Cooperation with Germany
The South American state entered into cooperation with Germany in the 1970s in order to become a world power with the help of an ambitious nuclear program. After the US company Westinghouse delivered the turnkey Angra-1 reactor, Brazil wanted to buy eight nuclear power plants and nuclear facilities for a complete fuel cycle, including a reprocessing plant, in Germany. The German Kraftwerk Union began building the Angra-2 reactor. Due to technical and financial problems, however, the nuclear program was scaled back in the 1980s and initially limited to the two reactors.
The Angra-1 and -2 reactors were commissioned in 1982 and 2000, respectively. In July 2007, then President Lula announced that he would complete a third reactor in Angra, which began in 1975 and was abandoned in 1991, and also wanted to build further nuclear power plants. However, Angra-3 has not been completed to date ...

Angra (Brazil)
Angra-1 and -2 risk reactors
In Itaoma near Angro dos Reis, two pressurized water reactors with 640 and 1.350 MW (Angra-1 and 2) are currently generating electricity, which went into operation in 1982 and 2000. Angra-2 only went online in 2000 because construction work was suspended between 1986 and 1996. It is now the most powerful reactor in the southern hemisphere. A third reactor with 1.405 MW has been under construction since 2010. The plant is owned and operated by the Brazilian company Eletrobras Electronuclear SA. The manufacturer of Angra-1 was Westinghouse, and Angra-2 was KWU.
The location of the nuclear power plant is considered to be geologically endangered due to kilometers wide and deep faults and is also highly risky, since mud masses are often detached from the hills, making the roads impassable. When construction began on Angra-2, the subsoil had already sagged. The spent fuel rods were only 100 meters from the beach. On May 28, 2001, 22.000 liters of radioactive water ran into the Atlantic due to an accident during the interim storage, which was kept secret for months ...

Angra nuclear power plant
The construction of the atomic plant goes back to an agreement between the German federal government and the Brazilian military regime in 1975. The nuclear power plant consists of two pressurized water reactors: Angra I with an installed electrical output of 626 MW (first network synchronization in 1982) and Angra II with an installed electrical one Output of 1.350 MW (first network synchronization in 2000). A third reactor, Angra III with a gross electrical output of 1.405 MW, has been planned since 1975. Work on this third block began in 1984 and was canceled two years later due to environmental concerns and financial problems. On June 1, 2010, construction work for Angra III officially resumed. The federal government approved a Hermes guarantee for 1,5 billion euros for the expansion, but the final loan approval is still pending.
Angra I
The reactor for Angra I is a Westinghouse pressurized water reactor that Brazil bought in the United States. The "bankruptcy kiln from the seventies" was only in operation for 1994 days in 14.
Angra II
The Angra II pressurized water reactor was built using German technology (Siemens / KWU) and went on-line in 2000 after a 25-year planning and construction period. In 2001 150 liters of radioactive water ended up in the Atlantic Ocean.
Angra III
The technology for Angra III was bought in 1985 for 750 million DM and has been stored since then at an annual cost of 20 million dollars. The report from 2,5, which is based on an intended German Hermes export guarantee for Areva / Siemens in the amount of 2010 billion euros, is criticized by environmental groups as a “courtesy report”. It remains unclear to what extent the facility is secured against plane crashes, and there is, according to atomic expert Helmut Hirsch, "no systematic description of which rules and guidelines were used in detail." Also an expanded report presented in 2012 by Areva had been commissioned, left the answers to fundamental questions unanswered, for this reason the German government announced in May 2012 that it would not decide on the desired loan guarantee for the time being.
In September 2014, 2019 was specified as the new completion date; previously, commissioning had been expected in 2018. Disputes about the construction costs and a related withdrawal of workers, as well as the conversion of the technology of the power plant from analog components to digital technology are given as the reason for the delay. These measures are intended to increase the safety of the system.
In 2015 the construction work was stopped.
In 2017, the Brazilian government announced that the power plant would be auctioned off to private investors.
In June 2021, a consortium won the tender to complete the kiln, and the plant is scheduled to go into operation in November 2026 ...
