The Brazilian Government Is In Negotiations With The USA, Russia And China To Enable The Production Of Small Nuclear Reactors To Generate Energy In The Country. The Aim, Led By The Minister Of Mines And Energy, Alexandre Silveira, Is To Create A National Policy That Expands The Exploration Of Uranium And Modernizes The Nuclear Sector, In Line With The Energy Transition. The Reporting Is From O Globo.

In The Last Four Months, Technicians From The Ministry Of Mines And Energy (MME) Have Been Studying The Topic Of Nuclear Reactors, And The Launch Of The Policy Is Scheduled For Early 2024. Among The Points Of The Project Are The Modernization Of The Angra 1 Plant, The Completion Of Angra 3, In Addition To Strengthening Uranium Mining. Currently, The Brazil Has The Sixth Largest Uranium Reserve In The World, But Only 30% Of The Territory Has Been Prospected.

Strategic Partnerships With The USA, Russia And China For Nuclear Reactors

To Enable The Implementation Of Small Nuclear Reactors For Energy Generation, The Government Is Seeking Technology Transfer Agreements With Global Powers. Executives From Rosatom, The Russian State Corporation, Have Meetings Scheduled With The MME This Monday. Negotiations Are Also Advancing With The USA And China, Which May Collaborate To Attract Investments And Facilitate The Production Of These Reactors In Brazil.

The International Agenda Also Included Discussions During President Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva’s Visit To Russia, In A Meeting With Vladimir Putin. However, The Trip Was Postponed Due To A Domestic Accident Involving Lula.

Exploration Of Uranium And Nuclear Chain

Santa Quitéria Has One Of The Largest Uranium Reserves In Brazil, With An Estimated Potential To Generate 13% Of The World's Production Of The Resource. — Santa Quitéria Has One Of The Largest Uranium Reserves In Brazil, With An Estimated Potential To Generate 13% Of The World’s Production Of The Resource.

The New Government Policy Aims To Intensify Uranium Exploration In Brazil, A Resource Considered Underutilized. In Santa Quitéria (MG), For Example, The State-Owned Indústrias Nucleares Do Brasil (INB) Awaits Authorization From Ibama To Begin Exploring One Of The Largest Reserves In The Country, With The Capacity To Produce Up To 2 Thousand Tons Annually And Supply The Small Nuclear Reactors.

By Law, The Exploration Of Uranium Is A Monopoly Of The Union, And Advances In Mining Depend On The Expansion Of INB’s Operations. The Resumption Of Mining In December 2020, At The Engenho Mine In Caetité (BA), Already Represented An Important Step For The Brazilian Nuclear Chain.

Clean And Sustainable Energy

The Bet On Nuclear Reactors For Energy Generation Is Aligned With The Energy Transition, As Nuclear Generation Is A Clean Source, With No Emission Of Pollutants. The Government Wants To Structure The Entire Nuclear Chain, From Intensifying Studies On Local Reserves To The Production Of The Small Reactors, Consolidating Brazil As A Global Reference In The Sector.

The Initiative Promises Not Only To Diversify The Energy Matrix But Also To Establish The Country As One Of The Largest Producers Of Uranium In The World, Strengthening The Economy And Opening New Technological Frontiers.

Clean And Sustainable Energy

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.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

A view from space, an image made by NASA shows the impressive Richat Structure, a geological formation located in the Sahara Desert, also known as the “Eye of the Sahara.”

A brand that has been manufacturing motorcycles since 1901 launches its first electric model, and the price shocked the world: $3,000, weighing only 124 kg and accelerating from 0 to 60 km/h in 3.7 seconds…

Giant turbines on the seabed of Scotland have been generating clean energy for nearly a decade without interruption, and now the big promise is that tidal power could solve the biggest problem of solar and wind energy: the unpredictability that no one has been able to overcome until today.

Scientists collected bacteria from the ocean floor and discovered that 80% of them are completely invisible to the human immune system — and this could change cancer treatment.

With 60 tons, a 38.8-meter wingspan, and the capacity to drop 12 tons of water on fires, the world’s largest amphibious aircraft transforms open sea into a runway for rescue, firefighting, and missions in areas where no conventional aircraft can reach.

An expedition discovered an entire ecosystem that shouldn’t exist in Japan’s deepest trenches — with sponges that devour live prey and creatures science has never classified.

Scientists believe they have found a way to travel at the speed of light, but one detail is dampening the enthusiasm: humanity would have to wait 1,000 years to test it.

China has just commissioned the world’s first commercial mini-nuclear reactor — it is only 14 meters tall, generates energy for 526,000 homes, and prevents 880,000 tons of CO₂ per year.

South Korea held plasma at 100 million degrees for 102 seconds inside a nuclear fusion reactor — more than double the previous record and the most concrete step taken towards endless clean energy.

Rolls-Royce surprises the world with a billion-dollar plan that will create 8,000 jobs, ensure energy for over 60 years, and build 470 MW nuclear reactors in Wales to supply 3 million homes in the United Kingdom.
