London, (Antara)- Indonesia encourages the strengthening of international cooperation in the field of nuclear safety and security as well as the application of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes within the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA).
"The impetus was conveyed by Ambassador to the United Nations and other International Organizations Rachmat Budiman during the IAEA Board of Governors' session, which took place in Vienna, Austria, on September 7-11," Counselor of the Indonesian Embassy in Vienna Dody Kusumonegoro stated here on Friday.
As Chairman of the Indonesian delegation, Ambassador Budiman also reiterated Indonesia's commitment to assisting other developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region and Africa, especially in the application of nuclear technology in various developments.
In the field of nuclear safety, the ambassador lauded the cooperation between Indonesia and the IAEA for developing infrastructure and improving the safety culture.
"Indonesia has a good track record of safety and security in the field of nuclear technology, but capacity development should be carried out to address the challenges of development and the utilization of nuclear technology. It is important as Indonesia plans to build nuclear power plants in the near future," he emphasized.
Various activities carried out in collaboration with the IAEA comprised safety review of simulation, safety culture, and self-assessment as well as cooperation in developing and strengthening nuclear infrastructure.
After the nuclear power plant accident in Japan, the international community continues to improve its nuclear safety standards worldwide.(*)
