La transición energética y su impacto en el desarrollo tecno-productivo: el caso de la industria nuclear en Argentina (2006-2024)

Abstract

The concern to promote an energy transition process opens new possibilities for innovation and market creation, which demands the development of public policies aimed at the development of technological solutions. In this framework, the nuclear industry is inserted in this process by promoting the development of new reactor concepts aimed at complementing themselves with renewable generation sources. This work analyzes the development of the Argentine nuclear industry, taking as a starting point the decision adopted in 2006 to relaunching a nuclear development plan. In particular, it is interesting to identify what technological choices were made and provide evidence to analyze what challenges they face and what role the relatively less developed countries will play in said process.
