Two directors of Nucleoeléctrica Argentina, a state-owned company that manages the country’s three nuclear power plants, were suspended last week over allegations of corruption. The suspended directors, general manager Marcelo Famá and administrative coordination manager Hernán Pantuso, were appointed by the head of Nucleoeléctrica, Demian Reidel, who is close to President Javier Milei. Reidel has also been the target of criticisms among workers in the country’s nuclear institutions, who accuse him of slashing budgets and salaries, as well as terminating signature projects. A spokesperson for Nucleoeléctrica told the Herald that the company would not comment on the scandal. Moreover, despite being close to Reidel, Lavalle, who is a member of Nucleoeléctrica’s board, proposed and voted for the suspension of Famá and Pantuso.
