GPSC trains youth to compete in the Nuclear Science Olympiad

Bangkok, GPSC encourages Thai youth to participate in the 'International Nuclear Science Olympiad' to expand knowledge. Keep up with technology for sustainable development of the country Mr. Worawat Pittayasiri, Chief Executive Officer and President of Global Power Synergy Public Company Limited or GPSC, the innovation leader in the electricity business of PTT Group, revealed that GPSC has seen the importance of education. Various types of alternative energy In addition to the feasibility studies on hydrogen technology and carbon dioxide capture technology (Carbon Capture and Storage - CCS) that are currently being carried out. in order to lead to strengthening of energy security Especially clean energy that is friendly to the environment, GPSC has supported the implementation of the project. The 1st 'International Nuclear Science Olympiad' at the high school level, in collaboration with the Nuclear Society of Thailand (NST), will be held from 31 July to 7 August 2024 in Manila, Republic of the Philippines. It increases the opportunity to expand the results of science teaching. To enhance knowledge Understanding of technology development and another approach to energy innovation. The schedule for recruiting youth to take the entrance examination in March 2024 will be announced on the website of the Nuclear Association of Thailand. www.nst.or.th coming soon 'Supporting such academic competitions It is one of the guidelines of GPSC Group's business operations to create knowledge in energy technology for youth in various dimensions. Especially using clean energy that is beneficial to the country. It is the development of human resources that is very important for the development of the country in the future,' Mr. Worawat said. Current technology in nuclear energy There is continuous progress in innovation. Especially SMR (Small Module Reactor) technology, which is a small modular nuclear reactor technology. that can produce a maximum of 300 megawatts of electricity per unit Give importance and build on safety sta ndards to be more efficient. Currently, the People's Republic of China and Russia have already used such technology in commercial electricity production. Including many countries around the world showing increasing interest in such SMR technology. Because it is an energy technology that is important for reducing global warming, recently the European Union is preparing to launch an industrial alliance on SMR technology, moving forward with construction cooperation across the continent. For the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 90% in 2040 (2040). Source: Thai News Agency
