Editing Angra Nuclear Power Plant (section)

==Existing complex==
The '''Central Nuclear Almirante Álvaro Alberto''' complex is administered by [[Eletronuclear]], a state company with the [[monopoly]] in nuclear power generation in Brazil. The complex employs some 3,000 people and generates another 10,000 indirect jobs in [[Rio de Janeiro (state)|Rio de Janeiro state]].

Angra I was purchased from [[Westinghouse Electric Corporation (1886)|Westinghouse]] of the [[United States|USA]] (its sister power plant is [[Krško Nuclear Power Plant]] in Slovenia<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://entrac.iaea.org/I-and-C/TM_PRAGUE_2007_05/CD/Papers/Furieri_paper.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2009-07-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004072938/http://entrac.iaea.org/I-and-C/TM_PRAGUE_2007_05/CD/Papers/Furieri_paper.pdf |archive-date=2011-10-04 |url-status=dead }}</ref>). The [[balance of plant]] design was subcontracted to Gibbs and Hill (USA) in association with PROMON Engenharia S.A. and construction to Brasileira de Engenharia S.A.<ref name=IAEAreport/>

The purchase did not include the transfer of sensitive reactor technology. As a result, Angra II was built with [[pre-Konvoi]] German technology, as part of a comprehensive nuclear agreement between Brazil and [[West Germany]] signed by President [[Ernesto Geisel]] in 1975. The complex was designed to have three [[Pressurized water reactor|PWR]] units with a total output of around 3,000 MWe and was to be the first of 4 nuclear plants that would be built up to 1990.
