Study on Nuclear Power Program in Indonesia: Status Updates of Problems and Challenges | Chapter 10 | New Approaches in Engineering Research Vol. 4

 Although the nuclear disaster at Fukushima Daiichi NPP in 2011 is still fresh in our minds and has left a portion of the world's population traumatized, many countries have already resumed their nuclear power programs. This is due to the fact that for some countries, NPP plays critical and strategic roles in meeting electricity demand as well as strengthening the country's bargaining position. Aside from the 16 countries that are currently building nuclear power plants, there are approximately 50 emerging countries, with 30 countries considering, planning, and starting nuclear power programs, and the remaining 20 countries having an interest in nuclear power plants at some point. They undoubtedly have a different level of success in program implementation as well as a different level of problem complexity. Some countries can run their nuclear programs smoothly because they have adequate resources and stakeholder support, but others cannot. Indonesia is one of the countries dealing with difficulties and challenges in implementing their nuclear program. The current study aims to analyze the problems and challenges that Indonesia has faced in dealing with its nuclear power program, and to identify lessons that can be learned. This paper thus provides the analysis' results and updates the status of Indonesia's problems and challenges, which may be beneficial.
