In terms of the effectiveness of nuclear energy supervision, the implementation must be carried out in a balanced manner between reward and punishment to provide a sense of fairness, accountability, and integrity to facilities that have ionizing radiation sources included in the BAPETEN surveillance object.Therefore, BAPETEN makes a risk-based assessment that produces a level of quantitative assessment in the form of a surveillance index, called the Nuclear Safety and Security Index (IKKN).IKKN is a measurable indicator as an overview of the safety and security status of facilities obtained through the Inspection Report (LHI) and Facility Safety Report (LKF).
The event began with the report from the Chairman of Committee Sumedi who reported "In 2020 BAPETEN awarded to 64 medical agencies, 79 research and industrial agencies, 8 Health Test Institutes, 4 Training Institutes, 5 Installations and Nuclear Materials and 6 Radiation Protection Officers (PPR)."
The event was opened by the Chairman of BAPETEN Jazi Eko Istiyanto, he said "Anugerah BAPETEN 2020 is divided into 2 main areas, namely the field of radiation facilities and radioactive sources and the field of installation and nuclear materials.For the field of radiation facilities and radioactive sources, the BAPETEN Award is given to agencies that get excellent predicate from evaluations conducted on the results of facility inspections, monitoring of worker doses, implementation of the licensing process, to emergency events in facilities."
"The award was also given to the regional head. The regional head who received the BAPETEN Award was chosen based on the number of BAPETEN Award recipient agencies located in the local government area.The regional government of BAPETEN Award recipients consists of 3 provincial heads, including Prov DKI Jakarta, West Java and Banten.In addition, the 3 district/city governments that received the BAPETEN Award are South Jakarta, Bekasi and Cilegon."
"The implementation of Bapeten award this time is coincidence with the Covid-19 Pandemic, inspection challenge during the Covid-19 pandemic.Since April, May, June we stop. In July we tried to start inspections because many hospitals as referrals for Covid-19 patients, we changed the way of inspections became virtual.There was another problem, it turned out that not all hospitals had measuring instruments, so some were forced to direct inspectors.BAPETEN continues to strive for supervision, of course there are still many shortcomings, please give input, for our improvement in the future." He said.
While the Minister of Research and Technology / Head of National Agency for Research and Innovation represented plt.Secretary of the Minister of Research and Technology/ Executive Secretary of BRIN Mego Pinandito said "The benefits are so great inevitably a set with the dangers of both workers, the environment, which must be considered safety of course supervisors in this case, the agency is Bapeten, because we are also members of the IAEA so this award is certainly international level as well.
"Related to the online inspection that Chairman of BAPETEN said earlier, in the research of the Minister of Research and Technology/BRIN we also made a robot that may be able to pair radiation measuring instruments for surveillance synergy.This challenge could reduce radiation exposure for workers or inspectors in support of supervisory duties."
The event was held on Tuesday, 27 October 2020, followed by the awarding of the "Anugerah BAPETEN" award in 2020 by the Chairman of BAPETEN.
On that occasion, also held a press conference with journalists virtually guided by the Head of Legal Affairs, Cooperation and Public Communication Bureau, the question was answered directly by the Deputy Chairman for Licensing and Inspection Zainal Arifin accompanied by the Chairman of the Committee Sumedi.
