NPIHP is pleased to announce the publication of two new Research Updates, These are the most recent joint Fundacao Getulio Vargas-NPIHP publications on various aspects of Brazilian nuclear history.
Today's releases document Brazil's earliest efforts, dating to the late 1960s, to cooperate with Argentina on nuclear issues, as well as South Africa's attempt in the late 1970s to work with Brazil on nuclear technology development. In both instances technical cooperation was derailed by larger, non-nuclear political issues.
