The benefits of nuclear are still covered by various assumptions. So far, there are many negative assumptions about this one energy. The reason is, nuclear energy is one of the extraordinary fears because of the issue of using nuclear as a weapon of war in several countries.
However, nuclear actually saves its benefits for human life.
The first benefit of nuclear is that it can be felt in the agricultural sector. Massive nuclear energy can help agriculture through genetic engineering and mutations in plants.
This can certainly improve the quality of plant seeds that are superior and productive. One example of a product that has now been successfully produced from nuclear benefits is the Sidenuk rice variety. Sidenuk is an acronym for Si Nuclear Dedication.
Indonesia, which is known as an agricultural country, now needs to reconsider the use of nuclear energy. Therefore, the benefits of nuclear can be felt to support better agricultural results.
The next nuclear benefit can be felt in the health sector. The benefits of nuclear in the health sector are carried out through the use of radioisotopes that can be made with high quality.
These good quality radioisotopes can then be used for the treatment of various diagnostic internal diseases to chronic diseases such as cancer.
Of course, this can help medical personnel to provide precise and accurate diagnosis of disease to patients by determining the position of the source of health problems that attack the body.
In addition to agriculture and health, nuclear benefits can also be felt in the energy sector. Although this is still a matter of controversy because of the huge catastrophic risk of developing nuclear energy.
So far, nuclear energy has always been closely associated with some terrible historical events such as the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombs in World War II ago. So this certainly forms a negative perception of nuclear energy.
Although it seems terrible, the benefits of nuclear can actually be felt for the survival of human life for the better. However, before taking advantage of nuclear energy, it is better to provide adaptive measures for the community. Some of these adaptive steps are such as the construction of a Nuclear Power Plant (PLTN) which can slowly support energy. By feeling the benefits slowly, the perception of nuclear energy will begin to be broken.
Besides being useful for human life, nuclear also has several advantages including cheapness, great potential in Indonesia, producing energy with a larger capacity, so that it can be a solution to the energy crisis.
The National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN) explained that nuclear energy tends to cost less to operate than other energy sources. This relatively cheap cost will certainly reduce state spending so that it can be allocated to other things for the progress of the nation and state.
Although the costs incurred to build various instruments to generate nuclear power are quite high, it never hurts to consider the advantages and benefits of nuclear power in the long term. Besides being cheap, another advantage of nuclear energy is that the energy produced tends to be larger than other energies. This can happen because nuclear power and power is greater than other energies.
Therefore, nuclear power will be very helpful in the industrial and economic fields. Nuclear power will be appropriately used as fuel in processing plants or refining smelters to the mining industry.
Indonesia, which is rich in natural resources, also has great potential for nuclear power. In some areas of Indonesia, such as Kalimantan, Papua, and NTT, it is claimed to have uranium resources.
This high uranium content is the main source of nuclear energy. Not least, the uranium content in various parts of Indonesia is claimed to be up to 60 thousand tons.
This large amount of resources certainly needs to be utilized for human survival. One thing that is of concern is our awareness as humans to use it wisely and not excessively. The last advantage of nuclear energy is that it can be a solution to the energy crisis. It is known that fossil energy, which continues to decrease until now, needs to be replaced with other alternative energy.
Meanwhile, other renewable energy also has the potential to be produced but only on a small scale, unlike nuclear energy which can be produced in large quantities.
