About This Site
Written by NukeWorker from public records: facts that do not change. Operator, status and capacity come from the live data elsewhere on this page. Sources: Wikipedia: Juragua Nuclear Power Plant; NBC News: Cuba's unfinished power source.
Juragua was to be Cuba's first nuclear power plant, built with Soviet help on the coast near Cienfuegos. A 1976 agreement with the Soviet Union called for two VVER-440 pressurized water reactors of 440 MWe each. Work on the first unit began in 1983 and on the second in 1985.

Construction was suspended in 1992, after the collapse of the Soviet Union ended its economic aid to Cuba. Neither reactor was finished or loaded with fuel, and the plant never produced electricity.
Never completed: construction stopped in 1992
