Indonesia population is projected increase at 19.67% by the year of 2035 compared <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> to 2015. It means, the people in Indonesia will reach the number of 305,362,400 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> people. Indonesia will face various demographic challenges along with this event. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> One of them is energy problem; population is rising, hence energy demand will rise <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> too. Fossil energy is the main energy source of Indonesia; from vehicles to electric <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> energy. In the other hand, if we look at Indonesia production of oils and natural <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> gases at 2015 compared to 2005, it is decreasing at 26.03% for oils and 0.33% at <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> natural gases. The worst thing is, by the year of 2035, Indonesia stockpile of oils <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> will completely run out if Indonesia did not make anew exploration. The point <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> of fact, Indonesia really needs a new alternative energy source to resolving this <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> problem. Nuclear energy is one option of this alternative energy that have a good <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> prospect to Indonesia. Besides the ratio of energy produced per fuel mass is very <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> high, nuclear fuel stockpiles still have a great number in earth crust. This thesis <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> will introduce Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) as power plant for alternative <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> energy. This reactor is classify as a fast spectrum neutron reactor and have some <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> start-up mechanism. This reactor is also developing in France. This thesis will be <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> using SRAC (Standard thermal Reactor Analysis Code System), which developed <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> by Japan, to compare 3 fuel con_gurations of MSFR, which is ThF4 + U233F4, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ThF4 + PuF3, and ThF4 + (TRU)F3 by calculate its neutronic aspect. E_ective <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> multiplication factor, conversion ratio, nuclide density, power density distribution, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Doppler coe_cient and e_ect of decreasing molten salt LiF will be analyzed. <br />
