Environmentalists say building atomic reactors in corrupt, quake-prone Asian countries courts disaster. (Dadang Tri/Reuters) In Indonesia, Japan quake casts shadow over nuclear plant plans By Donald Greenlees Published: July 26, 2007 document.writeln(''); E-Mail Article [input] [input] [input] Listen to Article Printer-Friendly 3-Column Format Translate Share Article Text Size BALONG, Indonesia: Environmental groups campaigning against Indonesia's plan to build some of Southeast Asia's first nuclear power reactors near this poor rice farming village in East Java were given a stark demonstration of their worst fears on July 16 when an earthquake in Japan severely damaged one of the world's largest nuclear power facilities, causing a minor radiation leak. They had been warning for years against government plans to introduce nuclear power to Indonesia's energy mix because of the risk that an earthquake could rupture a reactor and let nuclear contaminants spill into the surrounding environment. Officials from the national nuclear energy agency argue that the site where the government wants to build four to six nuclear power plants, on the Muria Peninsula in East Java Province, about 450 kilometers, or 280 miles, east of Jakarta, is one of the most geologically stable parts of an island with a record of violent earthquakes. But in recent years scientists have discovered a small geological fault below the proposed site, say environmental activists and government officials. "Under the area where the power plant is planned there is now a minor fracture that didn't exist in the 1990s," said Nur Hidayati, the Jakarta-based climate and energy coordinator for Greenpeace Southeast Asia. "Indonesia has a lot of earthquakes. If a nuclear power plant is built here, the dangers will increase."

In May last year, an earthquake measuring 5.9 devastated parts of neighboring Central Java, killing more than 5,000 people. But none of this is likely to deter the Indonesian government from its nuclear energy plans, first proposed by the government when Suharto was president in the early 1990s. Following the earthquake in Japan, government officials reaffirmed they intended to stick to a timetable that would bring the first nuclear power plant online in 2016. "It has some impact on us," said Ferhat Aziz, a spokesman for the nuclear energy agency. "Any accident anywhere in the world will have some impact, especially in terms of communicating to the public." But he added: "We are still going ahead with this plan." Indonesia, like all its neighbors in Southeast Asia, is facing intense pressure to diversify its energy sources. It wants to shift away from heavily polluting, increasingly expensive and depleting supplies of fossil fuels to more sustainable alternatives. Nuclear power is emerging as a key part of the future energy mix, not just for Indonesia, but for many of its neighbors in Southeast Asia - a region that until now has eschewed atomic energy. Despite fears of accidents and the opposition of environmental groups, several Southeast Asian governments have either firm plans to develop nuclear power stations in the coming decade or have begun studies into its potential, in hopes of emulating Northeast Asia's long-established use of nuclear energy. In a long-term energy plan released last year, government officials in Jakarta estimate that by 2025 about 4 to 5 percent of Indonesia's electricity supply will come from the string of power stations in East Java. Vietnam has announced that it expects 4.7 percent of its electricity needs to be met by nuclear power by the same date, once it finishes the construction of about four power reactors. The first is due to be completed in 2015. In Thailand, a national power development plan approved in April envisions nuclear power plants contributing 4 gigawatts to the electricity grid by 2021. Others could follow suit. In Malaysia, government officials said in February that a move to nuclear energy could not be ruled out if fuel prices continued to rise, although Deputy Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak said last week the country had no nuclear development plans. A comprehensive study of future energy needs, including consideration of nuclear, is to be completed in 2010. The Philippines built a 620-megawatt nuclear power plant at Bataan in the 1980s. But it was never used, mothballed by the administration of President Corazón Aquino in 1986 because of safety fears. President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is now putting the nuclear option back on the table. She has said the country should develop skills in nuclear technology as a first step to a possible decision on nuclear power in a decade. The military junta ruling Myanmar reached an agreement with Russia's atomic energy agency in May to build a research reactor as a possible first step to nuclear electricity generation, although some also fear the secretive state might ultimately have a military program in mind. 1 | 2 | 3 Next Page Read all 3 comments Join the Discussion [input] Name, City/Country (required) [input] E-Mail (required, will not be published) [input] All comments are subject to approval before appearing.
