This study delves into the imperative and repercussions associated with the establishment of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in Bangka Belitung, addressing both the prevalent energy crisis and the economic reliance on the tin sector. The research methodology encompasses an analysis of geological data, energy availability, and environmental impact assessments. Findings reveal that Bangka Belitung confronts an energy crisis due to the instability of the energy supply and the limited nature of available resources, coupled with a lack of technological and energy infrastructure for downstream processes in the tin sector. The proposition of an NPP emerges as a viable remedy to alleviate the ongoing energy crisis and catalyzes ushering in a new era of industrial development post-tin. Anticipated outcomes of NPP implementation include the provision of energy stability, stimulation of downstream activities within the tin sector, and the delivery of environmentally sustainable electricity. In conclusion, this research underscores the urgency of initiating an NPP as a strategic move toward attaining both economic and energy sustainability in Bangka Belitung, concurrently propelling transformative industrial shifts post-tin. © 2025 American Institute of Physics Inc..
