[en] As was mentioned in the first part of this series (WARTA NUKLEAR August 1985), the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) can be viewed as a bargain struck between three general objectives by the nuclear weapons states and the non-nuclear weapons states: first, the commitment by all parties not to contribute to the horizontal proliferation of nuclear weapons: second, the commitment to promote the international transfer of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes; and third, the commitment not to contribute to the vertical proliferation of nuclear weapons as a step towards general and complete disarmament.

[en] This paper presents the neutron-radiography research activities in Nuclear Energy Unit (UTN) as a trial before a neutron-radiography service can routinely be given. This trial neutron-radiography research encompasses the design and construction of a facility (NuR 1), collimator and the exposure system, as well as measurements of neutron and gamma dose-distribution, neutron-beam properties in NuR 1 and characteristics of the image recorder. A few problems arose in the early stage of work and the action taken to overcome these are also mentioned. Finally, methods of increasing the quality of the image are proposed and attempted. This project has given some important information so as to enable the construction of a permanent facility (Nur 2) and the execution of a neutron-radiography service. (author)

[en] Malaysia Nuclear Agency (Nuclear Malaysia) was established on 19 September 1972. Since its inception, Nuclear Malaysia has been entrusted with the responsibility to introduce and promote nuclear science and technology for national development. After more than 30 years of operation, Nuclear Malaysia remains significant as an excellent organization of science, technology and innovation. An analysis of the achievements in 2005-2010 as indicator to guide the preparation of Nuclear Malaysia as a technical support organization for nuclear power plants nationwide. (author)
