Abstract. Based on the RUEN Law 2017 for the Master Plan for National Energy 2050, the need for future electricity will be provided by new and renewable energy (NRE) which is clean and competitive. To support the previous mentioned matter, Indonesia has deeply investigated on nuclear power plants (NPPs) as part of national energy mixed by affording two nuclear power plant (NPP) candidate sites, such as, Ujung Watu Jepara, Central of Java and Bangka island. There are mainly important reasons up to now, why the first NPP has not yet been constructed in the country. This paper suggests new strategies to support the vision of the first NPP operation in Indonesia by 2030. The strategies consider not only the bureaucracy simplification to speed up the inter-ministerial coordination on developing the new government rules, but also the enhancement of public acceptance from the 2016 national survey of 77.58%. For this matter, the coordinating ministry of maritime and investment should lead to monitor all activities related to the previously mentioned vision In addition, the new strategies of NPP promotion to develop and strengthen the political will of Indonesia government for the first NPP operation are also explained. The all new strategies can be achieved from the survey results on the application of nuclear science and technology (NST) from 2010-2016. Finally, a strategy to maximize the local participation in NPP construction more than to 50% can be achieved by providing regular forum group discussions (FGD) among all national stakeholders. A strategy to speed up the licensing process for the first NPP operation can be gained through involving the Indonesia government or state-owned enterprises in designing, construction, commissioning and operation of the first NPP in the country. From the overall comprehensive assessment results, it is believed that Indonesia has the ability to operate the first NPP by 2030. Keywords: Indonesia, operate, first NPP, 2030.
