Nucleoeléctrica Receives a Key Component for Atucha II's Dry Spent Fuel Storage Facility

Nucleoeléctrica received a transfer cask, a cylindrical container designed to safely transport and provide shielding for spent fuel elements. This component is part of the dry storage system that the company is developing at the Atucha site.

The ASECG II project includes the construction and commissioning of a facility that will allow spent fuel to be stored in partially buried silos. This infrastructure is essential for spent fuel management and is part of the long-term operational planning for Atucha II Nuclear Power Plant.

The development of this facility requires the integration of specialized components, auxiliary systems, tools and infrastructure works, as well as engineering, installation and testing activities. Its implementation involves coordination among technical teams and suppliers to advance through the different stages of the project.

ASECG II also demonstrates Nucleoeléctrica's capabilities in developing engineering solutions and carrying out technologically complex projects. The experience gained through the operation of Argentina's nuclear power plants and the execution of strategic projects further strengthens the company's technical expertise.

Through these initiatives, Nucleoeléctrica continues to develop capabilities that support the operation of its nuclear power plants and enable the company to bring its experience and expertise to the international nuclear industry.
