Eletronuclear Received Approval for Credit of Over 700 Million Reais to Resume Construction of the Angra 3 Nuclear Plant.

Eletronuclear claims that by 2021 it aims to have something tangible to show the public regarding the progress of the Angra 3 nuclear plant. Eletrobras is also part of the efforts to resume the construction of the nuclear plant.

According to the government, the amount of credit released for Eletrobras refers to the fact that the state-owned company incurred significant debts when it decided to take over the Angra 3 plant; thus, the loan will serve not only to settle these debts but also to resolve fiscal issues with Ibama, which recently halted the start of construction of the nuclear plant until the fine is paid.

With the decision resting with Eletrobras, the expectation is that the construction of the Angra 3 Nuclear Plant will commence by October next year (2021).

Angra 3 Nuclear Plant

Angra 3 will be the third plant of the Almirante Álvaro Alberto Nuclear Center (CNAAA), located at Itaorna Beach, in Angra dos Reis (RJ). When it enters commercial operation, the new unit with a capacity of 1,405 megawatts will be able to generate over 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 account for 50% of the consumption in the State of Rio de Janeiro.

Angra 3 is a twin sister of Angra 2. Both feature German technology from Siemens/KWU (now Areva ANP). The construction stages of the Unit include civil works, electromechanical assembly, commissioning of equipment and systems, and operational testing.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Project created by a UFS student defeats European competitors in an engineering award held in Paris and highlights the advancement of Brazilian science with an innovative solution, developed in a public academic environment and recognized by international experts in the technological field.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

How much does it cost to make a radier? A shallow foundation can speed up the construction and reduce stages, but poorly compacted soil, excess load, and design errors can turn the concrete slab into cracks, structural settlements, and much higher expenses later on.

Goodbye steel rebar? Scientists create 3D-printed plastic reinforcement that “bites” into concrete, prevents corrosion, and could change beams, slabs, and bridges in civil construction.

End of heavy manual drilling: three robots take over more than 9,000 holes in the Engelberg tunnel in Germany, working at a height of 7.5 meters and increasing precision in construction carried out with traffic in operation.
