Philippines - discussion of deadlines
Two officials of the Department of Energy of the Philippines, who spoke with reporters, are confident that the country is able to start implementing nuclear energy projects in three years, if the next government considers nuclear energy a priority goal. This is stated in the publication in Philstar.com. Recall that at the end of February 2022, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte signed Executive Order No.164 recognizing the role of nuclear energy in the country energy balance. It is too late for the current government to do anything in the nuclear direction, since new presidential elections will be held in about a month, in which Duterte does not take part.

This critical analysis of the history, state, and prospects of development of modern nuclear technologies shows that nuclear energy market has practically monopolized the design and construction of only one type of reactors (95% of NPPs under construction use pressurized water reactors), which necessitates training of focused specialists involved in the construction and operation of those nuclear power plants.
