The secretary stressed that “the development of knowledge of experts in the field, as well as the development of national suppliers, also makes it possible for us to be carrying out one of the few modular nuclear reactors being built in the world, with more than 90% from national suppliers.” “With this, once again, it is demonstrated that the nuclear sector is not only a sector that Argentina led as a reliable supplier to the world, but it is also a sector that industrializes our country,” said the official. The export consisted of U-shaped curved seamless tubes, made of alloy 825, which will be used to manufacture heat exchangers for the moderating system of a Candu reactor, similar to that of the Embalse Nuclear Power Plant. Candu-type reactors make the pressure tubes work under highly demanding conditions throughout their useful life, since inside there are the fuel channels in which the fission process occurs. Thus, for 30 years - useful life of the reactor - they must operate at temperatures between 250 and 300 degrees Celsius, withstand 100 atmospheres of internal pressure and be constantly subjected to the neutron flux resulting from the fission of uranium.
