Establishment of a networking to support the effective nuclear reactor licensing process through a transdisciplinary approach

The complexity problem and challenges encountered in nuclear installation licensing services incapacitate the license evaluation to be executed by BAPETEN. A transdisciplinary approach is demanded to overcome the problem of nuclear reactor licensing evaluation. The establishment of networking and collaboration between generalist and specialist evaluators by involving several stakeholders can provide solutions for licensing evaluation to satisfy the evaluation and revision time according to the applicable laws and regulations. Stakeholder’s support for the establishment of networking and collaborations is 61 % latents, 19.4 % promoters, 2.8 % from apathetics, and 16.8 % defenders. Persuasive communication strategies can change stakeholder support for the establishment of the networking and collaborations by 33.9 % latents, 46.5 % promoters, 2.8 % apathetics, and 16.8 % defenders. With the shift from latents stakeholders provoking an increase in promoters from 19.4 % to 46.5 % is expected to accelerate the collaboration of generalists and specialists in assisting the licensing process of nuclear installations and materials.
