TG Tower – Executive Operations Floor (Energy Division Planning Room)
2:18 PM
It wasn't a full boardroom.
Just a long rectangular planning table, walls lined with real-time energy maps, grid overlays, seismic risk zones, typhoon frequency charts, and DOE's archived nuclear feasibility studies.
Jose Reyes stood beside Timothy, arms crossed, studying a large projected map showing the Philippine archipelago—color-coded according to feasibility.
Green zones: theoretically viable.
Yellow: possible but heavily conditional.
Red: off-limits.
A DOE mark on each.
Jose zoomed in. "Sir, DOE released three preferred sites for conventional nuclear facilities back in the 2010s. We refined them based on new data. Want to walk through them?"
Timothy nodded.
Jose tapped the first one.
1. Morong, Bataan – The Original BNPP Site
The map zoomed into Bataan. The coastline, access roads, proximity to Subic, existing grid connection points—all highlighted.
