Abstract

Land use is a growing concern due to population growth, infrastructure development, and the decline of forestry and agricultural sectors, with the energy sector, including nuclear power plant (NPP) construction, gaining prominence. Because of this, more and more nuclear power plant designs are being developed, including the floating nuclear power plant. Behind the benefits, one of the safety aspects that must be fulfilled in nuclear power plant design is nuclear emergency preparedness and response. The Nuclear Energy Supervisory Agency (Bapeten) is currently preparing a revision of Government Regulation Number 2 of 2014 concerning the Safety and Security of Nuclear Installations and Regulation of the Head of Bapeten Number 1 of 2010 concerning Nuclear Emergency Preparedness and Management, which contains nuclear emergency preparedness and response. As an international atomic energy agency, the IAEA has also published General Safety Requirements (GSR) Part 7 concerning Preparedness and Response For a Nuclear or Radiological Emergency. Considering the different complexities and challenges, it is necessary to study the implementation of GSR Part 7 on floating nuclear power plants, which can provide input for revising these regulations. This paper was prepared to elaborate on the application of GSR Part 7 for this nuclear power plant design. From the results of the study, it was found that several things need to be implemented for the design of the floating nuclear power plant, such as the nuclear emergency zone, nuclear emergency expansion zone, public communication, and handling of radioactive waste.
