Bataan Nuclear Power Plant

BATAAN NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

Another thing that can be found in Morong is the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant. The plant was completed in 1984 but was never fuelled and until this day remains unoperational. The government is making the most of this white elephant, however, by turning it into a tourist spot. Folks can now take a tour of the controversial plant without worrying about the effects of fallout.

Bataan Nuclear Power Plant is a nuclear power plant, completed but never fueled, on Bataan Peninsula, 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of Manila in the Philippines. It is located on a 3.57 square kilometre government reservation at Napot Point in Morong, Bataan. It was the Philippines' only attempt at building a nuclear power plant.
