During the Nuclear Legacy 2025 Event, in Brasília, EPE Presented Strategic Guidelines for the Sustainable Use of Nuclear Energy and New International Partnerships in the Brazilian Energy Sector
The Energy Research Company (EPE) was present at Nuclear Legacy 2025, held in Brasília on October 20 and 21, reinforcing Brazil’s commitment to the technological and sustainable advancement of the nuclear sector, according to a report published.
Representing the institution, Thiago Ivanoski, Director of Economic-Energy and Environmental Studies (DEA), presented the panel “Nuclear Energy and Brazilian Energy Planning,” highlighting how the strategic use of this clean source can contribute to the country’s energy future.
The event, promoted by the Brazilian Association for the Development of Nuclear Activities (ABDAN), brought together government representatives, experts, and international organizations to discuss the role of nuclear energy in the global energy transition.

During his participation, Ivanoski detailed the plans that guide the development of the national energy sector, focusing on safety, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.
Nuclear Legacy 2025: Brazilian Energy Planning and Sustainable Nuclear Innovation
At Nuclear Legacy 2025, EPE presented two essential instruments for national energy planning: the Ten-Year Energy Plan (PDE) and the National Energy Plan (PNE).
The former establishes the expansion targets for energy supply and infrastructure until 2034, based on current policies, technical feasibility, and market conditions.
The PNE outlines long-term guidelines until 2055, emphasizing the importance of sustainability and energy security for the country’s economic development.
According to Ivanoski, these plans function as “compasses” to guide public policies and strategic investments.
He stressed that nuclear energy is fully aligned with decarbonization targets and reliability of the electrical system, playing a fundamental role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and diversifying the Brazilian energy matrix.
Small Modular Reactors and the Future of the Energy Transition
One of the most discussed topics during Nuclear Legacy 2025 was the use of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), which represent an innovation capable of transforming the way Brazil generates and distributes energy.
Ivanoski explained that these modular reactors offer operational flexibility and energy independence for isolated systems, allowing efficient and safe supply to remote areas.
In partnership with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the U.S. Department of Energy, and the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), EPE developed studies on the challenges and opportunities of using SMRs.
These studies highlight that small reactors can reduce costs, accelerate decarbonization, and promote technological overflow, strengthening Brazil’s role as a reference in sustainable nuclear innovation.
Strategic Partnerships and Strengthening the Brazilian Nuclear Industry
During Nuclear Legacy 2025, EPE also reinforced its partnership with ABDAN at the SMR Forum, which brings together national and international institutions to discuss the practical application of modular reactors in Brazil.
The forum organizes plenary and technical meetings, focusing on technological development, safety, and regulation.
Thiago Ivanoski emphasized that the energy transition is not an instantaneous process, but a collaborative journey that requires engagement from all sectors.
He highlighted that nuclear energy plays an essential role in this transition, ensuring energy security, reducing emissions, and promoting new industrial opportunities.
EPE’s participation in the event reaffirms Brazil’s commitment to innovation, the responsible use of resources, and the integration of sustainable technologies.
The institution’s presence at Nuclear Legacy 2025 reinforces the importance of communication and cooperation among governments, companies, and international entities for the advancement of the nuclear sector and for building a safe and sustainable energy future.
