Carlos Henrique went to the country accompanied by the Director of INB, Rogério Mendes Carvalho, as well as the host Counselors, the VP of Rosatom for South America, Ruan Nunes, and the Strategic Advisor, Sergei Krivolapov.
The Nuclep team was received by the General Director of Rosatom, Vladimir Petrovich Razin, and was able to discuss with the Russian company the future of the Brazilian nuclear energy market.
With the meeting held in the foreign country, the Brazilian state-owned company hopes that the coming years will be crucial for the growth of the nuclear industry and that Rosatom can be a part of this advancement.
