Description

A brief description of the nuclear energy activities in Mexico is presented. The most important of these are related to the operation of Unit-1 of the Laguna Verde Nuclear Power Plant and the construction of Unit-2, both 654MWe (net) boiling water reactors (GE, Mark II). The research and development activities as well as the local specialized technical services capacity are described. Participation in the design of simplified light water reactors and the activities related to siting studies for future nuclear power plants and engineering for installation of low and medium level radioactive waste are also presented. Application of radioisotopes in industry and medicine is described the research and development activities related to them as well as the future plans for the utilization of nuclear energy in power generation are briefly discussed. 1 tab., 2 figs
