What happened
Petrovietnam and Singapore are deepening cooperation on a nuclear plant project. This move occurs as Southeast Asian governments are revisiting nuclear power due to rising electricity consumption and the need to reduce carbon emissions. Singapore's government stated it is studying nuclear power and small modular reactors (SMRs) but has not made a decision.
