The president of the CNV, Sebastian Negro, visited together with the directors Matias Isasa and Monica Erpenthe Atucha nuclear complex, after the approval of the issuance of the solidarity financial and public infrastructure trust NASA IV.
“We are facing a great infrastructure work such as the extension of the useful life of the first nuclear power plant in Latin America, put into operation in 1974, mostly based on local technology,” said Negri.
And he added that “The project will generate 2000 jobs, at the request of a State policy that places Argentina among the few countries in the world with this clean technology and suitable human resources to operate it.”
“The work is strategic because energy and its self-sufficiency are synonymous with sovereignty. In addition, nuclear energy is today one of the best options because it is absolutely clean and contributes to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere”, said the president of Nucleoeléctrica Argentina, José Luis Antúnez.
The director of the state company, Alejandro Estévez, stressed that the expansion of a nuclear power plant “preserves the professional staff of 600 people and demands qualified national suppliers for the construction and manufacture of its components.”
In addition, they reported that in 2024 the first useful life cycle of Atucha I will end, which will make it necessary to implement certain improvements and replacements to guarantee the safe operation of the plant for another 20 years.
