Nuclear potential energy crisis in Indonesia and electricity makes nuclear power so the alternative choice ( Jubi / ist )
Jayapura , 9/5 ( Jubi ) - One of the members of the regional parliament urainum never raised the issue at the Freeport mine site . Unfortunately, attempts to prove there urainum under Grasberg not continue . Even US-based mining company also denied that no urainum on location .
Henock Ondy alumni of the University of Sriwijaya Palembang geologists have revealed that the mineral - associated minerals in mines always contain other elements including uranium bandwagon . It's just that there should be an effort he continued further studies to define the extent and amount contained therein .
" I think the potential is always there , " said ondi to tabloidjubi some time ago in Jayapura .The same thing is also said mineral engineering professor , State University of Paradise ( Uncen ) Endang geologically Hartiningsih that Papua has the uranium resources for the region composed of ultramafic igneous rocks .
Radioactive materials such as uranium contained in this ultramafic igneous rocks and are often found in Papua . Papua island is estimated to have reserves of uranium which is great because the characteristics of the rock there 600 million years old and has a resemblance to the rocks found in northern Australia . These rocks are known in advance because it has uranium reserves .
Potential Uranium in Papua makes the Chairman of the National Nuclear Energy Agency ( Batan ) Prof. Dr. Djarot Sulistio Wisnubroto should conduct a survey to Biak. Batan team conducted a survey in early May in Biak . Batan team came various locations to take samples of uranium for further dijui .
In Papua, according to the Chairman of the Batan for potential uranium consists of several categories among other measurable category , terkea , identified and hypothetical categories . Furthermore, according to the Chairman of the Batan will do a more in-depth research .
Besides in Biak , Batan team also conducted a survey in Mimika and Yahukimo District not long ago . According to the Chairman of the Batan uranium potential in Indonesia is estimated at 70,000 tons and 117 tons of thorium .
The Government of Indonesia since 1975 have planned to choose locations that are considered suitable for nuclear power plant ( NPP ) . NPP planning is important for the government because of the limited supply of electricity , especially in Java . The original plan in 1985 should already be there NPP with a capacity of at least 200 MW of turns until now has not been realized .
Selection of the location of nuclear power plants in the North shore location of Mount Muria , Central Java is a very strategic area and safe from the earthquake and has enough water resource . Because a nuclear power plant with a capacity of 500 MW requires about 50 liters of water with 80 samoai loiter per second as cooling water about 25 to 40 m3 per second .
November 2007 , Green Peace Indonesia with Ship Raibouw II anti- nuclear campaign and anchored in Moriah . GP Indonesian Party protest plans to build nuclear power plants in the Mount Muria , 2007. Whether they 've got a protest , nuclear power development plan in accordance with the program still running .
Moreover, the condition of electrical energy from hydro power plants and steam continued to decline drastically . Making nuclear power plant continues to run according to the program has been launched by the government of the Republic of Indonesia. Lsitrik energy crisis in Java and its surroundings made the choice of nuclear energy a solution for network sustainability of the electricity industry in Java . ( Jubi / Domingoes a Mampioper )
Potensi Nuklir di Indonesia dan krisis energi listrik membuat PLTN jadi pilihan alternatif(Jubi/ist)
Henock Ondy geolog alumni Universitas Sriwijaya Palembang pernah mengungkapkan kalau mineral-mineral ikutan dalam tambang selalu mengandung unsur-unsur ikutan lain termasuk uranium. Hanya saja lanjut dia harus ada upaya penelitian lebih lanjut untuk menentukan besaran dan jumlah yang terkandung di dalamnya.
“Saya kira potensi selalu saja ada,”kata Ondi kepada tabloidjubi beberapa waktu lalu di Jayapura.
Hal senada juga dikatakan dosen teknik mineral Universitas Negeri Cenderawasih(Uncen) Endang Hartiningsih kalau secara geologi tanah Papua memiliki sumber daya uranium karena wilayah ini tersusun oleh batuan beku ultrabasa.
Bahan-bahan radio aktif seperti uranium terkandung di dalam batuan beku ultrabasa ini dan banyak dijumpai di wilayah Papua. Pulau Papua ini diperkirakan memiliki cadangan uranium yang besar karena karakteristik batuan di sana berumur 600 juta tahun dan memiliki kemiripan dengan batuan yang terdapat di Australia Utara. Batuan ini telah diketahui sebelumnya karena memang memiliki cadangan uranium.
Potensi uranium di Papua membuat Ketua Badan Tenaga Nuklir Nasional(Batan) Prof Dr Djarot Sulistio Wisnubroto harus melakukan survey ke Biak Numfor. Tim Batan melakukan survey pada awal Mei lalu di Biak. Tim Batan datang berbagai lokasi untuk mengambil sampel-sampel uranium untuk dijui lebih lanjut.
Di Papua menurut Ketua Batan untuk uranium potensinya terdiri dari beberapa kategori antara lain kategori terukur, terkea, terindentifikasi dan kategori hipotesis. Selanjutnya menurut Ketua Batan akan dilakukan penelitian yang lebih mendalam.
Selain di Kabupaten Biak Numfor, tim Batan juga melakukan survey di Kabupaten Mimika dan Kabupaten Yahukimo belum lama berselang. Menurut Ketua Batan potensi uranium di Indonesia diperkirakan mencapai 70.000 ton dan 117 ton thorium.
Pemerintah Indonesia sendiri sejak 1975 telah merencanakan untuk memilih lokasi-lokasi yang dianggap cocok untuk pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Nuklir(PLTN). Perencanaan PLTN ini penting bagi pemerintah karena keterbatasan pemasokan listrik khususnya di Pulau Jawa. Rencana semula pada 1985 sudah harus ada PLTN dengan kapasitas minimal 200 MW ternyata sampai sekarang belum terealisasi.
Pemilihan lokasi PLTN di lokasi pantai Utara Gunung Muria, Jawa Tengah wilayah ini sangat strategis dan aman dari bencana gempa dan memiliki sumber air cukup. Pasalnya sebuah PLTN dengan kapasitas 500 MW membutuhkan air sekitar 50 liter samoai dengan 80 loiter per detik sebagai air pendingin sekitar 25 sampai 40 m3 per detik.
November 2007, Green Peace Indonesia bersama Kapal Raibouw II melakukan kampanye anti nuklir dan berlabuh di Muria. Pihak GP Indonesia memprotes rencana pembangunan PLTN di Bukit Muria, 2007. Meski pun sudah mendapat protes, rencana pembangunan PLTN tetap berjalan sesuai dengan program.
Apalagi kondisi energi listrik dari pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Air dan Uap terus menurun drastis. Membuat PLTN tetap berjalan sesuai program telah dicanangkan pemerintah Republik Indonesia. Krisis energi lsitrik di Pulau Jawa dan sekitarnya membuat pilihan energi nuklir menjadi solusi bagi keberlangsungan jaringan industri listrik di Pulau Jawa. (Jubi/dominggus a mampioper)
