TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: The State Minister for Research and Technology Kusmayanto Kadiman agrees with the argument for the establishment nuclear power plant in Indonesia as it can be a lesson for the public. “So there will be no accusation from one party to another,” he said in a discussion at the National Atomic Energy Agency yesterday.

He emphasized that any decision is a good one either from the pro or con side. “We will choose someone to study nuclear.” The idea for having a nuclear power plant has emerged since the era of former President Soekarno. Neighboring countries like Australia, Malaysia, and Vietnam have established nuclear power plants. So, the consideration of nuclear power’s negative impact should include these countries. “As it will impact us,” Kusmayanto said.
