INB noted that the price of uranium has more than tripled in recent years "bringing an avenue of opportunities for growth in the sector in the form of exporting concentrated uranium and also with the possibility of offering nuclear fuel to the international market adding value to the local production chain" The company added: "According to a study conducted 40 years ago Brazil had the eighth largest reserve in the world considering that the second largest reserve is in Kazakhstan which is the same size as the state of Rio de Janeiro it is possible that the country could eventually take second place." exploration in the 1970s and 1980s showed that Brazil has reasonably assured resources of 210,000 tonnes of uranium there has been little investment in exploration since the mid-1980s The country's three main deposits are: Pocos de Caldas in Minas Gerais state where a uranium mine closed in 1997; Lagoa Real or Caetité in Bahia state which has been operating since 1999; and Itataia where the production of uranium as a co-product with phosphate is planned Uranium has been mined in Brazil since 1982 but the only operating mine is INB's Lagoa Real/Caetité mine The mine has known resources of 10,000 tU at 0.3%U INB commenced developing the adjacent Engenho mine in January 2017 Production was initially planned from October 2017 the country's energy minister reported that investment in INB would allow it to produce 150 tU annually from Caetité The Santa Quitéria Consortium - a partnership between INB and privately owned fertiliser producer Galvani - expects to produce 2,300 tons of uranium concentrate annually from the Itataia deposit after conversion and most enrichment abroad The country's uranium requirements are currently about 339 tU per year INB signed a contract with Russia's Rosatom for the supply of 330 tU in the form of natural UF6 for the Angra nuclear power plant from 2023 to 2027 three contracts were signed with Westinghouse to cover the supply of advanced fuel assemblies for Angra 1 reloads O endereço abaixo não existe na globo.com the government of Brazil's northeast state of Ceará and the Santa Quitéria Consortium signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the construction of a uranium and phosphate extraction plant in Itataia The consortium is a partnership between fuel cycle company Indústrias Nucleares do Brasil (INB) and fertiliser producer Galvani The acceptance of the EIA/RIMA of the project by IBAMA - a federal agency under the Ministry of Environment - was welcomed by INB It said: "This is an important step in the licensing process as it checks whether the content of the document complies with the Terms of Reference stipulated by the agency and will be submitted to technical analysis." there will be a period of 60 days for a public hearing to be held at which time aspects of the project will be clarified and suggestions questions and criticisms from society will be collected These hearings are expected to be held in May INB said the distribution of digital copies of the EIA and printed copies of the RIMA began this week to bodies and institutions determined by IBAMA including the municipalities of Santa Quitéria and Itatira the Government of the State of Ceará and the Secretary of the Environment of Ceará a team with representatives from INB and Galvani is in Ceará to make institutional visits "The environmental licensing process is in three stages," noted INB chemical engineer Alessandra Barreto we are in the process of obtaining the preliminary license it's time for the installation license followed by the operating license These licenses have to be in step with the nuclear licensing as this is an enterprise in which we are going to produce uranium concentrate." The Itataia deposit is the largest discovered uranium reserve in Brazil An estimated 142,200 tonnes of uranium is inter-mixed with phosphates The deposit has exploitable reserves of 79.5 million tonnes of ore equating to about 8.9 million tonnes of P2O5 and 79.3 thousand tonnes of U3O8 The Santa Quitéria Consortium - formed in June 2008 - will initially invest USD400-450 million in the Itataia facility the operation of which is expected to begin in 2023 The project is expected to generate up to 2500 jobs The life of the deposit is estimated at 30 years The facility is planned to produce 2300 tonnes of uranium concentrate per year as a by-product of 240,000 tonnes of P2O5 The phosphates extracted would be used by Galvani for the manufacture of fertilisers and animal feed while INB will use the uranium by-product for the production of uranium concentrate for nuclear fuel a ceremony was held to mark the launch of Brazil's National Fertiliser Plan 2022-2050 the plan includes measures for the next 28 years focused on reducing the current dependence of Brazilian rural producers on imported fertilisers and increasing national production will contribute in this regard by producing the equivalent of 25% of the demand for phosphate fertilisers in the country's north and northeast regions If you would like to learn more about the IAEA’s work sign up for our weekly updates containing our most important news Proceedings Series - International Atomic Energy Agency Download PDF (1.79 MB) Supplementary files PDF 51.14 MB Uranium Raw Material for the Nuclear Fuel Cycle: Innovation for Sustaining Future Resources and Production (URAM-2023) Proceedings Series - International Atomic Energy Agency Download to:EndNote BibTeX*use BibTeX for Zotero The URAM-2023 Proceedings cover a range of relevant topics in the uranium production cycle from uranium exploration and decommissioning and remediation of uranium production cycle facilities This publication provides a summary of the symposium including: the opening addresses;

Brazil has a small nuclear power programme Two pressurised water reactors - Angra 1 and 2 - supply about 3% of the country's electricity National planners are preparing to complete a third unit at Angra and are analysing the possibilities for several more at other sites A small uranium enrichment facility also operates at Resende As of this Wednesday, two Havana stores belonging to the retail commercial network in convertible pesos (CUC) are already giving their change exclusively in Cuban pesos (CUP) as part of the experiment announced last Monday by the Central Bank of Cuba (BCC) In the press release issued then The experiment began in the Almendares and 5ta y 42 commercial centers both in Havana’s Playa municipality and belonging to the Panamericana chain of stores the experiment is part of “the monetary organization measures that are being implemented in the country” and depending on their results “their progressive extension to other stores in Havana and the rest of the provinces will be assessed.” Vice President of Economy and Finance of the Cimex State Corporation Leticia Morales told the newspaper Granma that “work has been carried out together with the Permanent Commission for Implementation and Development in the necessary modifications to implement the measure She said that there has been joint coordination with the different entities involved in this experiment and that “there is no difficulty and there are the necessary funds for the startup this initial stage in two stores “will make it possible to check everything that has been designed especially the programming of the automated systems the cash registers and the operational flow of the establishments Morales said that in the case of the Cimex chain there is already a list of units that will be incorporated into this experiment; of them “the largest,” as well as the largest shopping center in each of the provincial capitals and on the Isla de la Juventud “is to complete this initial program in the first quarter of 2020 because these units are where most of the customers purchase and where there are more offers of products and services especially of the economic line” and added that “it could later be gradually extended to other units.” The vice president of Cimex clarified that these stores will maintain operations in both currencies (CUC and CUP) because it will be given exclusively in CUP,” she explained Morales affirmed that the population’s opinions about the experiment “are favorable” and they agree that “with the measure the currency unification is close the currency that will remain is the CUP.” The convertible peso (CUC) is one of the two currencies in circulation on the island Officially it is equivalent to the dollar―although this currency is subject to a tax on the island―and its official exchange rate is 25 CUP in the case of its purchase from and 24 in the case of its sale to the government which began on the island in the wake of the severe economic crisis of the 1990s and the decriminalization of the dollar has become a sword of Damocles for the afflicted Cuban economy Since 2014 –date in which it was allowed to pay in CUP in the stores selling in CUC– the authorities announced the start of the efforts for the eradication of that duality which has not yet been implemented amidst the tensions the country has been experiencing several economists have warned of signs that runification could be close which is now joined by the announced experiment Rumors are also circulating about a possible government measure in this direction in early 2020 Previously, the ban on importing CUC had been announced since November 16―the export had already been banned since 2012― which also meant the elimination of the use of this currency inside the airports (at the border) In addition, the announcement occurs in the context of the new economic measures taken by the island’s government which are recovering the use of the USD and other international currencies―through debit cards associated with bank accounts―for the purchase and import of certain products in Cuba after which the value of the CUC has been devalued against the dollar despite the fact that the official exchange rate has remained unchanged The conversation here is moderated according to OnCuba News discussion guidelines.

let us please address it as a health issue!” said the incoming Vice President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle of Manila has earlier offered to broker talks on the government’s controversial drive against narcotics trade amid the recent killing of Delos Santos is because of one institution that wrongly believes it has the best solution against the menace “All Filipinos agree that the menace of illegal drugs is real and destructive the death of Delos Santos should be treated by the government as a “wake-up” call against its “cruel and simplistic solution” of “exterminating” drug suspects illegal drugs will continue to flood the country “if there is no systematic effort” to trace the source friends and supporters attended the funeral of Delos Santos who was shot dead after allegedly engaging cops in an anti-drug operation in Caloocan on August 16 showed cops supposedly dragging the victim before he was found dead The prelate said the Church and the government can work together for the healing of addicts through community-based rehabilitation programs Let us rid ourselves of anything that diminishes our humanity,” he added Delos Santos was buried at the La Loma Cemetery after a funeral procession that took more than five hours The prelate also assured the Delos Santos’ parents that their son’s life has not been wasted even if it was cut short by “senseless violence and cruelty” “It is not wasted because it has served as a thorn that has pricked the consciences of our people and has awakened them from moral slumber,” he said The page you are looking for might have been removed
