THE "ATOMS FOR PEACE" AGENCY

The IAEA is the world's center of cooperation in the nuclear

field. It was set up as the worlds "Atoms for Peace"
organization in 1957 within the United Nations family. The
Agency works with its Member States and multiple partners
worldwide to promote safe, secure and peaceful nuclear
technologies.

HISTORY OF THE INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC
ENERGY AGENCY ( IAEA)
The IAEA was proposed to set up by the US President. Dwight
Eisenhower in his famous speech, Atoms for Peace on 8
December 1953 and established in Vienna, Austria on 29 July 1957
when the Statute of the IAEA was in effect.

MALAYSIAN NUCLEAR AGENCY (1)
The establishment of Malaysian Nuclear
Agency (Nuclear Malaysia) was mooted
from idea of the then Malaysias Deputy
Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Ismail Dato
Abdul Rahman, that Malaysia should
play a role in the development of
nuclear science and technology for
peaceful purposes.
The Centre for Application of Nuclear
Energy (CRANE) was the entity to mark
the of Malaysias nuclear programme,
focussing on manpower development
for a nuclear power programme to
provide an option for energy source,

The Cabinet officially approved the
establishment of the Tun Ismail Atomic
Research Centre (PUSPATI), under the
Ministry of Science, Technology and the

The era of nuclear research in Malaysia
began with the historic event signified
by the Reaktor TRIGA PUSPATI reaching
its first criticality on 28 June 1982.

 MALAYSIAN NUCLEAR POWER CORPORATION

The government is studying the possibility of deploying

nuclear energy to meet future demand and diversify
the energy mix for Peninsular Malaysia.
To spearhead the initiative, the Malaysia Nuclear
Power Corporation has been formed to lead the
planning based on the current development timeline of
11 to 12 years, from pre-project to commissioning.
Dr Mohd Zamzam bin Jaafar has been appointed the
Chief Executive Officer of this newly established entity.
