The development organized by the Directorate of Regulation of Nuclear Installation and Materials (DP2IBN) BAPETEN aims to make business and local governments understand risk-based licensing to facilitate the licensing process that ultimately encourages the progress of nuclear energy utilization in Indonesia, stated by Deputy Chairman for Nuclear Safety Assessment Dahlia C. Sinaga.

"This activity aims to disseminate the laws and regulations that have been promulgated and provide understanding to stakeholders about their application," she said.

Dahlia added that after the issuance of the Omnibus Law, there have been many published implementation regulations in the form of Government Regulation (PP). Bangka Belitung Province is one of the main purpose of this coaching due to the potential of radioactive minerals and the construction of nuclear installations.

"For this reason, stakeholders in Bangka Belitung are very important to get the latest information on applicable regulations and those that are being revised so that they can get a big picture of the regulatory framework," she said.

Furthermore, Dahlia said, in the field of electricity, almost all business activities have a high risk category, for that the fulfilment of technical requirements before and during business activities and the ease of effort climate must be optimal, so that business activities still meet the principles of safety. "Ignoring safety will also have an impact on business activities. For this reason BAPETEN as a supervisor so that in this case the interests of business owners, the community and the environment must be balanced in the context of sustainable development" she continued.

Meanwhile, the Executive Secretary of Bangka Belitung Province opened this event and delivered a speech read by Assistant General Administration Mulyono Susanto. He said on behalf of the provincial government of Bangka Belitung expressed his deepest gratitude to BAPETEN as the organizer of this event.
