Abstract
Land needs for energy infrastructure needs, such as the construction of the planned NPP in Jepara, Central Java, often lead to conflicts with the communities because they consider the existence of this infrastructure will Cause environmental damage. One of the solutions studied to improve the development and move the nuclear power plant is to move the location of the nuclear power plant from land to offshore. Besides, Indonesia has a potentially special offshore site on the eastern Sumatra coastline, northern Java coastline, and the Kalimantan coastline. The purpose of this paper is to review the environmental aspects of the implementation of GBS Nuclear power plant in Indonesia. The method used is the review of the literature and subsequently conducted a descriptive analysis. The results showed that SMART offshore NUCLEAR power plants should be considered because it offers clean energy sources, improved safety aspects, availability of offshore sites, and better community of acceptance.
