The Nicaraguan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation (Rosatom) signed a roadmap for the peaceful uses of atomic energy during the 12th International Atomexpo Forum, an event of the global nuclear market in the Russian city of Sochi.
Nicaragua does not have the technical and financial resources, nor is it adequately prepared to develop this type of energy, said Mara Elvira Cuadra, sociologist and associate scientist at the Center for Communication Research and the Institute for Strategic Studies and Public Policy of Nicaragua.
From 2018 to now, the brain drain has actually increased substantially and many of the countrys best professionals have had to go to other nations due to the socio-political crisis and the authoritarian programs of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, she adds.This memorandum is the very first document in the field of serene usages of nuclear energy in between Russia and Nicaragua (Photo web recreation)The roadmap belongs to arrangements Nicaragua has actually signed with Russia for technical and productive clinical cooperation.
It describes the standards to advance in the field of cooperation in non-energy applications of nuclear and radiological innovations and to reinforce the capabilities of professionals, especially in the fields of medicine, hydraulics, geothermal energy and wind energy, reported the Nicaraguan paper El 19 Digital .
This memorandum is the first file in the field of serene uses of atomic energy in between Russia and Nicaragua.
The document lays the structure for cooperation in a vast array of areas, in particular raising public awareness of nuclear innovations, establishing nuclear infrastructure and non-energy usages of nuclear energy in industry, farming and medicine.
What is considered particularly unsafe are 2 main aspects.
The first is the facility of a real Russian military base in the heart of Central America with extensive functional abilities in an area of high tactical level of sensitivity, Luis Guillermo Sols, previous President of Costa Rica and director of the Center for Latin American Studies at Florida International University, told the independent Nicaraguan news site Confidencial.The former president indicated the risks of Russias contribution to the renewal of the Ortega-Murillo routines militaries and the construction of high-tech military centers and the development of nuclear power plants.Considering that Nicaragua does not have the technical conditions, labs or other suitable centers for the development of this kind of market, the sociologist Cuadra advances the following 2 hypotheses: One is that it is a discourse, which is being promoted by Russia in Nicaragua in order to preserve the environment of fight with the United States in order to develop greater friction and usage Nicaragua as an excuse.
The other thing is that Russia is bringing the essential resources to Nicaragua for this, technical, material and personnels.
Then [ ...] we would need to see what kind of involvement Nicaragua would have and what Russias genuine goal is in developing that kind of energy in the nation.
In order to establish nuclear energy, an atomic power plant would need to be set up.
We already understand what happens when a nuclear reactor stops working and the area that could be affected by its radiation, Erick Mora, a professor at the University of Costa Ricas Faculty of Physics, informed Costa Rican paper La Teja.
Imagine there was a reactor in Nicaragua and it stopped working, then that would not only be a threat for us, however for all of Central America, Mexico, Panama, i.e.
for the entire area.
