ABSTRACT
STUDY OF NUCLEAR FUEL CYCLE INFRASTRUCTURE IN INDONESIA. The government of Indoensia planned to utilize nuclear power plant for future electric source. This implied in Government Regulation No. 5 Year 2006 regarding the National Energy Policy and Act No. 17 Year 2007 regarding the National Planning year 2005 – 2025. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Nuclear Energy Series No. NG-T-3.2 stated that there were 19 infrastructure topics that have to be evaluated and prepared, one of it was the insfrastructure study on nuclear fuel cycle. Spent fuel has a high economic value but still contain a high risk, therefore it required a proper management. Generally, nuclear fuel cycle consists of once through fuel cycle an closed fuel cycle. Each have their own advantages and disadvantages. This infrastructure study was need in order to support the stake holders in deciding appropriate and profitable nuclear fuel cycle strategy for Indonesia in the long term in nuclear power plant would be operated.

Key words: infrastructure, nuclear fuel, NPP
