Nestled kilometers south of Jakarta lies the Gasiwa Bessie nuclear reactor—the largest nuclear research facility in Southeast Asia. Operating since 1987, this highly secure site employs uranium fuel, and when at full capacity, it produces around 30 megawatts of electricity, powering roughly 30,000 homes. Its primary purpose is research rather than electricity production, exploring nuclear science as a potential future energy source for Indonesia.
