1st day

On November 11, 2019 (Monday) the educational plant tour of the BS mechanical

engineering held. It started at 3 am call time at technological university of the

Philippines campus. The transportation is divided by 4 buses and 2 vans and each has

1 professor/advisor and 3 tour guide speaker. The day started with a tocilog breakfast

on board at 4am and a snack of monde mammon together with 1 bottle of water

(summit). Well it is not bad I should say to start a morning since it will be a long trip from

Manila to Bataan.

We arrive at Bataan nuclear power plant at 9 in the morning. It started with orientations

about safety and a brief history of the place. They introduce the different energy source

for renewable energy like the solar power plant, biomass energy, wind turbine,

geothermal energy, and the hydroelectric energy and for non- renewable energy are the

coals, natural gas, fossil fuel, and of course the nuclear energy which is their specialty.

They use uranium as their fuel and did you know that 1 pellet of this is can produce

300kw of power consumption that can light a single house for 8 months. The program

started in 1958 with the creation of the PAEC under republic act 2067 under the regime

of martial law, former Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos in July 1973 announces to

build a nuclear power plant. But the plant never opened due to issues regarding

corruption and safety, compounded by the fear following the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.

It was so compelling to know how much money wasted about this project and also the

opportunity that it might make if this project succeeds.
