Argentina - stagnation of the program
After President Javier Miley came to power in Argentina, the country nuclear program is facing great difficulties.
Initially, the situation did not look so serious. Among the new ministers, there were people who spoke favorably about the peaceful atom, although the first signs of an impending crisis were already visible in the first days after Miley victory.
Thus, for political reasons, cooperation with China on the construction of a power unit with the Chinese reactor Hualong One was curtailed.
Over the past decade, the Chinese corporation CNNC has made repeated attempts to obtain orders for the construction of power units in Argentina. The first public reports on the agreements reached date back to 2015.
