Indonesia will maximize the utilization of nuclear

Jakarta--Indonesia will use perhaps as much as nuclear. This is a form of improving national energy security. While Indonesia is rich in natural resources and energy, but not to spend on nuclear energy as alternative energy resources, especially for electricity. However, for implementation should be to strengthen their own capacity first.

"Do not be lulled by all the natural resources and energy available. We will utilize nuclear energy as much as possible, "said Vice President Boediono when answering questions of participants Force Regular Education Program (PPRA) XLIV National Resilience Institute (Lemhannas) at the Vice Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Thursday (19 / 8).

According to him, in some developed countries, the resurgence of the nuclear reactor is already visible. "Risks remain. In this life, all at risk, ranging from coal and gas as well. So, the problem of nuclear reactors must be learned by actually, "he said.

Vice President added that nuclear energy is expensive, but cheaper if the technology can cost under control.

About the time when a nuclear reactor to supply energy is realized, the Vice Boediono replied, "I'll see consistent growth the next few years. However, in essence, we must do this by strengthening our own capabilities first. "
