Kembali 13 September 2024 | Berita BAPETEN

The Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency (BAPETEN), through the Directorate of Regulation of Nuclear Installation and Materials (DP2IBN), carried out the Development of BAPETEN Regulation (Perba) No. 6 of 2023 on the Management System (SM) of Nuclear Energy Facilities and Utilization Activities on September 13, 2024, at the BAPETEN office, Jakarta. This development was carried out through a hybrid Focus Group Discussion (FGD) aimed at permit holders, the Directorate of Nuclear Energy Facilities Management (DPFK) National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), which is a nuclear utilization actor from the government sector.

Acting Director of DP2IBN, Nur Syamsi Syam, in her opening remarks said, "This activity is a series of developments in Perba 6/2023. Previous coaching has been held twice for internal BAPETEN on July 7 and 18, 2024. This coaching is aimed at external parties, in this case BRIN as one of the permit holders". It was emphasized that BRIN will get a clear picture of the new SM requirements and provisions and adjust its implementation to the applicable regulations.

In addition to using nuclear materials and radioactive chemicals, BRIN currently manages research facilities in a number of nuclear areas, reactors and non-reactor installations, and irradiators. In addition to possessing facilities for radioactive waste, BRIN is a leader in a number of nuclear technology research and development initiatives. Since it is not a business actor, it must meet the same SM standards as business actors.

Then, the Deputy Chairman for Nuclear Safety Assessment (PKN), Haendra Subekti, in his direction, stated, "The generic SM Regulation is in Government Regulation (PP) 54/2012, No. 45/2023, and PP 52/2022, which are then detailed in depth in this SM Regulation. This regulation is operational and implementative and will apply to 3 sub-activities included in the KBLI. SM is also included in the permit requirements included in the KBLI for business actors". Haendra hopes that the participants will be active so that the event runs smoothly and produces important points to be implemented together regarding this regulation.

Furthermore, Dewi Prima Meilasari, as the compiler of the regulation, explained that this new regulation has a broader scope. Dewi implemented important points in the management system that are unique to the nuclear power sector, namely leadership (leadership for safety) and the application of the principles of a security culture (nuclear security culture) and a nuclear safety culture (nuclear safety culture). Leadership for safety from every facility management personnel at every level, including field implementers, not only for personnel at the top level or managerial structure. In addition, she also explained the relationship between SM and ISO 9001. Dewi explained the substance of the regulation in detail.

Regulation No. 6 of 2023, which replaces Perba No. 4 of 2010, now covers a larger class of facilities and activities than before, with three nuclear utilization activities now regulated into one (nuclear mining, nuclear installations and use of nuclear materials, and utilization of ionizing radiation sources).

For business actors and BRIN, if they have implemented ISO, there is no need to create a new management system, but it is necessary to create a cross-reference document between ISO and SM in this regulation. Referring to IAEA GSR Part-2, the provisions of the management system in the nuclear power sector have several new and stricter things in the application of the management system that is generally in ISO/other activity management systems, considering the demands of a very high level of safety due to the potential risks and dangers of radiation, which are extraordinary.

The next event was a discussion session that took place very interactively. The representative of DPFK-BRIN, M. Subekti, conveyed the difficulties in implementing this management system, which were suspected not to be due to technical matters but more due to the organizational structure of BRIN. With the merger of four research institutions into 1 to BRIN, one of which is BATAN, there is a considerable distance between the facility managers who were previously Deputy and Head of the Center and then became Head of BRIN. Because of this institutional structure issue, it is very difficult to imagine the implementation of the points of funding, resource management, employee assessment, managerial management, assessment of the facility management system, and SM maintenance. Then as a complement, BRIN also asked how to get clarity and fairness from the implementation of the management system according to GSR part-2 related to the ideal structure that has been explained in the FGD session.
