It’s Not Every Day That We Receive News That A Nuclear-Powered Submarine Has Been Created, Is It? The First Of Its Kind Built By ICN And NUCLEP Was Named In Honor Of The Vice Admiral Of The Brazilian Navy

The first nuclear-powered submarine built by ICN and NUCLEP was named “Álvaro Alberto,” in honor of the vice admiral of the Brazilian Navy and Brazilian scientist – Álvaro Alberto da Mota e Silva. The ceremony took place at the Nuclear Generation Laboratory (Labgene), where the prototype is being constructed.

The Beginning Of The Creation Of The Nuclear Submarine By ICN And NUCLEP

The start of the reactor assembly will correspond to the so-called “keel laying,” a naval tradition that represents the beginning of a ship’s construction.

In the upcoming stages of the program, the reactor, the turbo generators, the electric motor, and other systems similar to those of a nuclear-powered submarine will be tested in a controlled manner at Labgene, with the main objective of safely validating the operation of the reactor and the various electromechanical systems integrated with it, before its installation on board the submarine. All these procedures are carried out by ICN.

With French technology, the most modern in this market, 100 meters in length and a displacement of 6,000 tons, the SN-BR will be Brazil’s first nuclear-powered submarine, as well as the first to be built in the Southern Hemisphere by ICN – Itaguaí Naval Constructions.

Brazil is one of the few countries in the world that has a project for the construction of a nuclear submarine aimed exclusively at hunting other submarines, which will not carry ballistic missiles.

The project is part of the Brazilian Navy’s Submarine Development Program (PROSUB) and will be entirely Brazilian, elevating Brazil to the select group of countries that build this type of military vessel, which currently includes only 6 countries: France, United States, Russia, China, India, and England.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Brazil participates with its own satellite in a BRICS space network that has already mapped millions of square kilometers, and now the bloc wants to go further with new missions, radar for the Amazon, and even flights to the Moon.

A survey shows that Samsung phones cost up to 36% less in Paraguay than in Brazil, but before crossing the border, you need to add the cost of travel, accommodation, IOF, and store fees that can eat up all the savings that seemed guaranteed.
