So, he appealed to the people around the contaminated area not to be too panicked.Moreover, the government has also limited access to entry into the region.
“Not from the radioactive source itself. From contaminated goods. So it is actually relatively easy to overcome, actually,” Laksana said met at UGM, Sleman, DIY, Wednesday (1/10).
“If that access has been limited to the location of the points, yes. So actually there is no need to panic too much. Because it is only a exposure from passive sources, if our term,” he continued.
However, Laksana said that the main source of pollution was still in deepening or forensic research by Brin together with the Criminal Investigation Police Headquarters.He himself could not reveal the results of the temporary analysis from his institution related to the trigger of this pollution.
From the examination, Hanif explained, the special team found 10 Cesium 137 contamination points with different forces around the Modern Cikande industrial area.So far, the two locations have been declared to have been completed in the decontamination
The government itself has officially set a Cesium 137 contamination in the Modern Cikande Industrial Estate, Serang Regency, Banten as a special event for radiation contamination.
In the aftermath of the status, access to the entry and exit of vehicles and goods in the area will be monitored by the joint team.Based on monitoring, the guard post that has been established at the entrance of the Cikande Modern Industrial Estate is guarded by a joint team from Brimob, Bapeten, Brin to the Ministry of Environment.
The location exposed, has been fitted with a police line or the Environmental Protection Supervision Line (PPLH) and the signboard of the prohibition crossed.This step is to prevent people from entering the area.
All vehicles in and out are checked using the Radiation Portal Monitoring (RPM).If something is exposed to radiation, it will be decontaminated first before being allowed to continue the journey.
Findings in Surabaya
Not only in Cikande, the United States Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (FDA) also found a radioactive contamination at the location of the clove exporter company in Surabaya, East Java.
However, the Minister of Environment, Hanif Faisol Nurofiq, stated that the level of radiation at the PT NJS clove processing plant in East Java was in normal conditions.
“Once again, for the cloves in Surabaya. The search results, we do not meet the contamination in the factory,” Hanif said after the signing of the Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) cooperation with Global Verra carbon standards in Jakarta, Friday (3/10) night, as reported by Antara.
Hanif, who also serves as the daily chairman of the task force (task force) for handling the harmfulness of the radionucleuly-137 radionuclear radion, explained that the report from the Nuclear Power Supervisory Agency (BAPETEN) showed that the radiation rate at the factory location ranged from 0.04-0.07 Microsievert, the number considered from natural radiation.
“However, we are still waiting for the re-import, which then suspect returned from the US is like what the item is like, it is only on the 30th. So thus, actually the factory is safe,” he added.
