jamesbrock Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) ...and is set to receive the one of the ten Nuclear Industry Summit Awards, the Atoms for Peace Award, for Thailand’s proper regulation and use of nuclear technology. Co-recipients of the Atoms for Peace Award are Federative Republic of Brazil, Republic of Chile, Czech Republic, Kingdom of Denmark, Georgia, Hungary, Republic of Korea, United Mexican States, Republic of the Philippines, Romania, Kingdom of Spain, Kingdom of Sweden, Republic of Turkey, Ukraine, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Fixed. An award, not the award as the propaganda article implies.

Srikcir Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 This award is basically a good behavior gold star. Thailand has no nuclear power plant for electrical production. Its 2MW plant built in 2008 is one-sixth the capacity of the world's smallest commercial nuclear reactor. It is used only for Isotope production, Gem irradiation, Diagnostics and Neutronic research.
