The Philippines first and only nuclear power plant, which never operated (though plans to reactivate it remain). Can be visited by pre-arranged guided tour.
The Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) is a nuclear power plant on the Bataan Peninsula, 100 kilometers (62 mi) west of Manila, Philippines. Completed but never fueled, it is located on a 3.57 km2 (1.38 sq mi) government reservation at Napot Point in Barangay Nagbalayong, Morong, Bataan. It was the Philippines' only attempt at building a nuclear power plant. It was mothballed due to safety concerns in the wake of the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine in 1986 and issues regarding corruption in the Philippines.

Unlike eastern Bataan, west Bataan's coastline has not been industrialized, enabling sea turtles (pawikan) to lay eggs and hatch on Morong's shores with minimal disturbance. The center secures the eggs from laying until hatching and release, with visitors allowed to explore and participate in the activities. There is no on-site accommodation, but the complex is surrounded by resort-hotels.
