (site), sa lumang planta, at sa pagtatapon ng basurang nukleyar.
1.Nasa bulkang Natib ang BNPP
2.Geologically active ang paligid at wala pang malinaw na pagaaral sa mga faults na malapit sa BNPP
3.Matagal ang ilalagi ng nuclear waste sa mundo at wala pang solusyon sa pagtatago nito
4.May CO2 emission din ang nuclear plants
Ang Nuklear ay MASAMA, at ang BNPP ay MAPANGANIB

Hernandez-Santos January 12, 1977 report conclusion:
“… The above review has revealed the high risk potential for the protection of health and safety of the public if the proposed site is accepted. High probability earth motions associated with earthquakes due to the Manila Trench – West Luzon Trough displacements and presence of a probable fault in the plant location itself may lend to structural failures causing the release of radioactive materials from the nuclear power plant or may cause extensive damage to the plant.”

Nuclear fuel cycle
From slide by Meg Honrado, 2006
Ang nuclear plants ay gumagawa rin ng CO2.
Bawat kilowatt-hour na nangaling sa plantang nuklear ay gumawa ng 1/3 kadami sa nanggaling sa pagsunog ng natural gas. Ang pinakayaman na mga mina ay mabilis nauubos dahil sa pagdami ng mga plantang nuklear.Lalaki ang CO2 galing sa nuklear kasama sa pagbaba ang laman ng mga natitirang ore bodies.Magkapanahon na ang CO2 galing sa Uranium ayaabot sa nanggaling sa pagsunog ng fossil fuel.– J.W.S van Leeuwen and P. Smith, 2004, Nuclear Power – The Energy Balance. http://beheer.opvit.rug.nl/deenen/Nuclear_sustainability-rev3.doc
Power Shortage?
Quoting figures from the various updates of the Philippine Energy Plan from the DOE on their website, the projected shortage in 2012 can be addressed by building geothermal, hydro power, natural gas, wind, solar and coal plants even without the operation of the nuclear plant in Bataan if only government builds the necessary indicative capacity additions and develop and upgrade exisiting power plants.

Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA)
Direct cost to people: nuclear tax
The proposed bill would pass on the cost of the BNPP to ordinary consumers as a nuclear tax of P 0.10 per kilowatt hour for the total electric power generated in the country.
According to Section 22 of the Bill− “SEC. 22. Alternative Sources of Funding. – The State may raise equity through a
surcharge of PhP0.10/kWH of the total electric power generated in the country: Provided, That such collection of surcharge shall not exceed five (5) years from the date of its initial imposition. The funds collected shall be reimbursed to the electric consumers after such time that the BNPP shall commence commercial operations. The time frame for such reimbursement shall not exceed three (3) years. The State is also authorized to enter into international or domestic loan agreements to fund the implementation of this Act: Provided, That the total funds raised from the surcharge and the loan combined shall not exceed US$1 billion.”
De-facto nuclear tax of10 centavos per kWh
Direct cost to people: nuclear tax According to figures from the , the total electric
power sales in 2007 is 48,009 GigaWatt hours (1,000,000,000 or billion watt-hour) or 48,009 million kilowatt hours.
4 billion pesos per year or 100 M USD per year For five years, the total would be 20 billion pesos. For household of 300 kwh per month, you would
have to pay an additional of 30 pesos (no VAT yet) per month or a total of 1800 pesos for five years.
(DOE website)
PhP 20 B for five years = PhP 1800 per 300 kwh user
More loans and more costs The remaining 500 Million USD balance from
the projected one billion dollar cost is to be obtained by entering into international or domestic loan agreements.
Delays and interest repayments can drive this higher and become a new burden for the Filipino people.
Overnight capital cost (2008 $/kW) : 4038 USD 620 MW = 2.5 B USD (excluding interests)

Posibleng mas lalaki pa sa 500 M na paunang uutangin dahil sa interest at iba pang gastos
Decomissioning costs
• P 15.35 B for 30 years of operation set aside for decomissioning (0.002 USD/kWh) = 326 M USD
• Cleanup of Three Mile Island costs: TMI Dec 93 = 975 M USD
• Decommissioning costs in the US: $325 million per reactor all-up (1998 $), France 480 million euro (70MW), UK 32 MW power plant 117 M EUR, 100MW power plant, cost about 90 M
Kulang ang itinatabi para sa decomissioning
Waste disposal costs
• P 7.67 B for 30 years of operation set aside for decomissioning (0.001 USD/kWh) = 163 M USD
• These costs (decomissioning and waste disposal) shall be passed on to us by NAPOCOR or the concerned government agency
• Total addon cost: 0.003 USD = 0.1413 PHP
Kulang ang itinatabi para sa disposal
Total costs to be passed on to us? NPC either will absorb decomissioning costs or add it to
our generation rate For a 300 kWh household total for first 5 years
P 20B for five years = P 1800 pesos P 7.67 B for 30 years disposal cost (first 5 years) = P 847 P 15.35 B for 30 years decomissioning (first 5 years) = P 1696
First five years = Additional of 4343 pesos Or equivalent to additional 72 pesos per month!
Remaining costs to be collected throughout the lifetime of the plant: 42 pesos per month
Dagdag na singil ng 72 pesos kada buwan at dagdag na 500M++ USD na utang
Global Financial Crisis The projected peak demand for 2012 should be
recomputed to include the effects of the global economic crisis and recession.
There should be a second look at the growth projections used in the simulation for the 2012 targets due to the global economic crisis that is expected to foster GDP growth in 2009 to be only half or even less than in 2007 which would be the slowest since at least 2001. We need not rush and nor make “IMMEDIATE” the reopening the nuclear plant.
Bagong targets dahil sa krisis: mabagal ang ekonomiya

Stable supply = lower rates?
Having a stable or even a surplus of electricity capacity does not necessarily translate to lower energy costs. In recent years when we had an energy oversupply, power rates have still gone up due to one-sided contracts and the pass-on provisions of EPIRA.
Surplus and yet electricity prices is around 8.75 pesos per kWh!! (included are VAT, IPP contract costs, systems losses, etc; to be included NPC stranded debts, etc)
May iba pang mapapagkunan ng baseload power
Nuclear plants are said to be able to supply baseload power as opposed to renewable energy, which can supply only a fraction of the energy demand. We need to develop and expand geothermal to supply baseload capacity in our energy mix as well as funding and developing energy-storage solutions that can compensate for the disadvantages of wind and solar power.
