RUSSIAN NUCLEAR FOR BRAZIL ANEW
RPA - May 27, 2025 - Russia’s Rosatom state nuclear power corporation has proposed projects to Brazil involving both small nuclear power plants (SNPP) and high-capacity power units, according to Rosatom Latin America Director Ivan Dybov. He commented at the Nuclear Trade & Technology Exchange conference in Brazil.
Dybov said that “Emphasizing the importance of nuclear projects for addressing climate challenges and regional development, we are ready to expand cooperation and offer Brazil both small nuclear power plants and high-capacity power units to strengthen the country’s energy system.”
Rosatom currently supplies 100% of enriched uranium for the Angra NPP and provides the Brazilian market with medical isotopes for cancer diagnosis and treatment, he said.
Rosatom CEO Alexei Likhachev also stated that Brazil had “confirmed productive cooperation in uranium supplies” from Russia, while also having plans to build new high-capacity power units. “Accordingly, negotiations have begun in this area. The country is also interested in small reactors, both land-based and floating ones. Brazilian enterprises could potentially manufacture reactor vessels for these units.”
Although most of Brazil’s energy is generated by hydroelectric power plants and the country is not dependent on nuclear power, it has two operating nuclear reactors (Angra 1 and Angra 2) that generate about 3% of the country’s electricity.The country is also working on completing its third reactor, Angra 3.

BRAZIL NEED URANIUM
According to World Nuclear Association, exploration in the 1970s and 1980s showed that Brazil has reasonably assured resources of 210,000 tonnes of uranium. However, there has been little investment in exploration since the mid-1980s.
