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

Sedimentation is the most traditional separation technique and it is relying on efficient coagulation and flocculation to produce flocs with good settling properties. Bogowonto River and Progo River belong to South Serayu Area. There are similar geological processes that affected the river forming process i.e., erosional process, provenance, and fault systems. The sand sedimentation process for each river could be different due to geometry and river morphology. This research aims to reveal the possible parameters that affected the sedimentary process and sediment material along the stream river. Granulometric analysis was done in this research. Samples were taken from 3 points (upstream, middle, and downstream) of Bogowonto river and Progo river. Statistically, the upstream and middle stream of Bogowonto River shows more dunes and beach environment characters than Progo River. It could be interpreted if Bogowonto has more deposit plain like point bar than Progo River. The downstream area has been interpreted as the upper part of estuarine due to river and beach environment. The volcanic arc (Tertiary & Quarternary) is the main sediment source for these rivers. The sediment supply of the Progo River is strongly influenced by Merapi’s eruption whereas Bogowonto river is dominated by reworked Old Andesite Formation (OAF) & Sumbing’s material. Morphologically, Bogowonto has more meandering features than Progo that indicates the development of river stage in a long time and wide distributed sediment materials.

Abstract

Site evaluation is an important phase of site selection for commercial-scale nuclear power plants (NPP) in Indonesia. Geotechnical and radioactive material dispersion aspects are some of the aspects which are assessed in site evaluation under provisions of laws and regulations. To support those aspect evaluations, it is necessary to conduct hydrogeological characterization in the vicinity of the NPP site. The purpose of this study is to determine the hydrogeological characteristic of the vicinity of the NPP site in Bengkayang Regency, West Kalimantan Province based on geological and geophysical aspects. The methods of this study consist of geomorphological mapping, geological mapping, hydrogeological mapping, geoelectric measurement, and integrated analysis. The study area consists of three morphological units: alluvial plain, isolated hills, and coastal plain. Stratigraphically, the lithology units of the study area, from the oldest to the youngest, consist of andesite, granodiorite, diorite, quartz sand deposits, coastal deposits, and alluvial deposits. The geophysical measurement used is the geoelectric method which is conducted at 12 electrode arrays with 470 m length and spacing of 10 m. In the geoelectrical section, it can be seen that several anomalies can be interpreted as the fractured body of igneous rocks or the diorite intrusion in andesite. These anomaly values are ranged from 300 Wm to >8000 Wm. The relatively low resistivity values (<30 Wm) are interpreted as water saturated-alluvial deposits that could have a thickness of ±100 m. There are three hydrogeological units in the study area: aquifers in which flow is intergranular with high permeability, aquifers in which flow is intergranular with moderate permeability, and aquifug of local importance. Generally, the groundwater in the study area flows from SSW to NNE.

Abstract

The existence of an active fault with a reverse fault mechanism in the Plampang area is successfully delineated from the distribution of the relocated hypocenter, the moment tensor inversion, and the Coulomb stress changes. This study also reveals the source of the earthquake in the active fault with a relatively shallow depth which can be a threat on Sumbawa Island if the maximum magnitude is released in the future. Seismicity from hypocenter relocation shows the distribution of the epicenter with a southwest–northeast direction. It is also supported by the moment tensor inversion result which shows the fault plane trending southwest–northeast (N2240E) with a steep dip (490). The vertical section of seismicity in the dip direction shows that the slope of the plane has a lower angle with increasing depth. The lower angle of a fault plane shows a decollement structure at a depth of 10–15 km and gradually becomes steep as a splay fault structure at a depth of 0–10 km. It is consistent with the result of moment tensor inversion which shows the mechanism of a reverse fault that occurred at a depth of 7 km. The Coulomb stress changes show the stress increasing outside the fault plane area, which triggers aftershocks. The distribution of aftershocks shows a hypothetical fault plane of 19 km long and 12 km wide. A fault of this size has the potential to generate an earthquake with a magnitude maximum of Mw 6.4. The Sumbawa earthquake on June 13, 2020, having M 5.3 was caused by a small part of the activity from the fault.

Abstract

Presidential Regulation (Perpres) number 38 of 2018 concerning the National Research Master Plan for 2017–2045, the Government of Indonesia establishes several main areas that will become national research priorities, one of which is the energy sector. In the research theme of electricity technology based on new and renewable low/zero carbon energy, there is the topic of research on commercial-scale Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) technology. On the research topic, it was determined that within the research period of 2020–2024, a prototype nuclear power plant would be produced. Research related to the geotechnical characterization of the nuclear power plant site using the seismic refraction method was carried out to complement the previous research data. The purpose of this study was to determine the subsurface rock layer profile for estimation of work related to nuclear power plant foundations. Geological mapping and geophysical data acquisition, processing, as well as soil/rock interpretation based on the compression wave velocity (Vp) parameter are carried out to achieve this goal. The results of geological mapping show that there are 2 igneous rock units, namely quartz diorite and andesite. The results of processing and interpreting seismic refraction data produced a cross-sectional model of Vp in the subsurface rock layers. There are 3 rock layers in the research location, namely soil layer (Vp = 361–715 m/s), weathered igneous rock layer (Vp = 1.386–2,396 m/s), and fresh igneous layer (Vp = 3.789–6.133 m/s). The estimated density of fresh igneous rock based on calculations is 2.43–2.74 g/cm3. The modeling results can show the depth and structure of the subsurface layer of fresh igneous rock that can be the foundation of nuclear power plants.

Abstract

Bandar Lampung is a densely populated urban area consisting of land and water with several plateaus and mountains that stretch across this region. To support sustainable development in a city area, it is necessary to have a regional arrangement concept that considers all aspects, one of which is the potential disaster aspect. One of the potential disasters in Bandar Lampung, especially in Panjang District is a mass movement/landslide. Based on previous research, this area has been recorded as having several historical points of landslides, but there is no mitigation/response specifically for this type of disaster. The purpose of this study was to determine the arrangement of rocks that are in the landslide-prone zone in Panjang District using the geoelectric resistivity method and to analyze the soil engineering assessment obtained from the results of lithological analysis using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The results of the geoelectric analysis indicate that there are three lithological layers in the study area; namely tuff sediments with resistivity values and depths between (1–40 Ωm; 0.4–4 m), clay sand (40–120 Ωm; 2–4 m), and solid breccias with igneous rock components (>120 Ωm; 2–22 m). Furthermore, based on the results of the analysis of soil engineering assessments, tuff sediment as a surface layer that has experienced landslides has been identified as having susceptible lithological engineering properties because it has undergone quite intensive oxidation and weathering. The data obtained is expected to be used as supporting data for disaster potential-based regional planning.

Abstract

Monazite is a by-product of tin processing containing phosphate, rare earth elements, and radioactive elements such as uranium and thorium. These elements can be utilized optimally if separated from one another through processing. Monazite processing includes decomposition, partial dissolution, and precipitation processes. The separation of rare earth elements from radioactive elements in monazite is carried out through a partial dissolution process, but the separation is not optimal so that further processes are needed to increase the recovery of these elements. In this study, the process was carried out using two methods, namely total dissolution with hydrochloric acid (HCl) which aims to dissolve all elements in the precipitate and precipitation with ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) which aims to separate radioactive elements and rare earth elements. Both methods were carried out under optimum process conditions with various variations in pH, temperature, and time. Based on observations, it was found that the optimum solubility of each element was 67.6% uranium, 15.3% thorium and 50.8% LTJ under the dissolving process conditions of pH 1, at 80°C for 2 hours. While in the deposition process, the precipitation recovery of each element is 57% uranium, 75.7% thorium, 4.8% rare earth metals at pH 6 conditions. Based on these data, it can be concluded that uranium, thorium, and rare earth elements can be dissolved at pH 1, at 80°C for 2 hours, and can be separated at pH 6 precipitation conditions.

Abstract

The composition of biofuel (BF) in mixed oil fuel (MOF) has been determined using the C-14 direct counting method. Determination of the composition of BF in MOF was carried out by pipetting 10 mL of BBMC into a glass vial and then adding 10 mL of Ultima Gold F (UGF) scintillator solution into it. The vial was shaken so that the mixture became homogeneous and then counted using the Elmer Perkin 2900TR LSC (Liquid Scintillation Counter) for 20 minutes for 30 cycles. The results of the counting are displayed in the form of tSIE (transformed external standard spectrum) and cpm (counts per minute). The results of the analysis show that the value of cpm increases with the increase in the percentage of BF in MOF. The lowest and highest cpm values for gasoline, avtur, and diesel samples were 14.2363 and 62.0343, 10.664 and 44.535, and 9.410 and 61.789, respectively. There is a strong correlation between tSIE and cpm values for gasoline and diesel but not for avtur. The results of the analysis of the test sample indicate that the sample is outside the sample series graph. This direct counting method is expected to be a reference in the BBMC quality test.
