    Malaysia is currently planning on building its first nuclear power plant to add on more
    variety of national energy mix. This paper is on the study on the feasibility of the plan. We will show
    the current and forecast energy demand that make the nuclear power plant as the major solution to
    cover the deficit. Malaysia current strategy and action on building the plant will be presented in this
    paper. The challenge on delivering this project of energy mix is also a major aspect that will be
    discussed. The international and national policy regarding of nuclear power and its waste has provide
    a rough guidelines to execute this planning. While existing literature points to a correlation between
    nuclear power, strong state involvement, centralized energy planning and the rhetoric linking energy
    to national prestige and security, we show that these factors are not sufficient for a successful nuclear
    program. Another motivation on pursuing nuclear power is to reduce the carbon emission to the
    environment. By the end of this paper, we include the nuclear conventions that Malaysia involve and
    future prospect for nuclear power plant development. Copyright © 2016 Penerbit Akademia Baru -
