Overview
- The new body reports directly to Economy Minister Luis Caputo and operates separately from the Energy Secretariat, with both offices retaining autonomy.
- The government said the secretariat’s role is to coordinate Argentina’s nuclear sector, accelerate projects, and advance uranium development for international supply ambitions.
- Media reports name the appointee as Federico Ramos Nápoli, a recent Dioxitek leader, while at least one outlet cites Fernando Ramos Nogueira, reflecting initial discrepancies in attribution.
- Officials link the reorganization to the Plan Nuclear Argentino and highlight priority projects including the CAREM small modular reactor and the RA-10 radioisotope facility.
- The announcement comes as coverage notes faster steps toward privatizing Nucleoeléctrica S.A., and the government underscores that Atucha I–II and Embalse provide about 6.5% of national power.
