(Yogyakarta, 09/07/2020). Head of the Nuclear Energy Supervisory Agency (Bapeten), Jazi Eko Istiyanto, directly led the inspection task carried out by his institution at the BATAN Accelerator Science and Technology Center in Yogyakarta (09/07/2020).
"The challenge for the nuclear people is getting heavier every day because it concerns nuclear safety and security aspects. This is a joint task between the inspector (Bapeten, red) and the operator (BATAN) so that the nuclear remains safe," said Jazi at the beginning of his speech.
Facing the Covid-19 era, Jazi felt that he was compatible with the distance learning system implemented by the Kartini reactor in Yogyakarta. The Head of Bapeten asked the Director of Inspection of Radiation Facilities and Radioactive Substances, Zainal Arifin, "Can this inspection be done by using Zoom, without having to come to Jogja. For example, the inspector will ask to carry out work processes such as measuring by meter survey and so on," said Jazi. This will save a lot of budget, this needs to be evaluated to make it more useful. Jazi believes that BATAN and Bapeten are partners so that by doing so, it will not harm the nuclear people.
