From the Asia Research Centre:
REACTORS ON THE RING OF FIRE: IMPLICATIONS FOR INDONESIA'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM
Working Paper 65
by August Schlapfer

Working Paper 65 clearly outlines the Indonesian plans to establish a number
of nuclear reactors on the island of Java. Java is located on the 'Ring of
Fire', the intersection of two tectonic plates which causes pressure
build-up in the Earth's crust and large earth movements. The placement of
any nuclear power plant in such an unstable geographic area is difficult to
understand. Schlapfer examines the issues surrounding Indonesian energy
policy; describes some contending views on nuclear power within the Suharto
government; projects the implications for Indonesia and its neighbours,
including Australia, of a Chernobyl-type accident and discusses the
financial considerations facing Indonesia in its choice of power generation.
The paper discusses alternatives that would  be economically as well as
environmentally more viable.
