IRJ Sep 2 - Indonesia’s International Nuclear Energy Agency says that they
have a basis for building nuclear power plants with their 53,000 ton reserve of
uranium.
There is an estimated 24,000 tons of uranium in Bangka  Belitung Province.
29,000 tons of uranium in the Province of West Kalimantan, according to the
deputy for development of cycle technology of nuclear substance and engineering
at the National Nuclear Energy Agency, Dr. Djarot S. Wisnubroto.
Regardless of the excess of uranium Djarot claims the country may not be mining
there because of the cheap price in uranium.
He said to press,"It would be more efficient for us to buy it from other
countries," he advised. "The uranium reserve could be used for the future."
