Abstract

The present investigation was motivated by the purpose - as a general objective of the research work - to examine the legal scenario of Nuclear Energy between Brazil and Uruguay under the bias of Transconstitutionalism and Energy Transition, based on the analytical coexistence between inspection and State entrepreneurship before the Paradigm of Sustainability and Regional Integration. The methodology used in this work will be qualitative, in which it was decided to search for non-exhaustive sources of the transition process of both countries, taking into account the territorial, geopolitical and technological aspects involved. For this purpose, research, surveys and analysis of texts, articles, constitutional reform projects, legislation, Energy Policies and their strategies, as well as official documents from governments, entities, organizations and international agencies were carried out. The focus of this project is based on historical content, concentrated on the period 2015 - 2020, although the Energy Plans are projected until 2050. In the academic period, complementary themes such as energy transition and public security developed in an antagonistic manner, denoting the need for a triple helix of action between three main development actors: the State, the Academy, and the Production of Services through public policies. It is concluded that the Uruguayan plan sought above all to foster innovation leading to the country's internal energy development and independence, strategically achieving its energy security based on political attractiveness, and that the Brazilian exploration potential is concentrated from the moment in which that it can mitigate stigmas and think of the nuclear resource as a complementary source that makes it possible to meet domestic demand and less dependence on water sources.
