Studi Keselamatan PLTN dalam Sistem Hibrida Tenaga Nuklir dan Energi Terbarukan

Abstract

Electricity demand in Indonesia is steadily increasing, and it is predicted to reach 390 TWh with 103.06 million customers by 2030. However, Indonesia is also committed to addressing climate change through Act Number 16 of 2016, which ratifies the Paris Agreement to the United Nations Framework Convention On Climate Change. Therefore, it is essential to ensure stable and environmentally friendly energy availability to meet people's needs. One proposed solution is the Nuclear-Renewable Energy Hybrid System (NREHS), which combines Nuclear Power Plants to meet the base load of electricity and other renewable energy sources for energy storage that will be used for the peak electricity load. This system has numerous benefits, particularly regarding environmental friendliness and economic value. However, due to the use of nuclear power in the system, specific attention needs to be paid to nuclear safety issues. This paper describes various safety issues that must be considered when implementing this system. The study analyzed the relationships and influences of nuclear power plants (NPPs) and other power generators concerning safety. This analysis was conducted by referencing international documents and standards regarding external hazards and relevant safety literature in different power generation facilities such as solar and wind power plants. From the studies conducted, it was found that several aspects of nuclear safety must be considered in this system, including external events, Optimization of Specifications for Other Power Plants for Nuclear Reactors, Handling Non-Nuclear Consequences in Nuclear Accidents, and Nuclear Emergency Preparedness and Response.
