Utilization of Nuclear Energy in the Perspective of Health Medicine
However, according to him, the use of renewable energy sources is still very limited and on a small scale. PLTA is less likely to be built on the island of Java. Sunlight energy (solar) is constrained by the high cost of solar cells and the small amount of energy produced because of its discontinuous nature. Geothermal energy (geothermal) is very potential but not always where geographical constraints are needed). Energy that comes from the wind is also difficult to predict considering the speed and direction of the wind at the equator is not always the same.
Meanwhile, Chairperson of the NETHESCO 09 National Seminar SC, AR Vertando Halim, explained that the problem of the energy crisis is our shared responsibility, including students. "Students have the role of agent of trigger so that the government places nuclear energy as an alternative energy for the progress of the nation," said the UII Faculty of Medicine student.
This seminar presented a number of speakers, namely dr. Tatan Saefudin Sp.Rad., M.Kes. (Head of Sub-Directorate for Radiology Services of the Indonesian Ministry of Health), Dr. Ir. Arnold Spetrisnanto (PT. Medco Power Indonesia), Setiayanto (Head of Center for Nuclear Technology and Safety) and Suparlan (WALHI Yogyakarta).
When talking about nuclear, the things that usually come to mind are wars, weapons, and accidents. Of course this is reasonable considering the world is still imagining the Chernobyl reactor accident in the Soviet Union, the Three Miles Island reactor accident in the US, and the destruction of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki due to the atomic bombing in Japan.
