BANGKOK, 28 March 2016 (NNT) – The Prime Minister will be joining the Nuclear Industry Summit (NIS) 2016 in the United States, echoing Thailand’s intention to cooperate in nuclear security, and is set to receive the Nuclear Industry Summit Awards for Thailand’s proper regulation and use of nuclear technology.


The Government Deputy Spokesman Maj Gen Weerachon Sukhonthapatipak has revealed that Prime Minister Gen Prayuth Chan-o-cha will be attending NIS 2016 in Washington DC, the United States, during 31 March - 1 April 2016.

NIS 2016 is the 4th instance of the summit and Gen Prayuth will be representing Thailand among the attendance of 50 global leaders, including Canada, France, Brazil, Japan, and India.

...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.

Thailand to receive the Nuclear Industry Summit Awards, which reflects Thailand’s proper management and implementation of nuclear technology.

Please tell him not to touch anything on display!

We need him to visit the Electric Train Industry Summit Awards to receive the Oscar for outstanding maintenance and safety.

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.

Thailand has a 2 MW nuclear reactor and has had one since 1961...so No not as only in X-ray machines, but they do have them also

they also produce isotopes for medicine and industrial use as well

1961...not 2008
