Nuclear energy in Chile

Nuclear energy in Chile

In Chile, although there is no commitment from the government to introduce nuclear energy until 2011, the debate is ongoing. In February 2007, the Energy Ministry of Chile announced that it was beginning technical studies into the development of nuclear power, despite being highly rejected by the population.[1]
