The restart of Argentina’s Heavy Water Industrial Plant (PIAP - Planta Industrial de Agua Pesada) at Arroyito in Neuquén, planned for 2025, is seen as opening possibilities for clean energy generation and for export. Following a recent visit to the plant, Adriana Serquis, President of the National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA - Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica), said PIAP was a “strategic asset” for Argentina.

Argentina will export some of the heavy water produced at its re-commissioned Neuquén production plant for scientific and medical purposes. Most of the heavy water will go to support the country's three nuclear power plants. The plant may also be modified to produce clean fuels like ammonia and hydrogen.

Nuclear reactor technology could also be used to produce hydrogen The IMSR is said to be 50 percent more efficient than traditional reactors. Courtesy Terrestrial Energy. Canada-based Generation IV reactor developer Terrestrial Energy has signed an agreement with US-based KBR to investigate the use of the integral molten salt reactor (IMSR) for hydrogen and ammonia production.

Terrestrial Energy said that zero-emission thermal energy from IMSR nuclear cogeneration can be used in the production process of hydrogen and ammonia.

KBR supplies ammonia production technology to chemical manufacturers globally, the statement said.

According to Terrestrial Energy, KBR will support the development of “commercial frameworks” for the deployment and marketing of ammonia production technology using IMSR cogeneration.
