ROSATOM presented Russian nuclear technologies to the expert community of Indonesia Rosatom, PUBLISHED 04.09.2024 ROSATOM's experts took part in the International Conference on Advances in Nuclear Science and Technology ICANSE-2024 organized by the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB, Indonesia). The experts presented advanced technologies and Russian experience in nuclear energy, including SMR projects. The visit of the ROSATOM delegation to the country also included Indonesia Goes Nuclear seminar on national plans to develop nuclear energy that was organized by PT PLN state-owned electricity company and Indonesian Research and Innovation Agency BRIN. "ROSATOM is the leader in NPP constructions abroad and the only company in the world that mass-produces equipment for large and small reactors. However, we do not just build NPPs. Our integrated offer includes creation of infrastructure, personnel training, assistance in operation and maintenance, fuel supplies, spent nuclear fuel management and decommissioning. Noteworthy, we run our projects with active involvement of local partners. ROSATOM goes beyond the tasks of the electric power industry as it aims at ensuring technological sovereignty and improving the quality of life in the hosting country. We hope that our experience will be useful to Indonesia in its intention to go nuclear," said Boris Arseyev, Director of International Business, ROSATOM. The seminar and conference brought together key stakeholders in the nuclear development in Indonesia, including representatives from government agencies, commercial companies, and the academic community. Representatives from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia announced plans to include nuclear energy in the National Energy Plan from 2032 to achieve net-zero goals by 2060. "Russia has been a very good friend of Indonesia since 1954, when we were entering the nuclear era that was initiated by the first President of Indonesia, Soekarno. We have been waiting for 70 years up to now to realize the dream of having the first nuclear power plant. Facing NZE 2060, we don't have any choice apart from NPP to fulfill our energy demand. Nuclear is for energy and other human beings' purposes. We have to consider our future generation of energy needs. They have the right to live nicely and descent live like what we have now. And energy plays a very important role. My final statement, Indonesia needs nuclear for energy and for humanity. ROSATOM provides the technology and capacity building for Indonesia to have the first NPP. Please embrace their coming and their help to Indonesian," said Tri Mumpuni, Member of the Board of Governors BRIN and the Head of IBEKA Foundation.
