The low-angle neutron scattering instrument transferred from the Paul Sherrer Institute in Switzerland is in place at the Argentine Neutron Beam Laboratory.

Framatome and Nucleoeléctrica are to carry out a pre-feasibility study on producing radioisotopes such as lutetium-177 at Argentina's Atucha I, Atucha II and Embalse nuclear power units.

Argentina's National Atomic Energy Commission is planning to release 80,000 sterilised male mosquitos per week to combat dengue and other diseases.

A 50% increase in molybdenum-99 and 22% more iodine-131 will be produced by adding an extra shift and increasing the hours of irradiation at the RA-3 reactor, Argentina's National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA) has said.

Nucleoeléctrica Argentina says it has secured the necessary funds to carry out the Atucha 1 life extension project.

The National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA) of Argentina says the country is aiming to contribute its experience and facilities to collaborate with countries interested in adopting nuclear technologies for peaceful purposes.

The 230-tonne cyclotron, which will produce proton beams for advanced cancer therapy, was lifted into the building in two stages this week.

Argentina's Nuclear Regulatory Authority says that planned upgrades and improvements to allow a 20-year extension to the Atucha I nuclear power unit will "raise the design basis of the facility to a higher level of safety than that with which it was originally licensed".
