Technical licensing issues of high-temperature gas-cooled reactor in Indonesia.

Valuable licensing experience of High-Temperature Gas-Cooled reactors has been accumulated worldwide during the construction of AVR, Peach Bottom, FS Vrain, THTR, HTTR, HTR-10, and HTR-PM. Indonesia has limited licensing experience as one of the new countries in realizing this technology. In addition, the existing regulations and standards available in Indonesia are based more on water-cooled reactors. Considering the experience of these previously HTGR developed countries, Indonesia can learn how to overcome these technical issues, especially from the advancement of HTR-PM construction. This paper aims to discuss the licensing experience of HTGR in Indonesia and the technical issues that can be challenging during the licensing of HTGR in Indonesia. The paper investigates the current regulatory and licensing applied in Indonesia concerning the technical issues areas. The experience of Indonesia during RDE 10MWth licensing will also be discussed, including the previously constructed HTGR highlighted. Furthermore, the licensing gap and recommendations that can benefit future constructed nuclear power plants worldwide, especially in Indonesia, will also be provided in this paper.
