Brazil under nuclear microscope -- again

Trechos:Last week Brazil and the United Nation's nuclear agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, clashed over the terms of inspections at the Resende plant set for October.

Under international law, the plant cannot begin to process uranium until it passes IAEA inspection. Brazil has the world's fourth largest reserves of the raw material used in nuclear power plants and weaponry.

Brazilian officials at the Minister of Science and Technology said they would allow IAEA inspectors in certain parts of the plant but not others to protect Brazilian innovations in uranium processing for fuel.

Henry Sokolski, head of the Washington-based Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, told Estado that IAEA officials harbor concerns that the source of the technology of (Brazilian) centrifuges was Kahn.

Some Brazilian scientists are outraged by the allegations that Brazil obtained the technology for its Resende plant from Pakistan.

It is absurd to speculate that Brazil had bought old concepts adopted by Pakistan when it has something superior at its disposal, said physicist Fernando Barros to Estado.
