In Indonesia, the first idea for the construction and operation of nuclear power plants has been started in 1954 in the form of a statement in seminars held in several universities in Bandung and Yogyakarta. Despite this new idea was crystallized in 1972 appeared simultaneously with the establishment of the Preparatory Commission for the Development NPP (KP2PLTN) by the National Atomic Energy Agency (BATAN) and the Department of Public Works and Power (Department PUTL). Then continues with the convening of a seminar on Karangkates, East Java in 1975 by BATAN and PUTL Department, where one result is a decision that nuclear power plants will be developed in Indonesia.
About Nuclear Power Plant's Opinion in the know:
A. In mid-2011 only 9% of the people of Indonesia who support nuclear power plants.
B. Indonesia has more than "Half Century" started thinking about the idea of building nuclear power plants.
C.Indonesia is chairman of the Technical Working Group on NPP ("Technical Working Group NPP" or TWG-NPP) in the ASEAN.
D. Uranium and Thorium revealed BATAN (nuclear fuel) is widely found in West Kalimantan Islands and the Pacific Islands will not be used for nuclear power plants, will still be imported from abroad.
E. Nuclear energy accounts for 16% of the total electric energy needs of the world.
F. Nuclear energy is the only power source that does not emit greenhouse gases, which can effectively replace fossil fuels.
G. A total of 441 nuclear power plants now operating around the world have been avoided emissions of nearly 3 billion tonnes of CO2 per year which is equivalent to the exhaust from more than 428 million cars.
H. In 1979 Jane Fonda and Jack Lemmon both won Oscars for her role in "The China Syndrome". In the film, a nuclear reactor meltdown that threatens the life of the whole city.
Twenty days after the blockbuster film opened, a melting reactor at Three Mile Island has really shook the whole country.
I. Nuclear energy is one of the sources of energy, not expensive. In 2004, the average cost of electricity production in the United States is less than two cents per kilowatt-hour.
J. In 40 years, which has been used fuel will emit only a thousandth of the radioactivity as compared to the time fuel was removed from the reactor
K. Formation of the nuclear cap-thick reinforced concrete one-half meter to protect the contents from the outside or from within. Even if a jumbo jet crashing into a reactor and breach the containment, the reactor would not explode. There are many types of facilities that are more vulnerable, including natural gas liquefaction plants, chemical plants and numerous political targets.
L. Indonesia one of the experts in the field of nuclear emergency response and radiation protection, choose the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to join the International Fact-Finding Mission to NPP Fukushima, Japan.
M. According to the OECD in 2010 (NEA No. 6861), the number of deaths per year Gigawatts-generated electricity in the range 1969 to 2000, is LPG (16.85), hydropower (10.29), BBM (1.03), coal ( 0.80), and nuclear (0.05). The only nuclear accident that claimed the lives of the Chernobyl incident in 1986 that killed 31 workers. Not as one might expect, Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in fact did not result in fatalities due to radiation.
N. Knowledge about nuclear energy, especially nuclear entry have been proposed in the school curriculum since 2010 in Indonesia. [Images : google.com][Source : Kaskus]
