Atucha, locality in Buenos Aires provincia (province), eastern Argentina, northwest of Buenos Aires city. It is the site of a nuclear power plant, Atucha I, which is located on the Paraná de las Palmas River, a channel of the lower Paraná River delta, about 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Zárate. The station, utilizing a pressurized heavy-water reactor, began supplying power to the national grid in 1974. The construction of a second unit, Atucha II, began in 1981 but was repeatedly delayed until work resumed on it in 2006.
