  Argentina launches Atucha II Nuclear Reactor

  On September 28, Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner inaugurated the Atucha II nuclear reactor, the country's third.

  88% of the plant, she said, was "made in Argentina" - our money, our workers, our technicians (some of whom returned from abroad).

  And she also outlined the next nuclear goals: to complete extending the useful life of the existing Embalse plant for another 25 years; build

  Atucha III; and also build the small CAREM reactor, of 25 MW, that can be used in locales of the interior to generate electricity.
