Formosa commercial CAREM proposal (2010 agreement)
Historical proposal for a commercial CAREM reactor in Formosa province, distinct from the CAREM-25 prototype at Lima. CNEA’s 2015–2025 strategic plan records the 2010 construction agreement, completed macro-siting and micro-siting work nearing completion. It describes approximately 120 MWe and plans engineering for higher-power CAREM modules. That historical concept figure is not assigned to the CAREM-25 design or treated as a current confirmed plant rating. The parcel, operator, current activity and final disposition remain unverified; the signing location supplies no map pin.
