Nuclear energy in Uruguay : ウィキペディア英語版 | Nuclear energy in Uruguay
The use of nuclear energy in Uruguay is prohibited by law 16.832 of 1997.〔 Despite this, the country has several institutions that regulate its use, such as the Center for Nuclear Research (''Centro de Investigaciones Nucleares'') or the National Regulation Authority on Radiological Protection (''Autoridad Reguladora Nacional en Radioprotección''). Furthermore, for several years Uruguay had in power a small nuclear reactor for research and personnel training. It was brought to the United States in 1964 and began to work in the building of the Center for Nuclear Research in Malvin Norte in 1978.〔 It was turned off because of the detection of corrosion in 1985 and all nuclear fuel was removed. A year later, the Chernobyl and Goiânia nuclear accidents occurred. This influenced public opinion, and in 1988 —during the first presidency of Julio Maria Sanguinetti— a cooperation agreement of nuclear energy between Uruguay and Canada was signed, in which they planned the construction of a nuclear plant in the city of Paso de los Toros.〔 The announcement caused a social unrest and was decided to opened a debate on nuclear energy.〔 As a result, not only did Parliament ratify the agreement, but also they passed the aforementioned law prohibiting nuclear energy in the country.〔 The energy crisis in Uruguay in 2007 led to Uruguay reopening the nuclear debate under the presidency of Tabaré Vázquez, when the Executive Branch established a multiparty committee devoted to the study of the use of nuclear energy to generate electricity and the installation of a nuclear power plant.〔 The Fukushima accident stimulated the discussions of different scopes, especially political and social. In July 2011 the government announced that Uruguay was soon to enter Phase 1 of an evaluation of nuclear energy, providing 10 million Uruguayan pesos from the national budget to hire specialist advisers, consulting the population and reviewing the human resources and technology available. == Institutions ==
