The original saying... nowadays "Radioactive waste" that has been managed will be collected and waiting for the time for it to become radioactive in all 3 office areas of the DOI offices, namely Bangkhen Office 2 buildings, Technopolis Office 2 buildings, Ongkharak Headquarters 1 building.
The important point is that...
The storage of two office spaces are Techno Thani Office and Ongkharak Head Office.
Operate without a license from the Office of Atoms for Peace?
As a result, the supervisory authority is the DEA and the practitioner is
National Institute of Nuclear Technology
(Public Organization) or SorTor. is an agency under the jurisdiction.
Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (QU) with both agencies dependent on the Office of the Permanent Secretary of UQ, so it can be said that...
The chain of command is the same.
...Is there a high possibility that that will cause the dominance of both agencies due to lack of independence may be the cause SORRS have been able to operate without a license throughout the past period. Without the enforcement of the law by the statutory supervisory authority (NorPor Sor.)

Even on December 31, 2021, there was a ministerial regulation.
"Potential of Radioactive Waste Management Service Provider, Permission and Cancellation of Radioactive Waste Management Service"
issued by the NACC, which may be called an amnesty law for the DOA.
Because throughout the past period, it has operated without a radioactive waste management license, all 3 of which are specified in the following provisional chapter ... Transitional Chapter Article 55. Any person who provides radioactive waste management services before the date on which this Ministerial Regulation is enforced shall submit an application Apply for a license to provide radioactive waste management services within one hundred and eighty days.
from the date this Ministerial Regulation comes into force
Without having to apply for a license to use the area to set up a radioactive waste management facility and a building permit for a radioactive waste management facility.
And...once the application for a license has been submitted, the radioactive waste management service can continue. until being notified of the order of disallowance from the Secretary-General
From the transitional chapter, it can be seen that the authority of the Secretary-General

Therefore, it is a channel that implies exploitation.
which if looking at the annual report in the income section

For example, the annual income of 2020 (reference document).
But if you observe from the reported income
Conditions for tax exemption because it is a government agency
This item is special because it is a government agency.

For example, the land and building tax 2019 is stated in Section 8, “State property or state agency used in state or state agency activities.
or in public affairs, without using it for benefit.” Therefore, Sor. must pay tax according to this law.
and strictly abiding by tax laws
to be a good role model for government agencies
In addition, DTI has tried to establish a 20 MW nuclear research reactor project, which is now in the 3rd EHIA, but there are various problems.
Both the impact of COVID and the resistance from the public sector to various peculiarities, such as attempts to build in the same area that used to be
There were cases of disputes in the last construction but could not be built due to various problems.
until a lawsuit occurred between the contractor and the government agency
It's interesting that ... the litigation value was nearly ten thousand million baht at that time.
As well as fraud from personnel within government agencies until many lawsuits have occurred.

No. Nor Ror. 0505/850, dated January 13, 2022, to the Secretariat Office of the Cabinet.
That book is trying to pull the project.
The original "nuclear research reactor"
more than 30 years ago was rebuilt again, but with a larger power.
by requesting a special exception
If this matter is approved by the cabinet, it means that the same atmosphere may return again.
But... if looking at the reality that is happening nowadays, choosing to use the same area is

I would like to reiterate that
government agency
Persons in charge of oversight (NorSor.) or operational units (SorNor.) must look at the reality and accept it straightforwardly.
Then find the right solution because...

Integrate relevant agencies to create an incident response plan.
Strictly enforce the law... As for users or factories, they must be legally responsible.

When "radioactive substances" contaminate the environment It is quite difficult or impossible to restore the environment to normal.
