Nuclear Reactor operational after 34 years, start of Nuclear-powered PH

Nuclear Reactor operational after 34 years, start of Nuclear-powered PH

The Philippines now has a working nuclear reactor after 34 years. This nuclear reactor though is a research reactor made possible by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST)-Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI).

It will serve as a base for research and training of nuclear engineers and scientists as well as potential nuclear power plant operators in the Philippines.

Located in Quezon City, Philippine Research Reactor 1 – SATER (Subcritical Assembly for Training, Education, and Research) or just SATER is targeted to be fully operational by 2023.

It is truly a big step towards a nuclear-powered Philippines especially with the issuance of Executive Order 164 last Feb. 28. The EO made by the Duterte administration states the addition of nuclear energy as an energy supply source in the Philippines to address the nation’s problem of inadequate electricity supply.

Now, you might be wondering what and who is PNRI if you’ve just heard about them through this article, well quick trivia, under Executive Order 128, the PNRI is mandated to perform the following functions:

  • Conduct research and development on the application of radiation and nuclear techniques, materials and processes.
  • Undertake the transfer of research results to end-users, including technical extension and training services.
  • Operate and maintain nuclear research reactors and other radiation facilities.
  • License and regulate activities relative to production, transfer and utilization of nuclear radioactive substances.

According to the viral post in the PNRI, as of June 23, 2022, all of the 44 fuel rods have been successfully loaded to the TRIGA (Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics) subcritical reactor.

“SATER will support the country’s capacity building in nuclear and reactor science and technology, provide a research facility for academic and research institutions, demonstrate research reactor operation and utilization and provide support for nuclear manpower development for the nuclear power program of the country,”

 – ROWENA CRISTINA GUEVARA, DOST UNDERSECRETARY FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

A little bit history, SATER was shut down in 1988, 34 years ago, as repercussion on the controversial cancellation of operating Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) in 1986.

The cancellation has brought fear and anxiety to people, as all the nuclear disasters that happened in the world did but with its subcritical and zero-power configuration, PRR-1 SATER is inherently safe as a facility for nuclear education and research according to DOST.

Aside from the country re-establishing its nuclear capability, the research reactor will also support nuclear education programs that are being offered in UP Diliman and Mapua University.

On June 29, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama signed a new executive order (EO) that allows all government-run schools and private educational institutions in Cebu City to fully conduct face-to-face lessons amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The new EO 164 will fully allow in-person classes at all levels with the condition that a minimum standard of public health procedure must be followed in schools. These include:

  • Using of face masks
  • Keeping a physical distance
  • Taking students’ temperatures as they enter the building
  • Often washing hands or using disinfectants
  • Immediate reporting flu-like symptoms as soon as they appear

According to the city mayor, schools and universities should create their own policies to guarantee that lessons would be held in a safe and adequate accommodation capacity.

There are around 140 elementary and high school public schools in Cebu City.

Ten universities are expected to open their doors to students again anytime soon. These include the University of San Carlos, University of Cebu, Cebu Institute of Medicine, Velez College, University of Southern Philippines Foundation, Don Bosco Technical College-Cebu, and Southwestern University.

‘Flexi-Work’ arrangements in Government Agencies approved

The Civil Service Commission or CSC has approved a memorandum allowing all government agencies to have flexible work arrangements anytime. With the pandemic still looming in, calls from government employees has pushed the commission to have flexible work modes be implemented.

Photo from Philippine News Agency

Promulgated on May 18, the commission has approved such work arrangements with the discretion of the head of any agencies who wish to adapt with the flexi-work setup. Taking effect on June 15, the commission also setup rules and regulations regarding the implementation of the flexi-work arrangements for government entities, including stakeholders should be assured of continuous delivery of services from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the standard office hours for government offices.

The CSC Memorandum Circular No. 2022-6 will cover around 1.7 million government employees regardless of the status of appointment. This means that both regular and contractual (Job Order) employees can be included in the flexi-work arrangement an agency would like to adapt.

“As a parallel policy to the Telecommuting Law of the private sector, the flexible work arrangement guidelines covering 1.7 million government employees regardless of the status of appointment, will certainly change the landscape of work in the country,”

THE CSC SAID IN A RELEASE.

The commission mentioned that the adoption of flexi-work arrangements is part of the anticipated “new normal” in the job industry, not just for private sectors but for those who work in the government as well.

“It serves as a preventive measure to safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of government officials and employees while ensuring the government’s continued operations and efficient delivery of public services,”

IT ADDED.

Flexible Work Arrangements

As per CSC’s resolution, the following are the flexible work arrangements government entities (GEs) can adapt:

  • Flexiplace – Officials and employees may be authorized to render services away from their office
  • Compressed work week – The 40-hour work week could be compressed into four (4) days or less, instead of five (5)
  • Skeleton workforce – A minimum number of workers will be required to report to the office when full staffing is not possible
  • Work shifting – For agencies required by law to operate 24/7 or agencies required to observe workplace health and safety protocols
  • Flexitime – Employees are allowed to report between 7 am to 7 pm provided they complete the required 40-hour workweek
  • Combination of flexible work arrangements – This can be adopted by an agency according to what is appropriate or applicable to its mandate and functions

CSC Commissioner Aileen Lizada mentioned that the commission was just presenting several options, stating that no singular fixed arrangement could work for all agencies, thus the proposed options.

The commission also pointed out that agencies who wish to adopt such arrangements must be aligned with their internal guidelines.

“For example, there are certain administrative tasks that [do not require one to] report [to the] office anymore like accounting, research and policy formulation…, it depends on the tasks that the agencies will consider appropriate for these schemes,”

CSC COMMISSIONER AILEEN LIZADA SAID.

Flexi-work Requirements

The following are the CSC’s requirements before an agency can adopt the proposed flexi-work arrangements:

  • Agencies must be able to formulate internal guidelines that must be submitted to CSC for record-keeping and reference purposes
  • Agencies should ensure that public services, programs, and projects will not be ‘negatively affected, delayed, or hampered.’
  • Agencies must be able to adopt performance standards, timelines, and submissions of accomplishment reports in line with Republic Act No. 11032, or the Ease of Doing Business Act.

Additionally, employees under the flexi-work arrangements are not entitled to overtime pay unless they physically report for work and render services beyond the normal eight-hour workdays or 40 hours a week.

“Government agencies shall ensure that support mechanisms are in place in the implementation of flexible work arrangements, such as appropriate personal protective equipment to frontline service providers and transportation facilities for physically reporting employees,”

THE CSC SAID.
