Reference excerpt

Reaktor Serba Guna–Gerrit Augustinus Siwabessy (RSG-GAS) (Multipurpose Reactor–Gerrit Augustinus Siwabessy) is a research reactor located in the Serpong neighborhood of South Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia. The reactor plays an important role in the Centre for Nuclear Industry Development, at Puspiptek, Serpong to serve other supporting laboratories, namely, radioisotope production, nuclear material science, reactor fuel element development, reactor safety, waste treatment, radio-metallurgy and nuclear-mechano laboratories. The reactor was constructed through a $50 million contract with Interatom Internationale Atomreaktorbau GmbH, a unit of the West German steelmaker Kraftwerke Union, which was awarded in 1981. The reactor's fuel rods have originated in the United States, France and the United Kingdom; the fuel was enriched in the United States and Russia. The International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards the reactor. It was inaugurated by the second President of Indonesia, Suharto on August 20, 1987. The reactor was named after G.A. Siwabessy, Minister of Health and Minister of Atomic Energy under both president Sukarno and Suharto. RSG-GAS went to its first criticality on July 29, 1987. The nominal power of 30 MW thermal was achieved on March 23, 1992, at the sixth core containing 40 standard fuel elements and 8 control fuel elements.

Notes

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Reaktor Serba Guna G.A. Siwabessy

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Reaktor Serba Guna G.A. Siwabessy claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Reaktor Serba Guna G.A. Siwabessy before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Reaktor Serba Guna G.A. Siwabessy ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Reaktor Serba Guna G.A. Siwabessy

In research: Reaktor Serba Guna G.A. Siwabessy appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Reaktor Serba Guna G.A. Siwabessy in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Reaktor Serba Guna G.A. Siwabessy is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Indonesian building and structure stubs, Nuclear and atomic physics stubs, Nuclear research reactors, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Reaktor Serba Guna G.A. Siwabessy outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
