Nuclear power is capable of being developed in Malaysia for electricity generation<br />

aimed at promoting renewable resources. Nuclear power has been more attentive than<br />

ever before as environmental issues become more important and the fossil fuel supply<br />

becomes unstable. In addition, one of the reasons should be noted on the<br />

development of this nuclear energy plant as it relies on phenomena related to "notin-my-back-yard"<br />

(NIMBY) public perception. Hence, this study aims to see the<br />

acceptance of the people on the development of nuclear energy in Malaysia and the<br />

determinants of the acceptance. This article discusses the acceptance of the<br />

community on the development of nuclear power generation plants for electricity<br />

generation, thereby reducing dependence on fossil fuels in the future.<br />
