About the Agreement Involving Nuclear Energy

On the morning of this Monday (3), the Brazilian state-owned company Eletronuclear and the American Westinghouse signed an agreement to evaluate the lifespan of the power plant known as Angra 1 – The first regarding nuclear energy in our country, in operation since 1971.

Thus, on Sunday (2), Brouillette stated that he hopes this agreement will be one of the first steps toward a partnership concerning the construction of new power plants in the national territory. Brouillette added: “If it is the desire of Brazil, the Bolsonaro administration, and the Bento administration to have new plants, we are ready to help”.

The Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque, said today (3) that the Brazilian nuclear program is a priority for Brazil and that, after “ups and downs”, the country returns to a level “where we can dream of nuclear energy”. Albuquerque emphasized that the forecast is to resume construction of the Angra 3 nuclear power plant in 2020: “We will probably start Angra 3 in 2020 if this partnership with the United States goes well”.

“Similarly, the nuclear program, for Brazil, is a priority. It is part of our energy matrix, and due to the characteristics of our country, we cannot give up this energy source”. He emphasized.

Furthermore, over 60% of the Angra 1 Plant was built at a cost of nearly R$ 10 billion. In summary, an additional R$ 15 billion in investments is needed to complete the project. It is expected that the partnership with the United States may change this.
