Indonesia is very rich in natural resources. Uranium is a mining product that is very potential but its utilization has not been maximized. The amount of uranium is estimated to reach 7000 tons spread across Melawi-West Kalimantan, Bangka Belitung, Mamuju-West Sulawesi, Sibolga-North Sumatra, and Biak-Papua. Uranium is a radioactive material and is a very potential energy. The use of nuclear power in several developed countries covers various fields of community life, such as research, agriculture, health, industry and energy. However, in addition to the enormous benefits, nuclear power also has the potential for radiation hazards to workers, community members and the environment. This paper will analyze the regulation of nuclear mining permits in Indonesia and government-owned authorities regarding the regulation and supervision of nuclear mines in Indonesia. In the existing arrangement, is the regional government given the authority to be involved in nuclear mining. If there is, what authority do local governments have. The position of the regional government must be really taken into account in the regulation related to nuclear mining, because the regions will feel the direct impact of nuclear mining. Good synergy between the central government and local governments is expected to minimize the negative impact of nuclear mining.
