Argentina

Argentina is progressing with its RA-10 multipurpose nuclear research reactor project, aiming for commissioning by late 2024 and full operation by 2027. The reactor, designed to produce medical radioisotopes and support scientific research, is currently 96% complete. The project involves private capital for its associated production plant and is expected to generate foreign exchange through exports in a specialized global market.

Argentina’s Nucleoeléctrica says it has signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate globally on engineering, technical assistance and maintenance for Candu-type nuclear power plants, alongside details of life-extension scope work already completed in Argentina and underway in Romania.
