Strengthening Military Defense Resources to Non-Military in Facing Nuclear Emergencies to Support National Defense

Indonesia has the potential for a nuclear emergency, so it is necessary to prepare resources to deal with nuclear emergencies to minimize losses. A nuclear emergency caused by a nuclear reactor accident is a non-military defense sector as the main component supported by other elements of the nation's power. Nuclear Biology and Chemical Company of the Indonesian Armed Forces Army (Kizinubika) is another element of the nation's power that provides reinforcement in non-military defense in the face of nuclear emergencies. The purpose of this study is to strengthen the Kizinubika resources for the Nuclear Energy Supervisory Agency (Bapeten) and the Directorate for the Management of Nuclear Facilities at the National Research and Innovation Agency (DPFKN-BRIN) in dealing with nuclear emergencies in order to support national defense. This type of research is qualitative by using literature study, observation, and interview methods. Internal resource criteria are determined based on the Resources Based View (RBV) theory. The results of the study in the form of recommended resources in strengthening the Kizinubika against Bapeten and DPFKN-BRIN in the form of; (1) The use of the Kizinubika facility as a joint training facility and infrastructure; (2) The use of special equipment Kizinubika in support of nuclear emergency response; (3) Kizinubika's strategic location close to DPFKN-BRIN supports speed in emergency response; (4) Use of Kizinubika's Human Resources through joint training in increasing the quantity and quality of training; and (5) Kizinubika's internal organizational relations support the task of dealing with nuclear emergencies.

DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF SITE VICINITY AREA FOR PREPARATION IN WEST KALIMANTAN NPP SITE

The potential risk of radioactive release to the environment and surrounding population can occur when there is a nuclear emergency, and nuclear preparedness planning is required for disaster mitigation. In preparedness planning, data is needed, one of which is demographic characteristics. Demographic information in site preparation can produce appropriate and efficient policy formulations because the number and density of the population, as well as the susceptible population, are known. The method used is secondary data collection, data verification, data processing, mapping, and analysis. This study aims to determine the demographic characteristics of the site vicinity. The study results show that the population density in 5 km radius area is 177 people/km2. In 2018, the total population was 5,199 people, the percentage of the male population was 50.3%, and the female population was 49.7%. The population aged ?20 years was 63.4%, 5-19 years old was 29.7%, and aged 0-4 was 6.9%. The projected population in 2047 is 6,523 people. The assumption is that in the event of a nuclear emergency, the emergency response considers the susceptible population. Evacuation of residents related to the emergency response can be carried out through 2 routes, namely through the South Singkawang District to the West Singkawang area, which is about 30 km from the site or through the Sungai Raya District to the Sungai Kunyit area, which is of about 26 km from the site.

System Modelling Approach of Radionuclide Soil-to-Plant Transfer for Nuclear Emergencies Decision; Case Study - China

Nuclear Energy Development is gradually gaining root in the energy mix of the Chinese society. It is quite evident to develop all possible emergency evaluation situation in the event of nuclear energy. Nuclear Emergency falls under the relative serious emergency incident grades according to the degree of social harm done and the extent of repercussions and other factors. This paper illustrates system modelling predictions of the transfer of radiocesium from soil-to-plant during nuclear emergency. Planned discharges of radionuclides are passed by mathematical models that can be used as tools to evaluate the effective ways of countermeasure actions in an event of an emergency. The empirical approach often associates with considerably uncertainty due to the large variability in the transfer factor The mechanistic approach also presents complexities and a large amount of specific parameters makes this approach impractical for nuclear emergency preparedness and response purposes. The semi-mechanistic approach factorizes more soil and plant parameters than the empirical approach. Therefore, it is applicable to a wider range of environmental conditions. The nuclear emergency adapts the parameterization of the Absalom model which is sufficiently robust and practical, hence fit more for the purpose of planning and responding to nuclear emergencies as compared to the empirical and mechanistic approaches.
