Eletronuclear Is Responsible for Works at Angra 3 Nuclear Power Plant, MPF Requests Payment of R$30 Million and Requires IBAMA Not to Issue New Licenses for Project Progress

The MPF (Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office) wants the construction of the Angra 3 nuclear power plant to remain halted until Eletronuclear pays the environmental compensation agreed upon with IBAMA (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources).

Angra 3 Nuclear Power Plant May Have Bidding Annulled by MPF

When requesting authorization to build the power plant, Eletronuclear assumed a series of commitments such as actions directed at the local population and an investment of R$50 million in sanitation for Angra dos Reis and Paraty.

If the conditions are not met, the construction license may be annulled and the operating permit will not be issued.

The MPF prosecutors also demanded that any and all eventual renewals involving the Angra 3 nuclear power plant be suspended in case of non-payment. The main objective of the MPF prosecutors is to prevent Eletronuclear from carrying out any activity involving the Angra 3 power plant.

Finally, the MPF also wishes for the company responsible for the Angra 3 nuclear power plant to present to IBAMA an updated sustainable plan and pay a fine of R$30 million. In a statement, Eletronuclear explained that it has not yet been officially notified of the action and therefore cannot comment at this time.

Angra 3 will be the third plant of the Almirante Álvaro Alberto Nuclear Power Center (CNAAA), located at Itaorna beach in Angra dos Reis (RJ). When it begins 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 of the State of Rio de Janeiro.
