Caribbean Based Nuclear Power...not yet...but?

Is there any Caribbean Based Nuclear Power?

The answer is no...not yet. In fact the Cubans and the Russians worked cooperatively to begin a nuclear project back in the 1990s... but they did not finish the development. The Juragua Nuclear Power facility in Cienfuegos, Cuba in fact is in full shut down today... though the Cuban Government would probably consider finishing the site if there had been a way to fund it through a third party. Shut down unit 2 at Cienfuegos.

The reality of the failed project was that Russia pulled out after the USSR folded...they could not afford the hundreds of millions it would have taken in 1996 to bring one plant online, let alone both. That does not mean Cuba would not like a nuclear power option, time will tell as they move from their current political process to what ever evolves in the future.

There have been other nations that have wanted to explore nuclear power, but none have landed a project yet...though in 2007 Suriname began discussions on the possible development of a Nuclear Power Plant. Funding would be tied to aluminum production in a related project... so who knows... Nuclear Power may very well end up in the Caribbean and with it all the concerns related to natural and man made disasters.
