🪨 Hoy, 28 de mayo, celebramos el Día Nacional del Proveedor Minero en Argentina 🇦🇷⛏️.

Detrás de cada tonelada extraída, hay una cadena invisible pero indispensable: la del proveedor que llegó antes, que subió a 4.800 metros cuando nadie miraba, que entregó a tiempo en el medio de la cordillera o atravesó una selva.

El proveedor minero no es un eslabón de la cadena. 𝐄𝐬 𝐥𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐚.

Sin sus bienes, sus servicios y su compromiso con el territorio y con la industria, no hay mina que opere, no hay exportación que sume, no hay región que crezca.

MiningiDEAS: corazón argentino, base española, presencia global. Donde haya una mina, ahí estará nuestra gente.

¡Feliz día a todos los proveedores mineros!

Nuclear energy is a key tool in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and achieving climate goals will require an increase in nuclear capacity. Correspondingly, uranium demand is expected to rise in the coming decades. Likewise, the need for site investigations for both nuclear power plants and nuclear waste disposal facilities is growing. Geological investigations play a significant role both in the front-end and back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle activities. The discovery of a uranium deposit, the definition of uranium resources, and the development of uranium mines require long-term commitment to geological investigations. Similarly, a wide range of geological data must be collected and assessed during site investigations for radioactive waste disposal facilities, as well as in evaluating the long-term safety of high-level waste.

Read the full paper "Importance and Role of Geological Investigations in the Expected Expansion of Nuclear Energy to Combat Climate Change” by Esa Pohjolainen, Markku Paananen, Ismo Aaltonen and Heini Reijonen. The paper was published in issue 59 of the journal, and you can read it here: https://eurogeologists.eu/go/egj59-7
