Badan Tenaga Nuklir Nasional, abbreviated BATAN, the Indonesian Non Ministry Government Agency charged with carrying out government duties in the field of research, development, and utilization of nuclear energy.
The nuclear program of Indonesia includes plans to build nuclear reactors in the country to produce nuclear power for peaceful purposes. The national legislative organ for nuclear energy, Badan Pengawas Tenaga Nuklir (BAPETEN), was founded in 1998. The name of the national agency of atomic energy is BATAN. Decades earlier, research on atomic energy was started in Indonesia. Apart for producing electricity, nuclear technology is also applied for medical purposes and agricultural purposes, for the use of genetic manipulation.
Plans for an atomic program were mostly shelved in 1997 due to the discovery of the Natuna gas field, but have been revived since 2005.

History
Based on Presidential Decree Number 5 Year 2006, Indonesia should have built 4 nuclear power plants by 2025. The total combine capacity of them at least 4,000 MW of electricity which about 1.96 percent of the projected electricity demand in 2025 which predicted 200,000 to 350,000 MW.
Indonesia has stated that the program will be developed in accordance with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).[citation needed] For this reason, Mohammed ElBaradei was invited to visit the country in December 2006.
Protests against plans for nuclear power occurred in June 2007 near Central Java[1] as well as an upsurge in mid 2007.
Locations of nuclear reactors
For research purposes, experimental nuclear reactors have already been built in Indonesia :
- The Kartini nuclear research reactor in Yogyakarta, Central Java.
- The MPR RSG-GA Siwabessy nuclear research reactor in Serpong, Banten.
- The Triga Mark III nuclear research reactor in Bandung, West Java.
Various locations have been proposed for building nuclear reactors that will actually be taken into production for the purpose of generating electricity :
- Cape Muria, Central Java.
- Gorontalo, in the north of Sulawesi.
- Bangka Belitung province. Two plants with cumulative capacity of 18GW.
- Kalimantan.
Concerning Fukushima's nuclear reactor blast an Indonesian's geodesics lecturer said that most of Japan was quake prone, whether vast Indonesia has many quake-free areas in Kalimantan, Bangka-Belitung, northern parts of Java island (should be considered as populous area) and Irian.
Natural resources
Indonesia has at least two uranium mines, the Remaja-Hitam and Rirang-Tanah Merah mines. These are located in the west of Kalimantan or Borneo. If these uranium resources appear to be insufficient, the country has the option of importing uranium from friendly nations.

Cooperation with other countries
In 2006 Indonesia signed treaties for nuclear cooperation with various countries, including South Korea, Russia, Australia and the United States. Australia has indicated that it does not have problems with supplying Indonesia with uranium for peaceful purposes. A much-publicized agreement with a Russian company to build a floating nuclear reactor in Gorontalo turned out to be a Russian dream - Indonesia has since made it clear that it wants an NPP with far higher megawattage and will construct a land-based plant.

IAEA's appraisal
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) considers Indonesia ready to develop nuclear energy. The statement was issued last November 2009. The IAEA's appraisal covered four readiness aspects, namely human resources, stakeholders, industry and regulations. The Indonesian Nuclear Board (BATAN) has carried out a series of researches since the 1980s.
