Brazil goes nuclear

Brazil isn't Iran, but they now have something in common: "[It] has joined the select group of countries with the capability of enriching uranium as a means of generating energy."

Thankfully, "Brazil and the IAEA [have] agreed [to] a system of safeguards to ensure that the new facilities would not be channelled into weapons production." But not before some Iran-like tension: "Keen to protect its commercial secrets, Brazil was reluctant to give inspectors full access to its facilities and politically the negotiations were complicated by simultaneous concerns about Iran's nuclear plans."
