The National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN) is working to solidify a partnership with Russia’s state-owned Atomic Energy Corporation (Rosatom) in order to develop a nuclear power plant (PLTN) in the country.
BATAN chairman Djarot Sulistio Wisnubroto told The Jakarta Post on Monday that both agencies were set to establish a joint group to explore options for developing Indonesia’s first PLTN.
An agreement to form the joint group was reached between BATAN — which was representing the Indonesian government — and Rosatom at Atomexpo, an international forum on nuclear energy hosted by the Russian government in Moscow last June.
