Argentina backs PHL nuclear energy push
The Philippine Star
|October 01, 2025
Argentina stands ready to provide critical expertise and technology to ensure the Philippines safely launches its first operational nuclear power plant, according to its embassy.
In a statement to The STAR, the Argentine embassy reaffirmed Buenos Aires' commitment to supporting Manila's nuclear energy program, including the potential revival of the long-dormant Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP).
"By working together, our countries can lay the groundwork for a Philippine nuclear program that is not only technically sound but also socially beneficial, economically inclusive and aligned with the highest international safety standards," it said.
Argentina, one of the leading nuclear players in Latin America, is set to take center stage - alongside eight other countries - at the second Philippine International Nuclear Supply Chain Forum (PINSCF) this week.
Through this participation, the embassy said, Argentina is expected to offer over five decades of nuclear expertise, providing a practical roadmap to help the Philippines advance its nuclear energy goals.
