Dr. Hortensia Jimenez, executive director of Bolivia’s Nuclear Energy Agency (ABEN), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the director general of Spain’s Center for Energy, Environmental and Technology Research (Ciemat), Yolanda Benito Moreno, to carry out joint scientific research projects in nuclear fusion, the Bolivian Information Agency (ABI) reported today from Madrid. Jimenez was accompanied by Bolivia’s Hydrocarbons and Energy Minister Franklin Molina, as part of a tour of several European countries, which included their attendance at the 67th general conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna on Sept. 25.
Research on fusion energy isn’t new to Bolivia. On Aug. 16, 2019 EIR reported on it in an article by Dennis Small and Cynthia Rush “Bolivia Sets its Sights on Fusion Energy and Eliminating Poverty.”
