National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN)
BATAN exported a small amount of molybdenum-99 fission material (Mo99) to Malaysia, the Philippines and Bangladesh (with a total value of Rp 50 billion ($5.5 million) in 2011. Due to a drop in world radioisotope production and increased demand from China and Japan, BATAN will invest Rp 100 billion ($11.1 million) to increase its production capacity to 900 Ci per week (from its present 40 Ci). Full capacity could be realized in 2013, but large-scale exports are possible by late 2012.

“It is possible that the telephone has been responsible for more business inefficiency than any other agency except laudanum.... In the old days when you wanted to get in touch with a man you wrote a note, sprinkled it with sand, and gave it to a man on horseback. It probably was delivered within half an hour, depending on how big a lunch the horse had had. But in these busy days of rush-rush-rush, it is sometimes a week before you can catch your man on the telephone.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
