The State-Owned Companies Amazul and Nuclep Work Together on the Construction of a Prototype Nuclear Reactor, Which Will Equip a Nuclear Submarine of the Navy’s Prosub Program in Iperó, at the Aramar Experimental Center.

As previously mentioned, Amazul and Nuclep have recently sealed a contract worth over R$50 million for the construction of the nuclear reactor, which aims at the assembly, manufacturing, and supply of the cylinder and internal structures, in the containment where the reactor will be assembled, not to mention in the shielding tank.

According to Amazul, Upcoming Testing Phases Will Be Controlled at Labgene

According to Amazul, the subsequent testing phases of the nuclear reactor, the turbo generators, the electric motor, and related systems will be tested in a controlled manner at Labgene – which is the ground prototype at full scale of the propulsion systems that will be installed in the future on the Brazilian nuclear submarine, expected to be completed by mid-2034.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

New Honda HooRide 125 scooter debuts in China with ADV styling, 17-inch wheels, TFT panel, Smart Key, and fuel consumption of up to 47.17 km/l, aiming to resemble an urban X-ADV with a 125 engine, CVT transmission, and an economical proposal for cities.

An entire sea disappeared from the map: the Aral Sea, formerly the fourth largest lake on the planet, lost more than 90% of its area in a few decades and left behind a toxic desert where fishing boats rust over 100 km from the water that once supported entire cities.

13-year-old Indian girl impresses the world by leading the planting of 200,000 trees in over 120 locations and gaining international recognition while still in childhood.

Coral reefs gain new hope after scientists identify 165,000 km² with potential to resist heat in 71 countries, serve as living recovery banks, and protect food, jobs, and coastlines of nearly 1 billion people under climate threat.
