The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) 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 OLACDE, presented nuclear initiatives, highlighting the launch of the OLACDE 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 OLACDE, 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, OLACDE reaffirms its commitment to expanding international cooperation and exploring sustainable alternatives that will strengthen the future energy landscape of Latin America and the Caribbean.
