Indonesia Could be Major Regional Player in Nuclear Power: IAEA Official Jennifer Jett

Jakarta. Indonesia is well positioned to develop nuclear power should it choose to, an international nuclear energy official visiting Jakarta said on Friday.

Glyn Davies, in his first trip to Indonesia as United States representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) this week, said that Indonesia is among nations with the best nuclear infrastructure in Southeast Asia.

He said this infrastructure included research reactors and trained personnel.

“Indonesia is a regional leader, in fact to such a great extent that other countries sometimes come to Indonesia and poach the talent that’s here — the physicists and the others that have been built up over the decades,” he said. More at link:
