Rare surviving copy. Renato Edmundo Salazar Justiniano April 11 1913 -December 9 2007 was a Chilean engineer academic and consultant a pioneer in the planning of electrical systems in his country. He was educated at the José Miguel Carrera General National Institute in the capital and at the University of Chile an entity where he graduated in 1940 as a civil engineer a profession that had also been reached by his father and brother.1 He later traveled to the United States where in 1941 he would pass a postgraduate degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University. He started professionally at the General Directorate of Electrical Services in his country. He then went to Endesa where while still very young he assumed responsibility for organizing the company's office in New York. Back in Chile he held the position of Assistant Manager of Engineering. From the works management he was promoted in 1961 to the general management of the company. In 1969 invited by the World Bank WB he advised the National Administration of Power Plants and Electric Transmissions UTE of Uruguay. In 1972 he retired from the company after which he worked as a consultant. He returned to Chile in 1980. Between 1990 and 1993 he served as president of the Colbún Machicura Electric Company on behalf of the first democratic government after the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. The National Council of the College of Engineers of Chile elected Mr. Rodolfo von Bennewitz as the next engineer to be distinguished with the "2014 Infrastructure Award" which will be recognized for its outstanding work and contribution to the development of infrastructure in the country in addition to its outstanding participation in the business and union area. Rodolfo von Bennewitz is a Civil Engineer with a mention in Hydraulics he has an experience of more than 53 years in the fields of electrical planning to serve the country's demands taking advantage of both its hydraulic resources for the purpose of producing electrical energy and of the design and evaluation of hydroelectric projects. From a 2016 assessment: Today only three countries south of the equator have operating nuclear reactors including Brazil and Argentina. While their reactors provide these two countries with just three and six percent of their total electricity respectively nuclear power at one point provided Argentina with nearly one fifth of its electricity. Still there are important differences between a would-be nuclear power program in Chile and the modest but effective ongoing programs in Brazil and Argentina. For one though neither country ever manufactured nuclear weapons both Brazil and Argentina had weapons programs with their respective militaries evidently interested in nuclear weapons from the start of their nuclear programs. With a plainly different geopolitical landscape today than there was in the 1970s it is difficult that such motivations could drive a modern nuclear power program. Secondly and more importantly Chile faces inherent geographic-based difficulties that do not as much affect Argentina let alone Brazil. Chile has thousands of miles of coastline along the circum-Pacific belt also known as the "Ring of Fire" With nearly continuous seismic activity underneath Chile has over and over again experienced significant natural disasters including the largest earthquake ever recorded. Naturally this has engendered skepticism regarding a nuclear power plant. Obstacles notwithstanding Chile's previous two heads of states have made tangible progress toward the development of a nuclear power program. During President Bachelet's first term a nuclear commission she established found that there was no reason to discard nuclear energy as a source of electricity for Chile in the future. Of course soon thereafter Chile was struck with an 8.8 magnitude earthquake in 2010. Only a year later the world witnessed the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl at Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant. While these disaster heightened environmental concerns and certainly aggravated the aforementioned public fears over Chile's natural disaster vulnerabilities they did not wholly stop Chile's progress towards nuclear energy. During the tenure of President Bachelet's successor Sebastian Piñera Chile inked a nuclear energy cooperation agreement with the United States. Further in 2012 the "Colegio de Ingenieros de Chile" - Chile's College of Engineers - outlined a plan for nuclear power in Chile through 2030 that would begin generating energy by 2020. While this is still far from a reality Chile certainly remains on a path if somewhat inconsistent towards nuclear energy. Today Chile remains likely a decade away from an active nuclear power generating reactor. Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S. A. (ENDESA) paperback
