Argentina will export nuclear reactors for US $ 3,000 million annually

The Argentina Central project Modular Elements (Carem) is a prototype developed by the National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA), located within the SMR (Small Modern Reactor) called and represents "an enormous potential for Argentina, as there is a world market of billions of dollars "available resources to acquire this type of nuclear technology, the official said. 

" the Carem has many years of work in the CNEA but-- for us - is a priority , "said Telam Gadano and justified this decision by stating that the project "can generate a market with high technological added value for our country."  

the secretary praised the ability and knowledge of researchers from the body, and boasted of "spectacular human resources we have, with the qualification needed to develop the Argentine nuclear system. " 

CAREM project aimed, from the outset, to develop and produce nuclear power plants, especially, are those located in the segment of power reactors medium and low power. 

such reactors has a projection for the electricity supply in remote areas of large urban centers or manufacturing poles with high energy consumption, while also offering other benefits such as desalination or supply of steam for various industrial uses. 

"A reactor low power , 120 MW of capacity, serves to countries with smaller networks , "said Gadano.  

" We can market a module of four reactors, ie 480 MW, which is much more friendly and serves perfectly to feed that are not integrated as networks the if the island, some countries in Latin America and Asia , "said Assistant secretary of Nuclear Energy. 

Gadano referred to the " full support of the national government in research, development and technological advances "and argued that" the best test support is in the budget allocated to the area by 2017, exceeding $ 7,600 million, which represents "twice as manyresources compared to the previous year." 

"a CNEA, for different projects, the budget was increased by 43 % in nominal terms "plotted undersecretary, which" is given a real and concrete response "to the criticism from some sectors of the opposition posed that the administration of President Mauricio Macri propose reducing resources for scientific research. 

" the Carem reactor is important, but not to put little signs on the (Highway) Pan American to say '100% orgullosos' but to return to Argentina society the enormous effort being made with state resources , "said Gadano, while who emphasized that since the CNEA "we do not build huge projects so that after the treasury have to put silver for many years." 

after participating in the International General Conference of Atomic Energy, held in Vienna, Gadano said that next year we will create a public "dynamic, small and efficient to work on the basic engineering of the project and, at the same time, you can sell the final product" in the world market and allow create "real resources" to the country 's commercial enterprise. 
"Let's need a financial partner for that company, with international financial back , "he said. 

" it's a process that takes years and we will be able to market this project in 2022 , "the official said, but showed his enthusiasm by pointing out that" we to be one of the first countries in the world - along with South Korea, the United States, Russia and China that can offer low power reactors. " 

in that sense, Gadano not minimize competition with these foreign powers but put the shaft that " it is a market of tens of billions of dollars, and it is possible and easy to capture 20%" of global demand for the reactors. 

the official referred to other projects that are developing within the CNEA and especially pointed to called RA10, a research reactor multipurpose oriented production of radioisotopes for the diagnosis of disease. 

"we signed the contract and next year we will invest $ 1,682 million to integration between civil works and the first assemblies , " said Gadano and he anticipated that "multipurpose reactor most modern in the world" will be built. 

Finally confirmed that Argentina -through Invap- "will sell you a multipurpose reactor Brazil in u $ s 35 million , " operation that will represent "the first sale of technology "that the country will conduct our neighbors and partners in the region.
