In this special edition of the Hinrich Foundation’s podcast on global trade, the Association of Foreign Press Correspondents-USA sits down with Ian Storey, Principal Fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, to examine Southeast Asia’s renewed interest in nuclear power and how Russia and China are competing to shape the region’s nuclear future.
Southeast Asia is again giving serious consideration to nuclear power after decades of hesitation. Rising electricity demand, commitments to achieve net-zero emissions, recent energy supply disruptions, and advances in small modular reactors are strengthening the case for nuclear energy across the region. Vietnam is moving ahead with plans for nuclear power, while Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand are at different stages of considering nuclear as part of their future energy mix.
As regional interest grows, Russia and China are positioning themselves as important suppliers. Russia has a longstanding foothold, with Rosatom offering financing and construction of nuclear power plants, along with long-term operation and waste management, while China may be pursuing a longer-term strategy to expand its global nuclear role in the region. For Southeast Asian governments, the choice of supplier goes beyond technology and cost, raising questions about regulatory capacity, energy security, and the risk of long-term dependence on foreign suppliers.
Tune in to this podcast as Ian Storey, Principal Fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, joins the Association of Foreign Press Correspondents-USA to discuss Southeast Asia’s growing nuclear ambitions, Russia and China’s push to deepen their roles as suppliers, and what this could mean for the region’s energy security and strategic autonomy. The podcast is based on Storey’s recent paper for the Hinrich Foundation, “Going Nuclear, Part 2: Russia, China, and Southeast Asia’s nuclear power ambitions.”
