National Nuclear Energy Agency of Indonesia

Badan Tenaga Nuklir Nasional Unggul di kawasan regional

History
The National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN) is the only non departmental government institution which conducts expertise education in the field of nuclear technology Diploma-IV Program, through which is called Polytechnic Institute of Nuclear Technology (STTN).
Polytechnic Institute of Nucelar Technology was established on the basis of the idea in opening a diploma program for technicians at the end of the year 1982 which is the meeting between the Head of the Center for Education and Training with the Director General of BATAN which was driven by the need of high quality technicians that are capable to function as a contact person between the technicians and the researchers. In early 1983, this idea was developed by forming a Work Unit for the Preparation of Education for Nuclear Technical Experts based on the Letter of Decision of the Director General of BATAN No. 08/DJ/07/I/1983. Considering that the process to conduct this duty shall need time, the duty of the Work Unit was extended by Decision Letter of the Dir.Gen. of BATAN No.81/DJ/V/1984. After all the preparation of hardware as well as the software became much better, a Duty Unit for management of the Education of Nuclear Expertise Education was formed by Letter of Decision of the Dir.Gen. of BATAN No. 53/DJ/IV/1985.  On the date 3rd August 1985 the Education for Nuclear Technique Expertise with the abbreviation PATN in Yogyakarta was officially opened by the Director General of BATAN, Ir. Djali Ahimsa. The operational Permit from the Dir.Gen. for Higher Education was obtained with the Letter of Decision of Dir.Gen. for Higher Education No. 1640/D/O/86 dated 15 September 1986.

The enhancement of PATN (which conducts the Program up to Diploma III) to become STTN is in the frame of fulfilling the need of human resources (HRT) who are educated, skilled and having a higher technical and academic capacity. Because of this, since1998 the STTN-BATAN was pioneered, with the career of Diploma IV Program. In the process of establishment of STTN, in the month of August 1999 a meeting was held between BATAN with the National Education Department (formerly Department for Education and Culture) which discussed the plan in establishment of STTN. Furthermore, on 31 August 1999 BATAN applied for the establishment of STTN-BATAN. To the Department for Education and Culture. After improvement of the proposal and evaluation of the feasibility of the establishment of STTN, on the date 21 February 2001 a presentation was conducted by the Head of PATN in front of Team P5D (Center for Development of Polytechnique Education and Diploma Program) of the National Education Department which was continued with a review of the means and facilitation existing like the lecture rooms and lab oratory facilities. The result was that STTN-BATAN was stated as feasible to be established, with the approval of the National Education Department dated 15March 2001 and by Letter of Decision of Dir.Gen. for Higher Education Number 1013/D/T/2001.
The approval for opening of the Faculty and Study program in STTN-BATAN in Yogyakarta by the Dir.Gen. for Higher Education on 20 March 2001 covers 2 Faculties with 3 Study Programs with letter Number 1037/D/T/2001, which are the Faculty of Nuclear Technochemistry with 1 study program of nuclear chemical engineering and the Faculty of Nuclear Technophysics with 2 Study Programs, which is the study program of instrumentation electronics and thestudy program of electromechanic.

After discussions between BATAN and the Ministry for Empowerment of the State Apparatus (MENPAN) finally, on the date 8th June 2001 a Presidential Decision Number 71 year 2001 was issued regarding the establishment of a School for Higher Learning on Nuclear Technology. This Decision was further acted upon by a Decision of the Head of BATAN Number 360/KA/VII/2001 regarding the Organization and Working Procedures of STTN. On the date 24 August 2001 STTN was opened officially by the Minister for Research and Technology, Ir. M. Hatta Rajasa with the signing of a memorial plaque which is now placed in front of STTN.
