Operator Eletronuclear and the Brazilian Society of Nuclear Medicine have signed an agreement aimed at producing radioisotopes at Angra nuclear power plant's second unit.

A proposed centre providing training for specialists in physical protection systems for nuclear and radioactive installations and in transport operations has been selected for funding by Brazil's Funding Agency for Studies and Projects.

Eletronuclear's Angra 1 nuclear power unit has been authorised by Brazil's National Nuclear ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Commission to operate to 2044 - extending its life to 60 years.

Holtec International said it repaired 125 damaged used fuel assemblies as part of the successful completion of its recent loading campaign of 480 used nuclear fuel assemblies into 15 HI-STORM FW dry storage casks at Angra unit 2 in Brazil.

The creation of the Nuclear ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Platform is intended to share experience and support the development of nuclear technologies among BRICS+ member countries.

Former President and CEO of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, Rumina Velshi, current strategic advisor to Torys LLP and a lecturer and mentor at ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Nuclear University's Summer Institute, says that learning from people in other countries can accelerate the journey to becoming nuclear leaders.

Eletronuclear says a study by Brazil's National Bank for Economic and Social Development has concluded that the cost of abandoning construction of the part-built Angra 3 nuclear power unit could be about BRL21 billion (USD3.7 billion).

Brazil's Eletronuclear says the first phase of the second campaign to move used fuel from Angra 2 to its on-site used fuel dry storage facility has been successfully completed, with 480 used fuel elements transferred.

Brazil's Eletronuclear has published the responses received from a public consultation on the proposed bidding contract for completing the Angra 3 nuclear power plant.

Brazilian fuel cycle company Indústrias Nucleares do Brasil has announced it is to resume exploration for uranium in the country after a 40-year hiatus.

Brazil's Eletronuclear has extended by 45 days the deadline for publishing responses to the consultation on the proposed bidding contract for completing the works at Angra 3.

International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has highlighted the importance of Brazil for the global nuclear sector. During a trip to the country last week, he signed an agreement formalising the designation of Brazil's Institute for ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß and Nuclear Research as an IAEA Collaborating Centre.
