Atucha I is one of three operational nuclear power plants of Argentina. It is located in the town of Lima, Zárate, Buenos Aires, about from Buenos Aires, on the right-hand shore of the Paraná de las Palmas River. The plant is a Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR). It employs a mixture of natural uranium and enriched uranium (0.85% of 235U), and uses heavy water for cooling and neutron moderation. It has a thermal power of 1,179 MWt, and generates 357 MWe of electricity, which is delivered at 220 kilovolts to the Argentine Interconnection System, supplying about 2.5% of the total electricity production (2005). Atucha I was started in 1968 and began operation in 1974; it was the first nuclear power plant in Latin America. In 1973, before its completion, the plant was temporarily captured by guerrillas, who later withdrew.〔(Brittle Power ), p. 144.〕 ==See also== * National Atomic Energy Commission * Atucha II nuclear power plant * Embalse nuclear power plant 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Atucha I Nuclear Power Plant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
