Eletrobras Has Defined That It Will Inject R$ 3.5 Billion in the Resumption of Works at the Nuclear Power Plant

The Angra 3 plant, which has been inactive for 30 years, has a series of pending issues to be resolved, including political ones related to the privatization process of the system. The Federal Court of Accounts is analyzing the plan to resume the project. The decision to continue with the plant is based on the high cost that abandoning it would represent. Eletrobras estimates that abandoning the project would result in a bill of R$ 12 billion in financing already received and contracts with suppliers.

On another note, while not operating, the plant consumes US$ 10 million per year. Over the 36 years it has been inactive, the plant has consumed US$ 360 million. There have been numerous attempts to resume operations, but they have never progressed.

The corporate structure involving Eletrobras’ capitalization is not a concern for the company’s majority shareholder. The only glaring concern is to change the way energy from Angra 3 is contracted, as the current contract provides for the use of standby energy, which alters the character of hydroelectric energy and increases the GSF indicator – Generation Scaling Factor in English, which corresponds to the ratio between the volume of energy generated by the plants and their physical guarantee.

About the Angra 3 Plant

Angra 3 will be the third plant of the Almirante Álvaro Alberto Nuclear Power Plant (CNAAA), located on the beach of Itaorna, in Angra dos Reis (RJ). When it begins commercial operation, the new unit with a capacity of 1,405 megawatts will be capable of generating more than 12 million megawatt-hours per year, enough energy to supply the cities of Brasília and Belo Horizonte during the same period.

With Angra 3, nuclear energy will generate the equivalent of 50% of the consumption of the State of Rio de Janeiro. Angra 3 is a twin sister of Angra 2. Both utilize German Siemens/KWU technology (now Areva ANP).

The construction stages of the Unit include civil works, electromechanical assembly, commissioning of equipment and systems, and operational testing.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state wants to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.

Spain surprises the world by erecting 62 artificial dunes, mixing sand with natural remains of posidonia, and causing the structure to lose only 1.4% of its volume in 1 year.

Researchers at the Toyota Research Institute found that if a human uses robotic arms to flip a pancake 300 times in an afternoon, the robot learns to do it on its own the next morning, and this is currently the most promising method to solve the biggest bottleneck in modern robotics.

Goodbye iron: a common item in households is starting to lose space to technology that smooths clothes in minutes without an ironing board and with less energy consumption.

With 16 Bulava missiles, improvements in acoustic stealth, and a design focused on silent patrols, Russia’s nuclear submarine was born to ensure Moscow’s invisible retaliation and has become one of the pillars of its maritime strength.
