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.

Even with Ibama’s approval, the UAS will still depend on another license, issued by the CNEN (National Commission of Nuclear Energy), for the construction and operation authorization of the unit.
The unit is located outside the plants’ areas, and the forecast for receiving the first used fuels from Angra 1 and 2 is set for 2021.

Currently, there are 222 fuel elements from Angra 1 and 288 from Angra 2 to be removed from the plants, stored in pools located in the nuclear facilities.

In a recent visit to China by the Minister of Mines and Energy Bento Albuquerque, the Chinese reaffirmed their interest not only in Angra 3 but also in other plants that should be constructed by 2050.
Currently, Brazil has two operational plants (Angra 1 and 2), which represent 1.1% of the country’s energy generation.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

Two African countries will inaugurate in 4 days an 825-meter bridge suspended 90 meters high over a reservoir — it is the largest of three bridges of a megaproject that will supply millions of people.

A company that drilled for oil has drilled 4.8 kilometers of rock in Utah and found a never-ending heat of 290 degrees — now it is building the world’s first next-generation commercial geothermal power plant, with 100 MW connected to the grid in June 2026.

Brazil spent R$ 1.9 billion on a giant bridge to Paraguay, and it is already finished, but no one can use it properly because the access points are not ready, and traffic remains blocked months later.

The reactors of the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford produce 600 megawatts and could power an entire city.

As if a faucet had been opened in the ocean, warm water begins to reach Antarctica, breaks through the natural protection of the ice shelves, and intrigues scientists about the upcoming impacts on the global climate.

Brazil enters the era of engineered wood buildings alongside Canada, Sweden, Austria, and Norway, betting on a technology that promises faster construction, fewer emissions, and fire resistance that challenges concrete and steel.

War in Iran causes China to sell solar panels like never before, pushing 68 gigawatts to the world in just one month, while Middle Eastern oil becomes a global headache for suppliers desperate for alternatives.

Climate records from trees, corals, sediments, and caves show that the current warming is the only one in the last 2,000 years to affect the entire planet at the same time and advance faster than any natural change ever recorded, something that did not occur even during the Medieval Warm Period.

The planet registered 420 water conflicts in 2024, the highest number ever documented, and the dispute over rivers like the Nile, Colorado, Tigris, Euphrates, Indus, and Mekong exposes a race for dams that downstream countries already see as a threat of hydrological war.
