What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Brazil’s audit court granted the government 240 days to determine the future of the Angra 3 nuclear plant, which has been unfinished since 2015. The Ministry of Mines and Energy has 120 days to provide updated technical studies, after which the National Energy Policy Council must decide whether to resume construction or abandon the project. Benjamin Zymler reported that the years of delay have resulted in mounting costs.
