(Serpong 21/11/2019) Short Notice Inspection atau biasa disebut SNI merupakan kegiatan inspeksi seifgard untuk melakukan verifikasi kebenaran laporan yang diberikan dari MBA (Material Balance Area) kepada BAPETEN (Badan Pengawas Tenaga Nuklir) atau IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency). Indonesia telah menandatangi perjanjian NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty), maka dari itu BATAN khususnya PRSG (Pusat Reaktor Serba Guna) sebagai penerima dan pengguna bahan bakar, wajib melaksakan seifgard pertanggungjawaban dan pengendalian bahan nuklir. Pada 19 November hingga 20 November 2019, inspektur BAPETEN dan IAEA melakukan inspeksi SNI atau inspeksi dadakan di PRSG. Disebut inspeksi dadakan karena IAEA menghubungi pihak BAPETEN dan PRSG setelah mendarat di Indonesia, sehingga persiapan dokumen-dokumen pertanggungjawaban dan pengendalian bahan nuklir disiapkan kurang lebih dua jam.

Inspektur dari BAPETEN berjumlah 4 orang yang diketuai oleh Kusbandono, sedangkan dari IAEA berjumlah 2 orang yaitu Emil Farkas dan Giuseppe Giaveri. Kegiatan inspeksi ini diterima oleh subbidang akuntansi bahan nuklir yang dipimpin oleh Mochammad Imron. Pada hari pertama, kegiatan dimulai pukul 9 pagi dengan disambut langsung oleh Kepala Pusat PRSG R. Heru Umbara. Kemudian melakukan cek dokumen dan mengecek fisik bahan nuklir segar (yang belum teriradiasi). Melakukan cek bahan nuklir ke PT Inuki gedung 10, karena pencatatan dan pelaporan bahan nuklir masih satu MBA dengan PRSG. Selain ke PRSG, inpsektur IAEA dan BAPETEN juga melakukan pertemuan ke PTLR. Kegiatan dihari kedua, masih melakukan cek fisik bahan nuklir teriradiasi baik yang di teras maupun spent fuel. Setelah tidak ada masalah baik secara dokumen maupun fisik bahan nuklir IAEA berpamit pulang. Di sesi penutupan, Emil Farkas menyampaikan ucapan terimakasih atas pelayanan inpeksi SNI kepada BATAN maupun BAPETEN. (Fami)

(Jakarta, 12/11/2019). On behalf, the National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN), The Center for Technology of Radiation Safety and Metrology (PTKMR) held the Workshop of Radiation Protection and Safety for Nuclear Medicine Facility in Pasar Jumat Nuclear Area, Jakarta, on Tuesday 12th November 2019.

“The workshop has been dedicated as a medium for networking and sharing knowledge among professionals who work in nuclear medicine facilities. The workshop participants are Nuclear Medicine Specialist, Medical Physicists, Radiopharmacists, Radiographers and other hospital staffs", as it has been mentioned by the host, Nur Rahmah Hidayati.

Nur confirmed that radiation safety is not merely the responsibility of radiation safety officer or medical physicist, but also professionals who are contributing in nuclear medicine facilities.

(Jakarta, 22/07/2019) The large amount of dry land in Indonesia that has not been optimally utilized has inspired researchers from the National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN) to innovate by conducting research on plants that can survive on dry land, namely sorghum. The characteristics of sorghum plants that are suitable for dry land cause these plants can be a solution to utilize and provide added value to dry land.

This was explained by the BATAN researcher in agriculture, Sihono at the sorghum harvest activity in the experimental land of the Ministry of Agriculture, Citayam, Bogor Regency, Friday (19/07). "Sorghum is a plant that is suitable for dry land that grows a lot in Indonesia," said Sihono.

(Jakarta, 17/07/2019). The head of the National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN), Anhar Riza Antariksawan introduced the results of the latest BATAN R & D in the form of 2 varieties of superior soybean plants planted in dry land, named Kemuning 1 and Kemuning 2. With the release of these two varieties, so far the number of superior soybean varieties produced by BATAN reaches 12 varieties.

"Soybean Kemuning 1 and Kemuning 2 can adapt well in dry land compared to other soybean plants and also have a larger seed size," Anhar said in a press conference at the Agricultural Building, Center for Isotope and Radiation Application (PAIR) - BATAN, Nuclear Facilities Pasar Jumat, South Jakarta, Wednesday (17/07).

(Yogyakarta, 16/07/2019). The Center for Radiation Safety and Metrology Technology (PTKMR) of the National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN), is holding a Workshop on Radiation Protection Officers (PPR). This workshop is the 5th time that PTKMR has routinely held since 2015. This workshop is a place of communication and exchange of knowledge and experience related to occupational safety and radiation protection in BATAN.

Referring to the Regulation of the Head of the Nuclear Power Supervisory Agency (BAPETEN) No. 16 of 2014, concerning Work Permits for Certain Officers Working in Installations that Utilize Ionizing Radiation Sources, PPRs are defined as officers appointed by the License Holder and by BAPETEN declared able to carry out work related with radiation protection.
