The increasing use of nuclear and radioactive materials in Indonesia necessitates the transportation of nuclear and radioactive materials for their distribution to end users. Transporting nuclear and radioactive materials requires stringent security measures to prevent theft and sabotage in order to ensure their safety, among others is the availability of regulations. Regulatory literature in Indonesia and Japan, as well as IAEA NSS No. 9-G (Rev. 1) and IAEA NSS No. 26-G, were reviewed as part of qualitative research. In order to conduct a comparative analysis of the safety system of nuclear material transportation in Indonesia and JAEA, interviews and field observations were conducted. A scale that has been validated by nuclear security experts in Indonesia is utilized for comparative analysis. The results of the analysis indicate that Indonesia's nuclear transportation security management system differs from that of the JAEA in terms of rules and practices, particularly in the areas of regulation for security in nuclear material and radioactive material in transport, training and transportation security awareness, but remains in compliance with IAEA guidelines. This study provides recommendations for enhancing the security system for the transportation of nuclear and radioactive materials in Indonesia in the areas of regulation and training.
