The administration of President Cristina Fernandez rejected a request from Paraguay on the nuclear plant, and area of influence, Argentina plans to build in the neighbouring province of Formosa. The situation was exposed by Paraguayan lawmaker Olga Ferreira de Lopez who called the Argentine president a ‘perverse woman’.
Argentina will press ahead with plans to develop a small-scale nuclear reactor over the next three years, even when last month‘s disaster in Japan prompted countries such as Germany and Brazil to reconsider projects.
