On the second day, Tuesday, May 21, 2024, the BAPETEN team conducted a working visit to PT Angkasa Pura I (AP I), General Ahmad Yani International Airport, Semarang. This activity aims to coordinate and collaborate regarding the handling of the transportation of radioactive materials (ZRA) carried out via air transportation at General Ahmad Yani International Airport, Semarang.

The BAPETEN team during this visit was received by the General Manager of AP I General Ahmad Yani International Airport Semarang, Fajar Purwawidada, and his staff. Fajar expressed his appreciation to the BAPETEN team who had visited in the context of coordinating the supervision of ZRA transportation and hoped that this meeting could increase the understanding of AP I officers about radiation safety and security in carrying out daily tasks in the field.

In his speech, Ishak said that through this working visit, BAPETEN wanted to know and ensure the readiness of General Ahmad Yani International Airport Semarang in handling ZRA transportation. Currently, BAPETEN has a strategic role in the ZRA transportation process through licensing by issuing a Shipping Approval document. Ishak also emphasized that the issue of safety and security in ZRA transportation should be understood comprehensively by implementing officers, including the provision of radiation measuring instruments (surveymeters) in the field, because the presence of ZRA can be detected using a surveymeter.

Ida Bagus Manuaba conveyed several things related to the implementation of safety and security aspects in ZRA transportation based on Government Regulation No. 58 of 2015 concerning radiation safety and security in the transportation of radioactive materials and BAPETEN Regulation Number 7 of 2020 concerning safety provisions and procedures for the transportation of radioactive materials.

In the discussion session, AP I officers conveyed information on several matters related to the handling procedures for the shipment of dangerous goods, including that until now not all airlines are willing to transport ZRA, so they proposed the need for assistance from BAPETEN to get attention from related parties. AP I officers also hope that socialization and briefings need to continue to be carried out to align the perceptions of officers regarding radiation safety and security.

At the end of the event, Ishak expressed his gratitude for receiving this working visit and hoped that this coordination would continue to support the duties and functions of BAPETEN and AP I in handling the transportation of ZRA. [DPFRZR/Dwi/BHKK/GP/Translator: GP]
