This Tuesday (18), the Navy inaugurated the new facilities of the Directorate-General for Nuclear and Technological Development (DGDNTM) at the Navy’s Technological Center, on the campus of the University of São Paulo (USP), in the capital.
The board used to be at the headquarters of the naval arm of the Armed Forces, in Rio de Janeiro. In a note, the Navy justified the change in the body’s location by saying that São Paulo concentrates “renowned universities, with their research centers and laboratories of international recognition”.
In Rio de Janeiro, the DGDNTM will maintain control over the Navy’s Technological Center, the Naval Systems Analysis Center, the Navy’s Research Institute and the Institute for Studies of the Sea Almirante Paulo Moreira.
The rector of USP, Carlos Gilberto Carlotti Júnior, highlighted the importance of the synergy between the Navy and the university and highlighted the potential for accelerating Brazil’s nuclear development that it suggests.
“We have a Conventionally Armed Submarine with Nuclear Propulsion under development. We have an undergraduate course in Nuclear Engineering at the Polytechnic School that was only created because of this partnership with the Brazilian Navy,” said Carlotti.
