Argentina's President Mauricio Macri defended the "peaceful use of nuclear energy" at the global Nuclear Security Summit Washington, DC. "Much can be achieved in the realm of nuclear security, without affecting its peaceful use," he said. Macri told the summit that Argentina offered a model whereby the domestic production of uranium isotopes could be made safer by using lower enrichment levels in the reactor fuel. "Argentina is consolidating a restructuring process in which all our working reactors operate with low-enriched uranium," he said, adding that "although it has been argued that this reduction could hinder nuclear activities, the case of Argentina shows that it's possible. Argentina today is a country free of highly enriched uranium."
