Provision on Radioactive Waste Management Reregulated

Government  Regulation No. 61 of 2013 on Radioactive Waste Management (“2013 Regulation”) has recently been issued.

The main purpose of the 2013 Regulation is to redefine provisions on the collection, categorization, processing, transport, storage and disposal of radioactive waste by the National Nuclear Power Agency (Badan Tenaga Nuklir Nasional - “BATAN”)[1] and entities that produces radioactive waste (“Producers”).

Radioactive waste is defined as a substance, materials, or equipment that was exposed to radioactive materials or has become radioactive and is no longer usable (Art. 1 (2), 2013 Regulation).
