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

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.
