Gaps

6. Legal & regulatory framework for radioactive sources
Policy and strategy
Ultimate handling radioactive materials or nuclear materials includes:
shipment of radioactive substances or nuclear materials to the country of origin; or
delivery of radioactive substances as radioactive waste to the National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN).
Reuse/recycle
Transboundary Movements
Any person or entity is prohibited to import radioactive waste from outside of Indonesia into the territory of the Republic of Indonesia, except for radioactive waste emanating from the radioactive material produced in Indonesia
Recycle/reuse DSRS
Near surface and borehole disposal

Disposal for DSRS
No regulation on specific facilities
Siting stages
No formal policy and strategy on radioactive waste management

9. Use of radioactive sources in the country
Approximately how many sources are in use, and for what types of purposes?
What Categories of sources are used?
What is the status of any national register and or national inventory of sources?
Are all users or potential users required to obtain a licence from the competent authority for the purchase, use and management of all sources?
Are all sources licenced by the national competent authority?

10. Use of Radioactive Sources in the Country1
Approximately how many sources are in use, and for what types of purposes?
6500 Radioactive Sources for Radiotherapy, Nuclear Medicine, Radiography, Photofluorography, Research And Development, Well Logging, Irradiators, Gauging, Storage of Radioactive Materials, and Calibration/Standardization
What Categories of sources are used?
Category 1, Category 2, 3, 4 and Category 5
What is the status of any national register and or national inventory of sources?
SALT, inventory of sources
Some DSRSs are not sent to BATAN (waste storage); containers difficulties.

11. Use of Radioactive Sources in the Country2
Are all users or potential users required to obtain a license from the competent authority for the purchase, use and management of all sources?
All those sources above exemption levels should apply for licenses
Are all sources licensed by the national competent authority?
Yes, all sources are licensed by Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency.

12. Arrangements for disused sources
Locations
e.g. with users, held centrally by a waste management organisation…
Stores (existing, planned)
Arrangements & resources for return of sources to supplier or other licenced third party
Disposal facilities (existing, planned)
Orphan sources – how are these dealt with?
Status of security over sources

13. Arrangements for disused sources1
All DSRS should be sent to RWMC in Serpong within 3 months
Stores
Interim storage 1
Interim storage 2
High activity Storage Facility,
Demo plan disposal (planned)

14. Arrangements for disused sources2
DSRS options
Recycle → certification
Re-export →
Disposal → plan: demo plant disposal, siting
Disposal facilities
demo plant disposal
