        "summary": "Indonesia's National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) has inaugurated a High Energy Electron Accelerator (AEET) facility at Jakarta's G.A. Siwabessy Science and Technology Park, which uses advanced electron beam technology to sterilize products more efficiently than conventional irradiation methods. The facility can process up to 25 tonnes of products in 1.5 hours, supporting food safety, shelf-life extension, and government export quality initiatives, with BRIN projecting Rp247 billion in revenue within five years through industry collaboration.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia\u2019s National Research and Innovation\nAgency (BRIN) has unveiled a new nuclear-based sterilization facility to\nboost food security and strengthen export competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>The High Energy Electron Accelerator (AEET), located at the G.A.\nSiwabessy Science and Technology Park in Jakarta, uses advanced electron\nbeam (E-Beam) technology to sterilize products more efficiently than\ngamma or X-ray irradiation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe electron beam technology offers several advantages compared to\nother irradiation methods. It is faster, more efficient, and easier to\ncontrol for diverse sterilization needs,\u201d Head of BRIN Arif Satria said\nin a press statement on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>According to Satria, the AEET can sterilize up to 25 tons of products\nin just 1.5 hours, serving industries from food and health to\ncosmetics.<\/p>\n<p>The facility is expected to enhance food safety, extend shelf life,\nand support government programs such as improving export quality and\nensuring nutritious food supplies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProducts that can be processed here include spices, cosmetic raw\nmaterials, health products, and food ingredients such as rice and\nready-to-eat meals, which can have a shelf life of up to hundreds of\ndays,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>BRIN estimates that collaboration with industry could generate Rp247\nbillion (US$14 million) in revenue within five years, part of which will\ncontribute to state income.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis collaboration demonstrates that research and technology can\nwork hand in hand with industry to increase state revenue while\nstrengthening the national innovation ecosystem,\u201d Satria emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>He described the AEET as a milestone in linking research, technology,\nand industry to drive innovation-based economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis facility is a concrete example of synergy between research,\ntechnology, and national industry to generate tangible economic benefits\nfor the nation,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia needs 200 new researchers for nuclear energy\npush: BRIN<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia to tighten exports of coal, palm oil:\nPrabowo<\/p>\n<p>BRIN launches e-beam facility to boost RI\u2019s food security,\nexports<\/p>\n<p>March 15, 2026 13:02 GMT+700<\/p>\n<p>Head of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) Arif\nSatria (center) inspects the High Energy Electron Accelerator (AEET)\nfacility at the G.A.
