Bataan town passes non-nuclear zone ordinance

The Municipal Council of Morong, Bataan, has approved a Non-Nuclear Zone Ordinance to ban any nuclear power facilities and radioactive materials within the town's limits. This move comes as a response to the presence of the mothballed Bataan Nuclear Power Plant nearby. The ordinance reflects the local community's strong opposition to nuclear energy, driven by safety and environmental concerns. This decision could set a precedent for other municipalities wary of nuclear projects, highlighting a growing global trend of caution regarding nuclear power.
