22.7.2009 | Em 2008 a INB vai produzir o milésimo Elemento Combustível
As Indústrias Nucleares do Brasil (INB) já iniciou a fabricação da 6ª recarga de Angra 2, quando será produzido o milésimo Elemento Combustível na Fábrica de Combustível Nuclear (FCN) em Resende/RJ. A equipe da usinagem da FCN trabalha nesta produção desde outubro. O urânio enriquecido em forma de gás (UF6) chegou ao Brasil no início de janeiro e já foi encaminhado para as fábricas de Reconversão - transformação do gás em pó - e de Pastilhas de UO2.
22.7.2009 | Urânio enriquecido chega à INB para a recarga de Angra 2
As Indústrias Nucleares do Brasil - INB recebeu logo no início de 2008, dia 03, o carregamento de hexafluoreto de urânio (UF6), vindo da Holanda e Alemanha, para a produção da 6º recarga de combustível de Angra 2. Na Fábrica de Combustível Nuclear - FCN, em Resende/RJ, serão realizadas as demais etapas do ciclo do combustível: reconversão - transformação do gás em pó -, fabricação de pastilhas e montagem do elemento combustível. Ao todo, a INB recebeu 21 cilindros de UF6, dos quais, 20 enriquecidos a um grau de 4% e outro, a 4,4%. Totalizando, aproximadamente, 45 toneladas de hexafluoreto.
22.7.2009 | Angra 3 é primeira usina nuclear do País projetada para dar lucro
A usina de Angra 3 é o primeiro projeto de geração de energia nuclear no Brasil desenhado para ser lucrativo. Os anteriores, Angra 1 e Angra 2, não tinham essa missão por incorporar os custos de aquisição e desenvolvimento de tecnologia nesse segmento, explica Iukio Ogawa, superintendente de Licenciamento e Meio Ambiente da Eletronuclear, empresa do grupo Eletrobrás responsável por construir e operar usinas termonucleares no País.
22.7.2009 | Com sexta maior reserva mundial de urânio, país não pode abrir mão de energia nuclear
O Brasil detém a sexta maior reserva de urânio do mundo e é um dos três países que dominam todo o ciclo nuclear. Por isso, não pode abrir mão da energia nuclear para garantir o abastecimento energético necessário ao crescimento econômico e ao atendimento do consumo da população.
14.4.2009 | INB Caetité inicia novo método de mineração
A INB iniciará, em breve, um novo método de lavra na jazida Cachoeira, em Caetité, com vistas ao aumento de produção de urânio. Atualmente operando com a lavra a céu aberto, a previsão é de que daqui há dois anos entre também em operação a lavra subterrânea, resultando em operação conjunta em uma única mina.

In a conference in Rio de Janeiro, one of Greenpeace founders affirms that it is necessary to quadruplicate the number of nuclear plants in the world.
15.11.2008 | Analyzes proves no contamination on the Greenpeace analyzed points
The uranium on Caetité, Ceará, exists for more than 500 million years. Through this period of time series of geological processes happened, which resulted in dispersion of different minerals volumes throughout the area. Uranium presents small solubility, therefore the superficial and surface waters in contact with the mineral absorb part of this material.
20.10.2008 | INB clarification note about denounces of uranium contamination in Caetité
Greenpeace, is his alarmist habitual tone, publicized the report “Danger Cycle – Impacts of Brazilian Nuclear Fuel Production”, with their characteristic action apparatus, first with an extensive report on Rede Record TV journal (10/15/08) and on the following day with a collective interview to the main Brazilian medias about the same subject.
19.10.2008 | New Equipment
Besides the production of the thousandth EC, 6th Angra 2 recharge includes new acquired equipment by INB – about 15 million Brazilian reais invested – on nuclear fuel production line. Modernizing the FCN structure and providing state-of-the-art equipment is a concern of INB directory. “These new equipments eliminate old production bottlenecks, improve operational security, guarantee goals achievement and reduce the production cost”, the superintendent guarantees.
17.10.2008 | Enriched Uranium arrives at INB for Angra 2 recharge
Brazilian Nuclear Industries (INB) receives in the beginning of 2008 (January 3rd ) the uranium hexafluoride loading (UF6) from Holland and Germany for the 6th Angra 2 fuel recharge. At the Nuclear Fuel Factory (FCN) – Resende/RJ –the further steps of fuel cycle will be performed: Reconversion – making gas into dust – pellet manufacturing and assembling element fuel. In its totality, INB received 21 UF6 cylinders (20 enrichment on 4% degree and another 4.4%). Totalizing approximately 45 hexafluoride tons.
17.10.2008 | In 2008 INB will produce the thousandth Fuel Element
Brazilian Nuclear Industries (INB) started the production of the 6th Angra 2 recharge when the thousandth Fuel Element on Nuclear Fuel Factory (FCN) will be produced in Resende/RJ. The FCN machining team works in this production since October. Enriched uranium gas (UF6) arrived in Brazil in early January and was sent to Reconversion factories – making gas into dust – and UO2 Pellet factories.
24.8.2007 | Angra 3 is the first nuclear plant of the country projected to be lucrative
Angra 3 is the first Brazilian nuclear generation project designed to be lucrative. Angra 1 and 2 did not have this mission because they incorporated the owning and technology development costs in this segment, explains Iukio Ogawa, superintendent from Licensing and Environmental of Eletronuclear, an Eletrobrás company responsible to build and operate thermonuclear plants on Brazil.
24.8.2007 | With the 6th major world reserve of uranium, Brazil cannot abandon nuclear energy
