Installation of radiation control equipment has been completed at a nuclear research and technology centre under construction with Russian assistance in Bolivia.
Work resumed at the centre following the landslide election of a new government in October 2020 which saw Luis Arce of the Movement for Socialism (MAS) party elected president in a landslide. Mr Arce is an ally of former president Evo Morales, who was forced into exile in November 2019. Mr Morales had allocated more than $350m for construction of the centre.
