This study analyzed the conception of national nuclear emergency preparedness system (NNEPS) from the state defense perspective approach. A case study qualitative method was used to explore and analyze comprehensively the NNEPS problems in Indonesia. The study used requirements from relevance regulations either from nuclear energy regulations, disaster management regulations, and state defense regulations as the tool to assess the implementations of the system. Results showed that current problem of the NNEPS is the system has not been synergized and integrated into the disaster management system. This condition answering question why the NNEPS has not been fully implemented at local government and central government levels. From the state defense perspective, the integrated NNEPS from the licensee level to the central government levels is needed to be prepared early by the government. It is as an effort to prevent the development of nuclear incident becomes a nuclear emergency or disaster which may disrupt national security, public security and human security. Thus, there is a need for the government to undertake collaborative governance policies and facilitative leadership approach to solve current problems. Through collaboration capacity and resources, weaknesses at one institution are strengthened by capacity and resources from other institutions. The suggested approach is in line with the essence of the state defense that is to build our own national resilience by using all national resources.
