Morales' Legacy: Bolivian Joint Nuclear Project With Russia's Rosatom

[PJL]

" Bolivia is reviving projects that were put on pause after the November 2019 coup d'etat. Together with restarting its ambitious lithium programme, the country is continuing the construction of the Centre for Nuclear Technology Research and Development (CNTRD) in El Alto.

On 4 June, Bolivian Minister of Hydrocarbons and Energies Franklin Molina Ortiz met with senior managers of state atomic energy corporation Rosatom during his official visit to Russia. They discussed what progress had been made to date in the implementation of the joint CNTRD endeavour and projected that the operations of its first component – the Multipurpose Irradiation Centre (MIC) – would begin before the end of 2021.

On 19 September 2017, the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for the CNTRD construction in El Alto was signed by the Bolivian Nuclear Energy Agency (ABEN) and JSC GSPI, operating under the auspices of Rusatom Overseas – Rosatom's company responsible for the international marketing and promotion of centres for nuclear science and technology.

"The CNTRD project is a unique project not only for Bolivia, but also for the entire Latin America," Mikhail Ledenev, the head of the Russian embassy, told journalists on 24 March 2021. "Such centres are to improve R&D collaboration and attract scientists from all over the world helping to solve global challenges." .......https://sputniknews.com/latam/202106...latin-america/

Bolivia has a lot of problems. All of which aren’t related to this issue.

You don't know anything about Bolivia. You just follow the propaganda.

Bolivians are so stupid! Don't they know that solar panels and windmills are so much better for generating electricity.

We need to send down our top scientists from the Democrat Party to inform them of this. Maybe even Biden and Obama.

I realize how hard it is for you to accept that your allies are starting to doubt your integrity , but that doesn't mean we've totally abandoned you and run off to join the CCP .....(lol)....all we really expect (demand) is that America grows up , faces it's mistakes and starts being honest , instead of constantly telling lies and undermining us as allies . An end to the constant spying on us would be appreciated , as well .

Yes I have. My brother worked in the embassy for several years and I visited him on several occasions. Unless you were one of the connected elites, the Bolivian lifestyle was quite miserable.
