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.

About the Angra 3 Plant

Mayor orders wireless network turned off in municipal schools due to fear of electromagnetic radiation in children, replaces connection with Ethernet cables, and transforms small Italian city into a symbol of technological panic.

Goodbye traditional washing machine: Xiaomi surprises and launches an ultra-slim version with 27 programs, 3D water flow, steam sterilization, app control, enlarged drum, and a silent system with double suspension

An entire country within the mountains is selling water to Africa’s largest economy: Lesotho builds dams, tunnels, and bridges at an altitude of 2,000 meters to send more than 1.27 billion m³ per year to Johannesburg

Toyota ends the Diesel era: new Hilux with up to 380 km of urban range brings 196 hp, 59.2 kWh battery, 4×4 traction and 715 kg of load capacity

An unmanned Russian ship has been drifting in the Mediterranean for 57 days with 60,000 tons of gas — the second towing attempt has just failed.

With an 88-meter wingspan, a capacity of 250 tons, six engines, and 32 wheels, the Ukrainian giant became the greatest symbol of extreme air transport and one of the most impressive machines in aviation history.

The most expensive stadium on the planet cost R$ 30 billion to be built in Los Angeles and will host eight games of the 2026 World Cup. The 110-meter screen is larger than the playing field itself, and the roof projects videos that airplane passengers see during landing at the airport.

The vertical neighborhood with 656 apartments starting from R$ 234,000, which is being built in Blumenau, is expected to be ready in three years. MRV’s mega-condominium occupies a 70,000-square-meter plot in Velha Grande and qualifies for band 2 of Minha Casa Minha Vida.

Adventurers descend to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea and find 1,400 giant circles drawn meticulously in the sand at 120 meters — and science still has no definitive answer.
