VOICED: Philippines considers reviving 'white elephant' nuclear plant

The video discusses the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant in the Philippines, built during the Marcos era at a cost of $2.3 billion but never operational due to safety concerns. Despite its completion in 1986, political and safety issues prevented its activation. Current proposals suggest starting the plant, but challenges include geological risks and lack of trained personnel. The video also highlights the growing interest in nuclear energy in Southeast Asia, with countries like Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia considering nuclear options.
