From what I read online, enriching uranium for nuclear power plant (< 20% 235U) and for weapons-grade content (> 85% 235U) are very different paths in the last stages (they are similar in the early stages). Weapons-grade requires much more specialised tools which can sometimes be monitored (unless they buy from "rogue states" like N. Korea). Having light water nuclear reactors does NOT = Having nuclear weapons. That is why there are a lot more counties with nuclear power plants than countries with nuclear weapons.

I am wondering why isn't Malaysia raising a rackus? If Indon can build it, I think Sinkapoore shld also build one. So long we not the first one to build - build one at P.Seraya. Otherwise how can power 6.5m ppl?

I think Malaysia shld raise voice - not only there are worries about mgt, treatment of wastes, also Indon is in the earthquake belt...what if earthquake / tsunami strike? we will be fried like frogs in Chernobyl....

Malaysia is thinking if Indon can build it.. so can MY... hehe

Kalimantan has plenty of resources. Untapped. So if they were to utilse it properly , i dun think they will get any poorer.

but the earthquake.. yup... BOOM...

Does it dangerous to have Nuclear reactor? You see, If we have nuclear rector, It only cost de-stabilized, and causing and armed races in the region

I don't think we really have any space for a nuclear accident on our land... other countries can tank the destruction and mark off square kilometers of wasteland... can we?

I think we best fully exploit our current sources before we decide to follow other people's folly.

that brain of theirs , that plant wont last long.

was hoping of them to build 1 though , cos i wanna see how they suffer when it fails

I think we'll suffer too... their loss in this area is no gain to us.

Run well, nuclear power is extremely safe... in fact probably the safest form of power we know... however it also has the capacity of a lot of destruction and throw in all the factors like corruption, instability and what have you not... I don't think Indonesia is exactly the best place to have nuclear reactors.

Anyway doesnt mean that Aussieland cannot project their power means they can do anything. They are best of buddies with Uncle Sam and UK. Sanctions and what not will seriosuly affect their economy and political stability.

And we shouldnt be looking forward to a nuclear accident. what if monsoon and the radioactive gases gets blown to our shores?! Dont say it wont happen cos the haze comes from Indon!

I hope they situate it far away. I dont feel safe living so near to a nuclear bomb. I seriously think they shd sort out their corruption problem before jumping on to something so major.
