Previously, after the Party Central Committee agreed to restart Vietnam's nuclear power program and continue the Ninh Thuan nuclear power project, the Government submitted a document to the National Assembly on continuing the investment policy for the Ninh Thuan nuclear power project.
In the submission, the Government said that considering the development of nuclear power sources in Vietnam is necessary to diversify supply sources, ensure energy security; at the same time, meet the dual task of both providing baseload electricity and being a green, sustainable source of electricity, achieving the goal of net zero emissions by 2050.
According to the Government, the previous construction sites for the Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power Plant have been carefully surveyed and evaluated by domestic and foreign consultants, and are the two best locations, meeting strict international criteria, suitable for building a nuclear power plant in Vietnam.
Therefore, using the previously researched nuclear power plant construction sites in Ninh Thuan province to develop and build nuclear power in the future is very convenient, saving time and costs in research, survey, and site selection.
In Resolution 41 of 2009 of the 12th National Assembly, the National Assembly decided to invest in the Ninh Thuan nuclear power project, including 2 plants (Ninh Thuan 1 and Ninh Thuan 2), each plant has 2 units with a total investment capital of about 200,000 billion VND (at the time of project establishment in late 2008).
The capacity of the two plants is over 4,000 MW, each plant is about 2,000 MW. As planned, construction of Ninh Thuan 1 Nuclear Power Plant will start in 2014 and the first unit will be put into operation in 2020.
Ninh Thuan 1 Nuclear Power Plant is located in Phuoc Dinh Commune, Thuan Nam District, Ninh Thuan Province; Ninh Thuan 2 Nuclear Power Plant is located in Vinh Hai Commune, Ninh Hai District, Ninh Thuan Province.
In the submission, the Government also said that, along with restarting the nuclear power plant project, the Government will also establish a plan for nuclear power development. Study the possibility of localizing nuclear power technology, participating in the global supply chain. Form a specialized agency for state management of nuclear power...

In the resolution, the National Assembly also agreed to adjust the investment policy for the Long Thanh International Airport project.

Other contents continue to be implemented according to the existing resolution of the National Assembly.
