Brazil Outlines Post-Fukushima Actions

WNN reports Brazil’s only operating nuclear power plant will be evaluated for safety in response to the Fukushima accident.

The market news is quoted as saying:

The state company owns and operates two pressurized water reactors at Angra, while a third reactor is under construction there and due to enter commercial operation in 2016. A working group it set up in response to the 11 March earthquake and tsunami that hit the Japanese nuclear power plant has now delivered its first report, and a budget of BRL300 million ($187 million) has been allocated to a five-year plan of improvements to nuclear safety and security for this sole nuclear power site.
