Nuclep, located in Rio de Janeiro, was responsible for the manufacturing of the hull of the nuclear submarine Riachuelo (SBR-S40) of the Brazilian Navy

Currently under review in the Chamber of Deputies is Legislative Decree Project (PDL) 153/2020, authored by Deputy André Figueiredo (PDT-CE), which seeks to suspend Decree 10.322/2020, regarding the inclusion of Nuclep in the National Privatization Program.

For the author, privatizing the company does not reflect good management. Nuclep is responsible for designing and manufacturing equipment for the oil and gas and electric energy sectors, as well as nuclear energy.

“The fundamental importance of Nuclep was emphasized by its role in the Submarine Development Program (Prosub),” said the author, Deputy André Figueiredo (PDT-CE). “Privatizing the company does not reflect good management,” he continued.

The proposal under review in the Chamber of Deputies states that Nuclep, located in Rio de Janeiro, was responsible for the manufacturing of the hull of the nuclear submarine Riachuelo (SBR-S40), the first of four vessels to be built as part of a policy to strengthen the country’s naval sovereignty.

Processing

The project to exclude Nuclep from the government’s privatization agenda will be reviewed by the Committees on Mines and Energy; Development, Industry, Commerce and Services; and Constitution and Justice and Citizenship. It will then proceed to the Plenary for consideration.

The project is called LABGENE (Nuclear Energy Generation Laboratory) and was designed as a prototype, on land and at full scale, of the propulsion systems that will be installed in the submarine.

The reactor is currently in the process of manufacturing, assembly, and supply of the vessel (cylinder) and internal containment structures, as well as the primary shielding tank.
