The Critical Design Review for Argentina's CAREM small modular reactor should be completed within 60 days, the new president of the National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA), Germán Guido Lavalle, has said.

The CAREM name is taken from Central Argentina de Elementos Modulares. The 32 MWe prototype is Argentina's first domestically designed and developed nuclear power unit. At least 70% of the components and related services for CAREM-25 are to be sourced from Argentine companies. The commercial model ultimately envisaged by CNEA as the basis of a multi-reactor plant would have a higher power of between 100 and 120 MWe.
