After Various Uncertainties, The Nuclear Source Offers Good Prospects for Brazil in The Coming Years. Last Wednesday, During The Nuclear Legacy, The President of The Brazilian Association for Nuclear Activity Presented The National Expansion Plan and The National Energy Plan, Which Include New Plants and The Addition of Up to 10 GW to The Brazilian Energy Matrix.

Furthermore, The Topic Discussed at The Event Was The Resumption of The Construction of The Angra 3 Nuclear Power Plant in Rio de Janeiro. Since 2015, The Construction Had Been Halted Due to Lack of Resources from The Federal Government.

Another Point That Brought Good Forecasts Was The Small Modular Reactors or Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), Which Aim to Provide New Horizons for The Brazilian Nuclear Source. At The Event, The President of Abdan Pointed Out The Need for The Santa Quitéria Mine to Come to Life, To Be A New Source of Brazilian Uranium.

The Construction of The Mine Is A Partnership Between The Brazilian Nuclear Industries and Galvani – Fosnor Fertilizantes Fosfatados do Norte-Nordeste S. However, It Is Still in The Licensing Process. In Practice, The Partnership Aims to Explore Uranium and Phosphate, Found in The Itatiaia Deposit in The City of Santa Quitéria.

New Government Should Have Nuclear Energy as An Important Theme

With The New Energy Additions, The Value May Grow to 5% or 8%. For Guimarães, Brazil Will Not Be Like France, Which Has A Significant Part of Its Matrix Composed of Nuclear Energy, Especially Due to A Decision to Ensure Energy Security.

During The Event, The Former President of The Energy Research Company, Maurício Tolmasquim, Stated That The Entry of Private Capital into The Nuclear Sector Will Be A Delicate Topic That The Government Assuming The Country in 2023 Will Address.

For This, One of The Appointees to Work in The Government Transition Team Noted That Nuclear Projects Have Not Yet Been Developed Due to Lack of Investment, Affecting The Planner’s Vision. Thus, He Believes That Good Planning Is Necessary So That The Project Is Not Halted Due to Lack of Funds.

Additionally, He Also Mentioned Some Obstacles That Nuclear Plants Face, Such as Construction Time, Which Is Quite Creative for The Planner; In Addition to The Price of Megawatt/hour, Which Tends to Be Higher Than Other Energy Sources.

Finally, The SMRs Were Remembered by Him As Something That Can Be Discontinued, But Still Requires More Study. Therefore, With This New Technology, Brazil Would Not Start from Scratch, as It Would Utilize The Knowledge Gained from The Angra Nuclear Plant.

New Government Should Have Nuclear Energy as An Important Theme

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

Secret chamber sealed 4,500 years ago found in the Pyramid of Khufu, and Hawass announces its opening to the world in 2026

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

While communities suffer from water scarcity and the advancing desert, women in Morocco use nets high up in the mountains to trap fog droplets, fill reservoirs, and transport drinking water through more than 10 km of piping.

End of separate pressure cooker, air fryer, and electric pot? Ninja Foodi MAX SmartLid combines 15 functions, three cooking modes, and a smart lid to cook, fry, bake, and steam in the same device.

It seems like something out of a movie, but it’s real: how technology uses invisible sound waves to extinguish small fires without water, without chemicals, and without destroying household furniture.

Chinese boats accelerate the collapse of fishing in Senegal, cause an annual loss of US$ 300 million, affect 1.3 million people, and help transform West Africa into the epicenter of 40% of the planet’s illegal trawling.

Super airplane Phantom 3500 advances towards its first flight, promising 60% lower fuel consumption, a windowless cabin, operation above 51,000 feet, technology validated by DARPA, and a billion-dollar order of 300 jets before certification.

With an updated oil-bathed belt, the 2026 Chevrolet Onix and Onix Plus arrive with discounts of up to R$ 23,000, fuel consumption of up to 19.7 km/l, a range of 866 km, a 115 hp turbo engine, and a 5-year warranty.

Russia is sailing all 8 nuclear icebreakers of its fleet simultaneously for the first time in history, as the Arctic freezes two weeks earlier than expected.

With 39 years of halted construction and R$1 billion draining annually without generating a single watt, Angra 3 has become a ticking time bomb for Eletronuclear — while China put 20 new reactors into operation in the same period.

The United States spent US$ 15 billion to excavate 8 km of tunnels inside a mountain in the Nevada desert — the world’s safest nuclear waste repository was ready, but never received a single barrel of waste.

China has just commissioned the world’s first commercial mini-nuclear reactor — it is only 14 meters tall, generates energy for 526,000 homes, and prevents 880,000 tons of CO₂ per year.

South Korea held plasma at 100 million degrees for 102 seconds inside a nuclear fusion reactor — more than double the previous record and the most concrete step taken towards endless clean energy.
