en.Wedoany.com Reported - Argentina's state-owned nuclear power company (Nucleoeléctrica Argentina S.A., NASA) has achieved its first export of nuclear power plant components, selling Flow Restrictor Outlet Shield Plugs (FROSP) for CANDU heavy water reactor fuel channels to Candu Energy, a subsidiary of AtkinsRéalis in Canada, with a contract value exceeding one million USD. These components are used to optimize reactor operating conditions and safety, marking the first transaction of NASA's newly established nuclear power services and component export business unit.

The FROSP exported this time was jointly developed by NASA, Conuar, and the National Atomic Energy Commission of Argentina (CNEA), with its technology directly derived from and validated in the life extension project of the Embalse CANDU nuclear power plant (completed in 2019). NASA stands out among global nuclear power operators with full-cycle capabilities ranging from engineering design, construction, and commissioning to operation, which were strengthened through national projects such as the completion of the Atucha II nuclear power plant and the Embalse life extension.

This move marks NASA's official entry into the international nuclear supply chain, aligning its new export strategy with the policy direction promoted by Argentina's Nuclear Affairs Secretariat to enhance the country's nuclear industry export capabilities. Nuclear Affairs Secretary Federico Ramos Napoli emphasized that breaking away from the limitation of focusing solely on the domestic public sector and seizing international opportunities is key to Argentina's nuclear energy development in this century.
