GammaScorpion Field Test @ Felda Serting Hilir

I just came back from filed test on GammaScorpion technology. Thanks to Felda Agriculture for their good collaboration. Many thanks to all the crews from Nuclear Malaysia.

These photos taken during the technology applied in the plant.. sorry for not disclosing the GammaScorpion here due to PnC apply.. :)

Dr. Jaafar is the one who invented the technology and now, he share and explain to the Felda members.

Dr. Jaafar explain to Mr. Hisham, expert in Ganoderma disease among the oil palm trees.

Thanks to Aji, Felda rep who with us for along that week..

Its just a good experience for overnight in the plant.. what a great memoir...

Thanks to all parties for their cooperation and commitment...

Hope to see you guys again. We planned to have a field test again at this place soon..

Current Info Related on Malaysia NPP

Its very interesting article to be shared related on Malaysia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) issue.

KUALA LUMPUR: It would be difficult for the Government to build a nuclear plant in Malaysia – unless there is public acceptance for such a project. Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) chief executive officer Datuk Seri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh said developed countries had started using nuclear energy and there was no reason why Malaysians could not be open about it.
He said the energy company has submitted a preliminary proposal, prepared together with the Malaysian Nuclear Agency and the Natural Resources and Energy Ministry, for the Government to consider. “We are waiting for the Government to decide on the proposal,” he told reporters at a TNB Hari Raya open house here yesterday. Che Khalib was asked to comment on plans to identify sites for the country’s first nuclear plant, as stated in the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP).

He said the Government hoped to build the first nuclear plant by 2021. “That is an aggressive target or deadline and I hope Malaysians will support it because it takes a long time to realise the power plant,” he added.
Che Khalib said Malaysians should assess the building of nuclear power plant objectively in meeting the rising power needs of the country in future.
He said the demand for electricity had increased at a consistent rate of 6% to 8% each year and there was a demand for a new power plant.
“If we want to meet the demand by using current solutions such as gas and coal, I don’t think we can meet the demands by 2021,” he said. Asked about the possibility of an increase in electricity tariffs in the coming months, Che Khalib said: “If there is no revision in gas prices, TNB will not revise the electricity price.” He said Malaysians were fortunate that the US dollar had weakened and this had cushioned the impact of the rising price of coal. (Coal prices have been going up in the last two years.)
On whether the Government should reduce its stake in government-linked companies, such as TNB, as proposed in the ETP, he said it was in line with international practice and had also been carried out in Singapore previously. “The Government has close to a 40% stake in TNB and TNB does not need to hold that many shares,” he said.

FELDA Agricultural Services Visit on GammaScorpion Technology

On August 26^th 2010, Plant Assessment Technology (PAT), Industrial Technology Division of Nuclear Malaysia welcomed a visit by delegates from Applied Technology Division of FELDA Agricultural Services Sdn. Bhd. in respect of the GammaScorpion Technology

This innovative technology was initiated by Dr. Jaafar Abdullah and his team. It was specifically developed for Basal Stem Rot (BSR) detection of oil palms. During the visit, Dr. Jaafar had presented the development of GammaScorpion technology and principle of tomography that were used in this invention. The representatives from FELDA had shown keen interest in the technology as it could benefit them by early detection of BSR since it produce a good and clear result on the image of the disease. The delegation had also been introduced to several technologies developed in Centre for Computed Tomography and Industrial Imaging (CCTII).

The visit had received positive feedback from FELDA and they will give good cooperation in combined field test with PAT group. Both parties would further discuss the collaboration on this GammaScorpion Technology.

RPO Result

Alhamdulillah... with a full of efforts and prays that I put on to this course and examination. Finally, I've got the answer.

I'm really proud with myself and happy that I managed to pass it. Alhamdulillah again.. Now I've got a licence of 'Radiation Protection Officer' - RPO in nuclear gauge field. Soon, I plan to seat the NORM and TeNORM licence.
