Angra Plants Gain Dry Storage Unit for Irradiated Fuels (UAS), Approved by Ibama This Week

As Four Foreign Groups Compete for the Completion of the Third Plant, another controversial issue regarding the nuclear plants in Angra made significant progress.
Ibama issued this week the installation license for the Dry Storage Unit for Irradiated Fuels (UAS) of the Angra 1 and 2 nuclear plants.

The unit will be used to temporarily receive the used fuels from both plants until the federal government determines where to store them permanently.
The UAS will require investments of around R$ 246 million, and Ibama conditioned the license approval on the presentation by Eletronuclear of a proposal for a study simulating the maximum thermal influence of UAS operation on the local ecosystem.
As well as the presentation of data on Information Center, Helipad, and the nearest point to BR-101 in relation to the unit.
