RSG-GAS has a fairly large thermal power of 30 megawatts, besides being useful for health, industry, research, it also has a potential radioactive releases nearby to the Serpong Nuclear Area about a 5 km radius. The existence of the RSG-GAS in the administrative area of South Tangerang City based on the 2019 Disaster Risk Index has a high risk class for earthquakes and extreme weather, as well as population growth that continues to increase within a radius of 1 km from RSG-GAS, resulting in external hazards from outside the RSG-GAS becoming a threat. in the operation of the RSG-GAS. To be able to reduce potential risk, structural and nonstructural mitigation efforts are needed. This study aims to analyze structural and nonstructural mitigation in the RSG-GAS. The research method used was qualitative with exploratory descriptive research design. The results of the study indicate that structural mitigation has begun to be carried out on the evaluation of site characteristics from the determination of prospective sites to the operation stage for internal and external hazards, the evaluation results are taken into consideration in the design of the RSG-GAS. The RSG-GAS design is capable of both internal and external hazards. Early detection systems can reduce the risk of disaster due to failure of nuclear technology. Nuclear emergency training has been carried out and it is necessary to coordinate the preparation of nuclear preparedness programs at the provincial and national levels. In conclusion, a chain of mitigation efforts has been executed in RSG-GAS in relation to the 2020-2024 National Plan on Disaster Management in order to support the national security.
The COVID-19 pandemic has become worldwide problems, nevertheless it needs local countermeasures to cope with the spread and negative impacts of COVID-19. Indonesia consists of many local wisdoms that can be used to prevent the infections as well as to protect the communities from further reverse influences of COVID-19. Thus, a community involvement is a key to curb the pandemic and its impacts by using local wisdoms. This paper is to show several local wisdoms that empower the community members to be able to solve their problems with their own ways in Indonesia. The methods of collecting information are to revisit from the recent study as well as some publications. The community involvements in several locations in Indonesia have brought some insights on how the local wisdoms can be employed as a tool to prevent and to reduce the impacts of COVID-19. As a result of these observations in Aceh, Gorontalo, Central Java and Southeast Moluccas, in the absence of ideal procedures on Covid-19 pandemic it is worthy to applying their local wisdoms in order to prevent the pandemic and to lessen its negative impacts to the communities. A collective action of the local community members becomes a lesson learnt to encounter an adversity for a particular community.
Lesson Learned from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactor Accident to Increase RSG-GAS Mitigation] Indonesia with a geographic area that is relatively the same as Japan and is strongly influenced by the movement of tectonic plate causing Indonesia to be prone of tectonic earthquakes, especially Serpong City of South Tangerang, the location of the Reaktor Serba Guna -G.A. Siwalessy (RSG-GAS) was recorded in a Catalog of Significant and Destructive Earthquake in year 1821-2018, as a risky area of the earthquake. Based on this fact, this study identified and analyzed mitigation efforts carried out to reduce the risk of disaster threats due to technology failure in RSG-GAS. The research method used was qualitatively with descriptive exploratory research design, explores new phenomena and describes according to direct observation of primary data obtained through interviews with resource persons, and secondary data through document studies belonging to resource persons and literature studies. Data validation was carried out with triangulation techniques by conducting data investigations from various sources in the analysis in accordance with the research framework. Mitigation actions have been carried out before the design was arranged, precisely on the determination of prospective reactor site until the current stage of reactor operation. Reactor site evaluation is carried out on aspects of external events (earthquake, geotechnics, meteorology, hydrology, human induce, and dispersion of radioactive substances). The updating of reactor site evaluation form external events is a consideration in RSG-GAS design mitigation, including the simulation the station blackout that has been carried out in the RSG-GAS, to find out the capacity and vulnerability of the RSG-GAS against external hazards that occurred such as in Fukushima Daiichi. External hazards such as earthquake and other hazards has also been promulgated in Indonesian Regulation of Nuclear Reactor Design. To strengthen the capacity of the government and stakeholders it is necessary to revise the Government Regulation to regulate its responsibilities and authority in nuclear emergencies to ensure the safety of the community to create national security. .
