Kenny Dewi Kaniasari, head of Bandung’s Culture and Tourism Agency, said that nuclear energy as an alternative energy source would be an interesting theme for the public. She expressed hope that the experience would be presented in an attractive way to dismiss the notion that nuclear energy was dangerous.

Kenny added that the agency would create special programs for the experience. “We will add several points to the tourism trail, as we have the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) Cultural Heritage and the Bandung Zoo,” she said. (wng)
