Indonesia’s Deputy Minister of Environment has confirmed that three industrial facilities located in close proximity to PT BMS were shut down before the detection of cesium-137 in locally harvested shrimp became public. The closures were part of broader environmental oversight measures, though officials have not yet confirmed whether these factories were directly linked to the radioactive contamination. The discovery of Cs-137, a radioactive isotope typically associated with nuclear fission processes, in shrimp samples has prompted increased scrutiny of industrial discharges in the area. Environmental agencies are currently conducting further tests to trace the source of the contamination and assess potential risks to marine ecosystems and public health. Investigations remain ongoing, with authorities emphasizing the importance of industrial compliance with environmental safety standards.
