Argentina has expressed readiness to share its nuclear expertise and technology to support the Philippines’ push for nuclear energy, including the possible revival of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP).
The Argentine embassy said collaboration aims to ensure a safe, socially beneficial, and internationally compliant nuclear program for Manila.
Argentina, with three operating nuclear plants, will highlight its five decades of experience at the Philippine International Nuclear Supply Chain Forum (PINSCF) this week.
Its success in completing the long-delayed Atucha 2 plant is seen as a parallel to the BNPP’s stalled rehabilitation.
This partnership comes as the Philippines strengthens its nuclear ambitions with the creation of an independent regulatory body and plans to add 1,200 MW of nuclear power by 2032.
