Abstract

Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional memiliki fasilitas riset yang digunakan untuk penelitian terhadap bahan nuklir yang memiliki potensi bahaya radiasi yang dapat membahayakan pekerja. Untuk mengurangi potensi bahaya radiasi, dilakukan pemantauan radiasi secara rutin oleh pekerja. Untuk mengoptimalkan pemantauan radiasi tersebut, dilakukan pengembangan 3 (tiga) buah monitor radiasi dengan menggunakan 1 (satu) detektor radiasi Sintilasi (S) dan 2 (dua) buah detektor GM (GM dan GMT) yang nantinya dapat terpasang dan memantau radiasi secara real-time. Pengujian terhadap 3 (tiga) monitor radiasi yang dikembangkan dilakukan dalam penelitian ini untuk mengetahui keakuratan pengukuran masing-masing monitor radiasi. Pengujian yang dilakukan adalah pengujian regresi linear untuk mendapatkan model konversi dari satuan cacah per detik ke satuan mikrosievert per jam. Selain itu, dilakukan pengujian ANOVA untuk melihat apakah ada perbedaan signifikan antara pengukuran laju dosis dari ketiga monitor radiasi dibandingkan dengan surveymeter yang telah terkalibrasi. Pengujian Tukey HSD dilakukan untuk menguji masing-masing monitor radiasi hasil pengembangan dan dibandingkan dengan surveymeter yang terkalibrasi. Hasil pengujian regresi linear antara surveymeter (GS) dengan ketiga monitor radiasi didapatkan koefisien determinasi diatas 0,95. Pengujian ANOVA yang dilakukan didapatkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan rata-rata hasil pengukuran laju dosis radiasi yang signifikan dari masing masing monitor radiasi. Hasil pengujian Tukey HSD menunjukkan bahwa hanya salah satu monitor radiasi yang memiliki rata-rata nilai pengukuran laju dosis radiasi yang tidak berbeda secara signifikan dengan rata-rata nilai pengukuran laju dosis radiasi dari surveymeter terkalibrasi. Oleh karena itu monitor radiasi GMT yang telah dikembangkan merupakan monitor radiasi yang telah layak untuk digunakan dalam pemantauan radiasi pada fasilitas riset bahan nuklir.Kata kunci: Detektor radiasi, regresi linear, ANOVA

Abstract

Uranium and rare earth elements (REE) are essential elements for the development of green environmentally friendly, and sustainable energy. To meet the increasing demand for these raw materials, Indonesia has taken steps to explore and map potential deposits, including the Rirang Sector in Melawi Regency, West Kalimantan. However, the available information on the mineralization of these elements in the area is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to provide a detailed characterization on the petrology and geochemical characteristics of uranium ore and to synthesize the mineral genesis of uranium and REE-bearing ore in the Rirang Sector. The analytical methods used included petrography, micro-XRF, and geochemical analysis. The results showed that uranium mineralization was present in brannerites, uranophane, and swamboite associated with tourmaline and monazite ore. Similarly, REE concentrations were hosted by REE-bearing minerals, such as monazite, xenotime, and loparite. Geochemically, the uranium concentration in the monazite ore ranged from 1,110 – 28,440 ppm, while the total REE (TREE) concentration varied between 85,320 to 138,488 ppm. The formation of uranium and REE mineralization were due to the metasomatism process and its association with the Na-rich fluid of felsic intrusion. Notably, the weathering process did not enrich uranium and REE content in the soil but rather decreased it due to the leaching process and the absence of clay minerals capable of absorbing the REE cations on the surface of clay crystal structures.

Abstract

Bangka Island is an area rich in primary and secondary tin deposits. Tin deposits are formed around the contact between granite and older rocks, while secondary tin deposits are formed in the modern channels and paleochannels. Many previous researchers have researched radioactive minerals in primary tin deposits and modern channel deposits, but research on radioactive minerals in paleo channel deposits has never been carried out. The characterization of radioactive minerals in paleo channel deposits was done in this study to determine the potency of radioactive minerals in secondary tin deposits by comparing the content of radioactive minerals in paleochannels with modern channels and tin mine tailing deposits. The data used were mineralogical data and radioactivity data, along with the uranium and thorium content of the rocks from several previous studies. Data showed significant mineral content differences in paleo channel, modern channel, and tin mine tailings deposits. Mineral (monazite and zircon) content in tin mine tailing deposits was the highest. Source rocks for the radioactive minerals monazite and zircon are predicted to be the granitic rocks or tourmaline quartz veins of primary tin deposits. The radioactivity value of rocks in the paleo channel is relatively the same as the modern channel, ranging from 20 to 150 c/s. Uranium content in paleo channel is the same as modern channel deposits, ranging from 10 to 15 ppm eU. The thorium content of the rocks in the paleo channel ranges from 1 to 60 ppm eTh, while in the modern channel, it ranges from 1 to 45 ppm eTh. The radioactivity value and uranium content of the rocks are less effective for determining potential areas of radioactive minerals in placer tin deposits. In contrast, data on thorium content are quite effective for determining potential areas of radioactive minerals in placer tin deposits.

Abstract

Dago Volcano is a product of Miocene Sunda Arc volcanism located southeast of the capital city of Jakarta. The morphological change from flat lava flow to steeper lava morphology implies a process of magma evolution under Dago Volcano. This research provides an overview of the magma evolution that occurs on this volcano. The methods used include volcanostratigraphic analysis, petrographic analysis, mineral chemistry, and whole-rock geochemistry. The volcanostratigraphy of Dago Volcano is composed of two eruption centers and a flank eruption forming lava and cinder cones products. The mineralogical associations of Dago Volcano products include plagioclase, olivine, and clinopyroxene. The mineral textures of Dago edifices show zoning, sieve, and reaction rims textures. Geochemically, the Dago Volcano product has a magma affinity of med-K calc-alkaline with quite high levels of MgO, Ni, and Cr approaching the characteristics of primitive magma. The magma evolution process of Dago Volcano includes fractional crystallization and magma mixing which originates from the same magma source.

Abstract

The Makassar Strait Thrust – Mamuju Segment (MSTM) is a key structural feature influencing uranium (U), thorium (Th), and rare earth element (REE) mineralization in Mamuju, West Sulawesi. This study explores the relationship between tectonic deformation, weathering processes, and mineralization, focusing on the Rantedoda sector. Integrated geomorphic, geological, radiometric, petrographic, and geochemical analyses reveal that MSTM faults act as conduits for hydrothermal fluids, promoting mineral mobilization, alteration, and enrichment in fault zones. MSTM produced curved NW ̶ SE to N ̶ S thrusts torn by NE ̶ SW right-lateral strike-slip faults in the studied area. Radiometric data highlight anisotropic distributions of U, Th, and dose rates aligned with NE ̶ SW and NW ̶ SE fault trends. Geochemical indices demonstrate that weathering is critical for REE and Th enrichment, as high eTh and low K values indicate. Moreover, fault-facilitated hydrothermal clay alteration supports U adsorption, as noted by high values of all radiometric parameters in the area near a fault. These findings establish the critical role of fault systems in controlling mineralization processes, providing a framework for targeted exploration strategies in tectonically complex terrains of the Mamuju area.

Abstract

Gosong Beach in Bengkayang, West Kalimantan, is selected as a potential Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) site candidate. Volcanic and intrusive rocks are found in the radius of 150 km from it. Based on IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) standard, the main assessment target is volcanic rock that is younger than 10 Ma. However, there are Tertiary volcanic and intrusive rocks next to and cover a wide area around the NPP site that show volcanic activities over the Tertiary period. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate this group of rocks to understand its characteristics. This study aims to characterize the geochemistry and petrology of the Tertiary volcanic and intrusive rocks found in northwestern Kalimantan. The fieldwork was conducted to observe and to take Serantak volcanic rocks, Bawang dacite, Niut volcanics, and Sintang intrusion samples. The XRF and micro-XRF analyses were conducted to characterize the geochemical aspect, while petrography and AMICS analyses were conducted to characterize the mineralogical aspect. The result shows that Serantak volcanic rocks, Bawang dacite, Niut volcanics, and Sintang intrusion are derived from tholeiitic to calc-alkaline as a product of mantel partial melting in the subduction zone which go through fractional crystallization. The volcanic activity was initiated by the rise of primitive parental magma from partial melting in the shallow-depth subducted crust as indicated by the garnet-free HREE pattern, the enrichment of LILE and LREE, and the depleted HREE. The Tertiary magmatism in northwestern Kalimantan was found in a small activity with a small impact on the NPP candidate site at Gosong Beach, Bangkayang.

Abstract

Uranium explorations in Sibolga Area have been conducted since 1978 by BATAN and successfully result in sandstone-type uranium mineralization. Research related to uranium mineralization concept on sandstone and conglomerate at Aloban Sector, Sibolga has been conducted through 22 boreholes data which resulted in the geological section, anomaly distribution along with radiometry counting and geochemistry data. This research objective is to obtain uranium resources in Aloban Sector by correlating radiometry counting and geochemical data from previous research by using a geostatistic approach. Geostatistical processing using SGeMS software shows a correlation coefficient of 0.5 so that the radiometry and geochemical data are interpreted to have a good correlation. Uranium Resources estimation was measured on Conglomerate I and Sandstone I units which are considered to have thick and wide mineralization distribution. The average uranium grade for Conglomerate I and Sandstone I units are 173.05 ppm U and 161.54 ppm U respectively. Uranium resource estimation at Aloban Sector is 415 tons as inferred resources.

Abstract

There are several volcanic rocks in a radius of 150 km from where the Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) site project in West Kalimantan. The Mesozoic volcanic rocks have not been characterized for volcanic hazard evaluation purposes due to their old age. However, the distribution of Raya Volcanic Rocks that covers the site area and the wider area up to 150 kilometers from the site makes this rock group quite important to be characterized to find out how its activities in the past. This paper’s objective is to comprehend the distribution and characteristics of Raya Volcanic Rocks for NPP site volcanic hazard evaluation purposes. Fieldwork and lineament analyses were conducted to map and interpret the distribution of Raya Volcanic Rocks while mineralogical analysis using petrography and micro XRF were conducted to characterize the Raya Volcanic Rocks. The distribution of Raya Volcanic Rocks that relatively show NNW–SSE orientation is probably controlled by the NNW–SSE fault system. The analyses resulted that Raya Volcanic Rocks erupted as lava flows derived from mafic magma as a product of mantle partial melting that underwent crystal fractionation, injection of hotter/more Ca-rich magma, and magma mixing on an open-system magmatic process.

Abstract

Manual ore body modeling on Remaja Sector, Kalan, West Kalimantan generally takes a long time and is subjective. On the other hand, automatic modeling (implicit modeling) is faster, objective, and equipped with uncertainty factors. This study aimed to analyze the comparison between the geostatistical Sequential Indicator Simulation (SIS) ore body model to the manual ore body model. The lithology database was used as input for variogram analysis and SIS simulation. The directional variogram was used to construct an experimental variogram for the lithology with orientation data. The orientation of the lithologies corresponds to the anisotropy of their variogram map. The SIS was carried out in Block A and Block B with block sizes of 6×6×6 m3 and 5×5×5 m3 respectively. The simulation results were processed to produce a lithology probability model. By using maximum probability as block lithology, simulation results were well validated by the composite database histogram, the lithologies along the tunnel on the geological map of level 450 masl of Eko Remaja Tunnel., and the lithologies along boreholes. The weakness of the geostatistical ore body model was the results depending on the input parameters. Meanwhile, several advantages of the geostatistical ore body model were a faster processing process, equipped with an uncertainty factor, and the block size of the model has taken into account the distance between grade data so that it can be used directly for grade estimation. Quantitatively, the geostatistical ore body model had a higher average percentage of conformity to the lithology of the mineralized zone along the borehole than the manual ore body model
