The project aims to meet the human resources demand of the Ninh Thuan 1 and Ninh Thuan 2 nuclear power plants by 2030.

Building upon the previous groundwork, local authorities are working with the projects' investors to review and adjust planning schemes, eyeing to complete land handover procedures at the end of December 2025.

VINATOM will collaborate with relevant agencies to enhance workforce skills, bolster scientific and technological capabilities, and support industrial production to meet stringent quality and safety standards.

These developments underscore the Party and State’s determination to harness atomic energy as a strategic lever to ensure energy security, drive sustainable development, and deliver on Vietnam’s commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050.

Pham Van Hau, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Council, stated that recognising the importance of the project, the province has developed specific plans and a roadmap for its implementation. This includes focusing on effective communication efforts to gain high consensus among officials, Party members, and people.

The reactivation of nuclear power projects will help Vietnam diversify its energy supply sources, guarantee energy security, and achieve its economic growth target as well as its commitment to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050.

Recognising the importance of nuclear energy in advancing the nation's socio-economic development, the National Assembly (NA) passed the Law on Atomic Energy in 2008.

With an urgent timeline to put the plant into operation by 2030 or 2031, the project faces significant challenges and requires a shift to a more flexible, accelerated management approach.

National Assembly Chairman, Tran Thanh Man, has signed off Resolution No. 189, concerning special mechanisms and policies for investment in the Ninh Thuan nuclear power project.

The resolution stipulates several special mechanisms and policies for the development of the project, including the Ninh Thuan 1 and Ninh Thuan 2 nuclear power plants, and component projects, along with some others for the south-central province of Ninh Thuan to support the project implementation.

The 15th National Assembly adopted a resolution on several special mechanisms and policies for the Ninh Thuan nuclear power project at its ninth extraordinary session on February 19.

The deputies will pass a resolution addressing issues related to the streamlining of the political system’s organisational apparatus, a resolution on supplementation to the 2025 socio-economic development plan with a growth target of at least 8%, and another on pilot policies to remove barriers in science-technology research and innovation activities.

Tran Quoc Nam, Chairman of the Ninh Thuan provincial People's Committee and head of the provincial delegation of NA deputies, stated that restarting the Ninh Thuan nuclear power project is a great opportunity for the province to become the nation's clean energy hub.

The Government's proposal states that the Ninh Thuan nuclear power project is of exceptional importance, involving advanced technologies possessed by only a few countries. With its high investment capital amount and being the first of its kind in Vietnam, the project necessitates special and strong mechanisms and policies to accelerate the progress and shorten the implementation time.

Specific mechanisms and policies are critically important to speeding up the project, helping ensure national energy security and meet power demand of socio-economic development in the new era, Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien said.

The national GDP growth in 2025 must reach at least 8% to lay a solid stepping stone for double-digit growth sustained for a long enough period of time, starting in 2026, according to the Government's proposal.

During the 8-day session, legislators will review and pass the drafts of the revised law on amendments and supplements to the Law on organisation of the NA, the revised Law on organisation of the Government, and the revised Law on promulgation of legal documents.
