RUSSIAN NUCLEAR FOR MALAYSIA
N - July 1, 2025 - A Malaysian delegation led by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof has concluded a four-day working visit to Russia. This came after Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s official visit to Moscow in May.
During the visit, the Malaysian delegation were shown Rosatom’s technologies at the Leningrad NPP and also visited the Atom Museum which shows the historical development of the Russia’s nuclear industry.
Fadilla Yusuf held talks with Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev after which a confidentiality agreement was signed between Rosatom and Malaysia’s MyPower Corporation – a special purpose agency under the Ministry of Energy Transition & Water Transformation. The agreement lays the groundwork for potential collaboration in the peaceful use of nuclear technology.
Bernama reported that this aligns with Malaysia’s ongoing assessment of its long-term energy strategy, particularly under the National Energy Transition Roadmap, where nuclear energy is reconsidered as a reliable and clean baseload option to diversify the energy mix and meet climate and energy security goals.
Malaysia had previously drawn up an ambitious nuclear development agenda, including plans to operate two NPPs by 2021. However, the programme was shelved and the Malaysian Nuclear Power Corporation disbanded in 2018. Now, faced with growing pressure to decarbonise and expand energy sources, nuclear power is again under active consideration. A newly completed pre-feasibility study revealed promising findings, prompting the government to explore implementation pathways that fully comply with international safety, security, and non-proliferation standards.
