The US$8 billion plant, known as Atucha III, will use China’s home-grown Hualong One design. Located near Lima – about 100km (62 miles) northwest of the capital Buenos Aires – it will be Argentina’s fourth nuclear power station and will have an installed capacity of 1.2 gigawatts and an initial life of 60 years.
