The potential risk of radioactive release to the environment and surrounding population can occur when there is a nuclear emergency, and nuclear preparedness planning is required for disaster mitigation. In preparedness planning, data is needed, one of which is demographic characteristics. Demographic information in site preparation can produce appropriate and efficient policy formulations because the number and density of the population, as well as the susceptible population, are known. The method used is secondary data collection, data verification, data processing, mapping, and analysis. This study aims to determine the demographic characteristics of the site vicinity. The study results show that the population density in 5 km radius area is 177 people/km2. In 2018, the total population was 5,199 people, the percentage of the male population was 50.3%, and the female population was 49.7%. The population aged ?20 years was 63.4%, 5-19 years old was 29.7%, and aged 0-4 was 6.9%. The projected population in 2047 is 6,523 people. The assumption is that in the event of a nuclear emergency, the emergency response considers the susceptible population. Evacuation of residents related to the emergency response can be carried out through 2 routes, namely through the South Singkawang District to the West Singkawang area, which is about 30 km from the site or through the Sungai Raya District to the Sungai Kunyit area, which is of about 26 km from the site.
Nuclear energy has a large potency to become the backbone of renewable energy in Indonesia, and it is expected to become a significant lifting factor in fulfilling the national electrical energy, furthermore nuclear technology could be grouped into the clean and safe technology. One of Nuclear program in Indonesia is development of Experimental Power Reactor (RDE) in Puspiptek, Serpong. Safety aspect in nuclear reactor technology covering site, construction and technology. One of the important site safety aspect is volcanology aspect, because of a volcanic event is could occur before, during, and after volcanic eruption which has the potency in producing hazard threats. The volcanic aspect assessment is to understanding the characteristics of volcanism and capabilities of volcanic hazards. In the 150 km radius from RDE site, there are six capable volcanoes, which are covering Anak Krakatau, Gede, Salak, Tangkubanparahu, Guntur volcanoes possessing different probability based on the eruption index. This paper focusing on the lahar hazard analysis from Gede and Salak Volcano. Analysis method conducted in this research is probabilistic of lahar. This method is combining of DEM with 9 m/pixel resolution and analysis using LAHARZ software. Even so, the volcano hazard evaluation towards the site is conducted with a hazard potency source from the phenomenon of the Salak and Gede volcanoes which are at a distance respectively of 41 km and 60 km from the RDE site. The Salak and Gede volcanoes are ones type of active volcanoes which show volcanic activity since 1600 until now. The maximum lahar potency using in this analysis are 60 million m3 from Salak Volcano produces a distribution spread of 35.35 km. Meanwhile, the reach of the lahar from Gede Volcano is 37.7 km. Therefore the lahar does not give any impacts to the RDE site.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
