Finally, a built nuclear power plant comes with a guaranteed fuel supply from the vendor, who will source for uranium to be mined, converted and enriched in order to fabricate and assemble the fuel specific to the reactor. Unlike LNG, its price is thus shielded from geopolitical volatility. Hence, if Singapore operates a nuclear power plant, it can be considered an indigenous source of energy.
Furthermore, a nuclear power plant needs to be refuelled, on average, once every two years. This means Singapore could rely on a dependable source even through a prolonged regional energy crisis.
