If a country in Central America signed up for a Russian or Chinese reactor, this would not be good for U.S. national security in the region,&#8221; said Kee, who founded the Washington-based Nuclear Economics Consulting Group. &#8220;This is especially a concern because these Russian and Chinese nuclear power deals usually include broader government-to-government arrangements.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The United States is the <a href=\"https:\/\/world-nuclear.org\/information-library\/country-profiles\/countries-t-z\/usa-nuclear-power\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">largest producer of nuclear energy<\/a>, accounting for about 30% of the worldwide total, according to the World Nuclear Association.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Proponents <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/ne\/office-nuclear-energy#:~:text=Nuclear%20energy%20is%20one%20of,%2C%20environmental%2C%20and%20economic%20needs.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">say nuclear energy<\/a> is one the most environmentally friendly, reliable existing energy resources, but critics view it as dangerous, wasteful and expensive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Energy Secretary <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/senate-confirms-chris-wright-energy-secretary\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Chris Wright<\/a><\/span> has promised to prioritize the production of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/trumps-energy-department-pick-call-more-lng-nuclear-power-2025-01-15\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">nuclear power<\/a> and liquefied natural gas under the Trump administration.

At their core, the agreements are intended to advance shared nuclear nonproliferation and security objectives between the United States and its partners, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/bureau-of-international-security-and-nonproliferation\/releases\/2025\/01\/123-agreements#:~:text=123%20Agreements%20on%20civil%20nuclear,energy%2C%20science%2C%20and%20technology.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the State Department said<\/a> in its information page outlining these agreements.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. had 25 such agreements as of Feb. 3, including with the United Kingdom, Singapore, Norway and others. El Salvador would be the first and only country from Central America in that group.<\/p>\n<p>El Salvador is pursuing nuclear power \u2014 signing a similar agreement with Argentina in October \u2014 at a time when the barriers that have prevented smaller countries from developing it may be receding, according to Alfonso Blanco, the former executive director of the intergovernmental Latin American Energy Organization.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a significant opportunity for the revival of nuclear energy through small-scale reactors, and the technology requires demonstration sites in countries that lack developed nuclear capacities,&#8221; said Blanco, who now works for The Dialogue, a Washington-based think tank. &#8220;This could represent a potential development path for El Salvador.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blanco said El Salvador and most other countries have limited options for procuring the necessary fuel for nuclear power because only eight countries have the technical capacity to enrich uranium.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For El Salvador, positioning itself as a regional pioneer in the use of a new nuclear technology could present an interesting opportunity, especially considering that such infrastructure projects have significant spillover effects on job creation and local capacity development,&#8221; Blanco said.<\/p>\n<p>But while the country&#8217;s mega-prison is already built and ready to house tens of thousands of people, its nuclear plans are in their infancy.<\/p>\n<p>That means El Salvador is unlikely to close in on nuclear power while President Trump is in office, according to Francisco Monaldi, director of the Latin America Energy Program at Rice University&#8217;s Baker Institute for Public Policy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is something that probably will not happen during the Trump administration, and it will take a long time to materialize, if it materializes,&#8221; Monaldi said.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \"\/><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/graham-kates\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Graham Kates<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Graham Kates is an investigative reporter covering criminal justice, privacy issues and information security for CBS News Digital.
