The Angra 3 Nuclear Power Plant, from Eletrobras, still requires investments of around R$ 18.5 billion to be completed by November 2026

As part of Eletrobras’s plan to advance in the main construction line of the thermonuclear plant, the Angra 3 project is expected to receive approximately R$ 2.7 billion in 2021. The plant still requires an investment of approximately R$ 18.5 billion to be completed by November 2026. The forecast is that 1,405 megawatts (MW) of energy will be added to the national electric system.

Conclusion of the Works of the Angra 3 Plant

The former president of the company and current member of the Board of Directors, Wilson Ferreira Júnior, clarified that the work has been halted for many years and that the Angra 3 plant was decided by the company last year, when it defined a value for the critical path to reach 75% of the works. In 2020, Eletrobras spent R$ 1 billion on this project and, by 2021, the goal is to release R$ 2.7 billion.

Wilson also stated that he believes the Angra 3 plant will attract financing composed of internal and external resources. Likewise, the supervisor adds that this work will be done with the collaboration of Brazilian and international companies.

Alternatives from Eletrobras

The National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) is conducting research to present alternatives for Eletrobras and its subsidiaries Eletronuclear and Itaipu. Ferreira Júnior informed that the most obvious action was the spin-off of Eletrobras.

Ferreira Júnior states that “You create a company Eletrobras B and place Eletronuclear and Itaipu under it. The shareholders are the same. It’s as if it were a mirror company, where on one side is the current Eletrobras B and on the other are Eletronuclear and Itaipu. The same shareholders own these two assets, with the participation they have today.”

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

A one-kilometer bridge is almost ready to connect North Korea and Russia, built in about a year after an agreement between Putin and Kim Jong Un. It can handle 300 vehicles per day and cost more than US$ 120 million, according to Russian state media.

After crossing the Americas with a 1986 Kombi, the couple decided to stop traveling and start from scratch on a plot of land in Santa Catarina, opening access, felling eucalyptus trees, and preparing the space to live.

Impacted by the advance of the sea, the city began studies for beach nourishment on the North coast of SC. A similar project is already underway in Itapoá, where Brazil’s largest is taking place, with 70% completion and R$ 333 million invested.

A study by Nature Geoscience already has a date for the end of oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere; the research indicates that the increase in solar luminosity will reduce the CO₂ available for photosynthesis, leading to an abrupt drop in the gas in about 1 billion years.

11,000-year-old indigenous civilization discovered in Canada, with permanent fire pits, stone tools, and bison remains, could change theories about the history of North America.
