When El Salvador agreed to put migrants in “Mega Prison”, now he ran the path of nuclear energy

State Secretary Marco Rubio announced last week This President El Salvador offered to close deportise from the US of any citizenship, including US nationals, but the agreement came the same day as a less published offer from the United States: Nuclear Energy.

Foreign Minister El Salvador Alexandra Hill Tinoco said that an agreement on civil nuclear cooperation with the US will assist in the power of Central America “at competitive prices without addiction to geopolitics or oil prices.”

“Experience that [the United States has] On civil nuclear energy, we will provide us with all the tools we need to train our people, to train our Salvadorane experts, who will lead the technical and regulatory aspects of this transition – this unprecedented transition, “said Hill Tonoco.

Rubius welcomed the Nuclear Cooperation Agreement just before he announced that President El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, also agreed to take deported and closed Americans from the USA “put them in their prisons.”

BUKELE said He would have made the United States “relatively low compensation for household convicted criminals at the El Salvador Prison Center, or Cecot, a mega prison built to hold up to 40,000 people. He said the nominal expense of America would help El Salvador’s prison system be sustainable.

The Nuclear Agreement is a potential victory for national security for the United States, according to Edward Kee, which was appointed in 2022 to the Nuclear Energy Nuclear Energy Counseling Committee.

“The nuclear power plant is a hundred -year contract. If the country in Central America is reported to Russian or Chinese reactor, it would not be good for US national security in the region,” said Kee, who founded the headquarters in Washington Washington Nuclear Counseling Group economy. “This is especially concerned because these Russian and Chinese nuclear energy contracts usually include wider government arrangements and governments.”

The United States are the largest nuclear energy manufacturerwhich makes up about 30% of the total number of worldwide, according to the World Nuclear Association.

Advocates Say nuclear energy is one of the environmentally friendly, reliable existing energy resources, but critics consider it dangerous, wasteful and more expensive.

Energy secretary Chris Wright promised to give priority to production nuclear energy and fastened natural gas under Trump’s administration. Investors cheered, and the shares jumped when Wright, executive director of fossil fuel company, was nominated.

Partner countries must sign what is known as 123 agreements with the United States before the US license significant exports of nuclear material and US origin equipment. Basically, agreements are intended to improve the common nuclear nursing and security goals between the United States and its partners, State Department said In his page with information that contains these agreements.

The US had 25 such agreements from February 3, including the United Kingdom, Singapore, Norway and others. El Salvador would be the first and only country from Central America in that group.

El Salvador follows nuclear energy – signing a similar agreement with Argentina in October – at a time when the obstacles that prevented smaller countries can be drawn to withdraw, said Alfonso Blanco, former executive director of the Energy Organization of the Intervlad of Latin America.

“There is a significant opportunity to revive nuclear energy through small reactors, and technology requires demonstration sites in countries that lack nuclear capacities,” said Blanco, who now works for a dialogue, a research center based in Washington. “This could be a potential development path for El Salvador.”

Blanco said that El Salvador and most other countries have limited opportunities to procure the necessary fuel for nuclear energy, because only eight countries have a technical ability to enrich Uranus.

“For El Salvadora, positioning as a regional pioneer in using a new nuclear technology could provide an interesting opportunity, especially considering that such infrastructure projects have significant effects of switching on new jobs and the development of local capacities,” Blanco said.

But while the mega prison in the country has already been built and is ready to accommodate tens of thousands of people, his nuclear plans are in its infancy.

This means that El Salvador is unlikely to be closed in nuclear energy, while President Trump is in power, according to Francisco Monaldi, director of the Latin American Energy Program at the Rice University Public Policy Institute.

“This is something that is unlikely to happen during Trump’s administration and it will take a long time to materialize, if it comes to fruition,” Monaldi said.
