Rosatom resumes construction of nuclear reactor in Bolivia

Russia’s atomic agency Rosatom has resumed construction at Bolivia’s Nuclear Research Center, with some operations set to begin at the end of this year. The research center is being built in the city of El Alto, 4,000 meters above sea level, and will be the highest in the world to host nuclear facilities. Rosatom’s first deputy director general, Kirill Komarov, said: ‘A lot has already been done. This year, the Cyclotron Radiopharmacy Preclinical Complex and the Multipurpose Irradiation Center will go into operation.’
