Arriving at the agency building in Bangi, the Unikl group were introduced to Encik Rahman. He brought the group into an auditorium for a briefing. He went on to explain about the uses of nuclear reactions and radiations which sparked interest in the minds of the many people there.
Later, we were shown to a decontamination center outside the main facility. A tour around the facility drew the interest of the Unikl group once more. The facility featured a conveyor belt which circulated inside a 1.7 meter thick concrete walled chamber. Inside, a Cobalt-60 source would be radiated, killing germs in the packages sent through it.
Exhibition on the various research and implementation of nuclear usage
According to a source, the facility usually receives Cocoa and medical apparatus which are in need to decontamination. The participants were then shown to a wide range of specimens which were passed through the radioactive chamber. However, the items were safe as they had been preserved for year at the facility.
In the end of the visit,we all agree that we need nuclear for our own good but we were a bit afraid that the same scenario that happen in japan repeat over here as we increase our dependance on this source of energy that need a very high level of safety to ensure that there is no leakage
