Brazilian authorities have renewed the environmental licence for the unfinished Angra-3 nuclear power plant project in Rio de Janeiro state – a prerequisite for the resumption of construction work, owner Eletronuclear said.
The Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama) renewed the licence for six years based on criteria such as noise level control, waste and water disposal, worker safety and the availability of a plant emergency plan.
In February 2022, Brazilian state-run nuclear operator Eletronuclear signed an agreement with a consortium formed by Ferreira Guedes, Matricial and ADtranz for the restart of civil construction works at Angra-3.
