Nucleoeléctrica Argentina SA (NA-SA) has approved an amendment to its corporate bylaws formally incorporating the provision and commercialisation of nuclear services as a new business unit within the company. This represents a strategic step toward consolidating the company’s presence in the international market and expanding the reach of the capabilities developed by the Argentine nuclear industry over more than seven decades.
The new unit will focus on the export of specialised services, technical assistance, engineering, maintenance, training, and the provision of solutions for NPPs around the world, leveraging NA-SA’s experience operating the Atucha I, Atucha II, and Embalse NPPs – all pressurised heavy water reactors.
In recent years, Nucleoeléctrica’s professionals and technical teams have participated in projects and services provided to nuclear facilities in several countries, including Canada, Brazil, China, South Korea, and Spain. Within this framework, the company also developed and patented technological solutions for Candu-type nuclear power plants, which are currently exported and commercialised in the international nuclear market.
NA-SA President Juan Martín Campos said the measure marks the beginning of a new stage for the company. “For decades, we have developed technological, operational, and human capabilities of excellence. Today, the world is once again looking at nuclear energy as a strategic and sustainable solution, and Nucleoeléctrica is prepared to offer that knowledge and experience globally. This new framework allows us to position NA-SA as an internationally competitive company and transform Argentine talent into a platform for development and value creation.”
He added: “We are facing a new paradigm for the nuclear industry. The growing global demand for energy creates a scenario in which Argentina has much to contribute. Nucleoeléctrica aims to play a leading role in this process, strengthening national development and positioning the country as a provider of highly specialised nuclear services.”
