The 2006 Argentine nuclear reactivation plan is a project to renew and reactivate the development of nuclear power in Argentina.

The main points of the plan were announced by the Argentine government through Planning Minister Julio de Vido during a press conference on 23 August 2006. ^{[1] [2]} They include:

• Finishing the incomplete Atucha II nuclear power plant, which was started in 1980, by 2010.
• Researching the feasibility of the construction of a new nuclear plant (which would be fourth in Argentina).
• Extending the operational life of the Embalse power plant, originally projected to end in 2011.
• Resuming the domestic production of enriched uranium.
• Working on a prototype CAREM reactor, a low-power nuclear station.^[3]
