The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) took part in the Regional Workshop on Small Modular Reactors (SMR), organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) School of Small Modular Reactors.
During the event, Guido Maiulini, OLACDE’s Head of Strategic Advisory, presented the organization’s nuclear-related initiatives, highlighting the launch of OLACDE’s Nuclear Energy Technical Group, with the participation of member countries and the support of the IAEA.
“Nuclear energy, and small modular reactors in particular, 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 take part in this regional dialogue, which addresses the expectations, challenges, and opportunities this technology offers our countries,” said Maiulini.
Through this participation, OLACDE reaffirms its commitment to expanding international cooperation and exploring sustainable alternatives that strengthen the energy future of Latin America and the Caribbean.
