Abstract
The growing demand for electricity, increasing rising fossil fuel prices and global warming in Brazil, together with the lack of access to electricity on the part of the population in certain locations in the Northern Region, such as, for example, Rondônia, Pará and Amazonas, is currently seeking for solutions. The objective of the present study is to carry out a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis of the inclusion of a project of a floating nuclear power plants (FNPP) in Brazil with a view to solving the lack of electricity in homes and in industries located in remote regions of Brazil. Study results identified several socioeconomic and environmental impacts on this regions. The study concludes that in addition to contributing to the solution of the lack of energy in remote regions, the implementation of this proposal could represent in the future a source of inflow of financial resources in the country and of international collaboration. This SWOT study will encourage investors, researchers, engineers and decision makers to open the debate about the benefit of using a FNPP in Brazil, which in addition to providing economic energy rates for the population, would be a profitable business and an international collaboration.
