Guatemala interoceanic corridor launches tokenization in El Salvador

The Government of El Salvador, through the agency for the implementation of the Nuclear Energy Program (Oipen), officially began the first design mission of external sites and events (Seed), with the accompaniment of experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (OIEA). This mission represents a key step in the identification of the possible sites where the country’s future nuclear plant will be built.

The EIEA team of specialists has already begun the technical and environmental analysis of the candidate areas, applying rigorous international criteria that prioritize nuclear safety, technical viability and environmental protection. According to the authorities, the departments of San Vicente and Chalatenango are among the preselected areas for complying with the established requirements.

“This is one of the most important steps of our nuclear program. We have the direct accompaniment of the OIEA, whose representatives have come to rigorly review the proposed sites, guiding us under the highest security standards,” said Daniel Álvarez, Director Ad Honoram de Oipen.

The SEED mission not only evaluates the physical and technical aspects of the sites, but also reinforces the country’s commitment to responsible and transparent use of nuclear energy. In addition, it seeks to strengthen local technical abilities and incorporate good international practices, thus generating greater public confidence in the project.

The Salvadoran government sees in this initiative a strategic opportunity to diversify its energy matrix and move towards greater energy autonomy. The installation of a nuclear plant is considered a milestone in the transformation of the national energy system, with projected benefits for future generations.
