Pouring of first concrete began on Monday for the foundation of a $300m nuclear research reactor complex in Bolivia, marking the formal start of the project which will see Russia build a nuclear research and technology centre in the South American country.

In March 2016, Russia and Bolivia signed an agreement on cooperation on the construction of the centre at a site in the city of El Alto, western Bolivia. In September 2017, the Bolivian Nuclear Energy Agency and JSC State Specialised Design Institute, a subsidiary of Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom, signed a contract for construction.

The research centre will include a water-cooled research reactor with nominal power of up to 200 kW, an experimental gamma-installation, a cyclotron and radiopharmacology complex, engineering facilities and various laboratories.
