On the first day, field verification activities were carried out for MIR storage licensing, which is part of the radioactive associated mineral storage licensing process, submitted by PT Prima Timah Utama (PTU), located in Ketapang, Pangkalpinang, and PT Putra Sarana Shakti (PSS), located in Jelitik, Sungailiat. In accordance with the mandate of BAPETEN Regulation No. 1 of 2022, it is stated that the assessment of nuclear energy business actors is carried out through document evaluation and field verification activities to ensure that business licensing requirements are met.

The verification team consists of Widia Lastana Istanto as the lead, accompanied by Sinta Tri Habsari, Bhakti Dwi Yoga, and Yepi Yamani Yosa as team members and evaluators. The lead of the verification team, Widia, during the entry meeting conveyed the purpose of the verification activity, namely to ensure the conformity between the licensing documents submitted at the time of the application and the conditions in the field and to see their conformity with the licensing requirements. After the entry meeting, it was continued with a discussion of the evaluation results and field inspections to the location of the facilities used for storing radioactive associated minerals and the production area (smelter). The results of the verification were that PT PTU was declared to have met the requirements; for PT PSS, it was still necessary to improve the licensing requirement documents.
