Summary

The Indonesian government aims to establish its inaugural nuclear power plant (PLTN) on Gelasa Island, Bangka Belitung, by 2032. The 500-megawatt PLTN, developed by PT ThorCon Power Indonesia, represents a significant milestone in Indonesia's energy infrastructure. Prahoro Nurtjahjo, the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry's Head of the Human Resources Development Agency, emphasized the necessity of preparing both technology and the operators' competencies to run the nuclear power plant.

Prahoro said the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry has implemented several strategic initiatives, including forging collaborations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). "This represents a new frontier for us in Indonesia. We're poised to encounter challenges beyond the technological realm, delving into the intricacies of social considerations," he stated on Jan 19. Wielding authority over technical policies, the ministry is also partnering with the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) to prepare the supporting technologies for the planned nuclear power plant.
