The Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE) participated in the Regional Workshop on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) School of Small Modular Reactors.
During the meeting, Guido Maiulini, Head of Strategic Advisory at OLADE, presented nuclear initiatives, highlighting the launch of the OLADE Nuclear Energy Technical Group, with the participation of member countries and the support of the IAEA.
“Nuclear energy, and particularly Small Modular Reactors, is increasingly recognized as a viable, necessary, and beneficial alternative for the energy transitions of Latin America and the Caribbean. For OLADE, it is essential to promote and participate in this regional dialogue that addresses the expectations, challenges, and opportunities that this technology offers our countries,” stated Maiulini.
With this participation, OLADE reaffirms its commitment to expanding international cooperation and exploring sustainable alternatives that will strengthen the future energy landscape of Latin America and the Caribbean.
