The Nuclear Power Plant Concept with Ball in Bowl Design
Abstract
The increasing of national energy consumption urged the government to settle into renewable energy immediately (EBT) in order to fulfill national energy consumption, especially electrical energy. One of the options to fulfill the national electrical energy needed is by building a nuclear power plant (NPP). But, as one of the countries that located in Seismic Zone region of Southeast Asia, Indonesia has the most seismic activity in the world. Reviewing of Indonesia's geographical conditions that are vulnerable to earthquake and tsunami, it is necessary to make special design for nuclear power plant building. Ball in Bowl is the concept of nuclear power plant builing, with the wind flow modification system, it is useful to minimize the spread of radioactive substances released when a nuclear leak and also serves as the reactor protection system to the impacts caused by the earthquake and tsunami.
Keywords: ball in bowl; earthquake; nuclear power plant; tsunami
