    "content": "When we went round the country, people were really concerned and when they heard of nuclear, the first thing they thought about is the negative effects of nuclear power; the destructive or dangerous use. This Bill specifically talks about the peaceful use of nuclear energy on regulation. We should get prepared, as a country, to handle that. It is not easy to produce nuclear power. Of course, the country has other sources of energy we can exploit like geothermal, solar, and wind. At the same time, we need a base load. If the country has to become an industrialised nation, we have to have a base load of energy that is consistent and available. Geothermal energy might be depleted after some years while wind is sometimes available and sometimes not. They depend on the weather or climate in the country. I appreciate that nuclear energy will be an alternative. Of course, it has its negative effects in terms of the example Hon. Duale has given about a young man in North Korea. The purpose of the Bill is to provide for peaceful use of nuclear energy. I would like to inform the House that to use nuclear energy negatively, you need to have almost 80 per cent concentration. What we need to be able to produce energy is only 4 per cent of the nuclear component. That is very critical."
