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.
