"With the development of nuclear energy, Russia has demonstrated its breakthroughs in renewable energy sources worldwide, and this serves as an example for Indonesia to develop similar technologies," Soeparno was quoted as saying on the parliament's website.
Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom has developed small modular reactors that have stood the test of time, the lawmaker added.
Soeparno expressed his hope that Indonesia and Russia would cooperate in the development of nuclear power plants.
