Brazil set to get nuclear green light
Brazil says it has won approval from the United Nations nuclear watchdog to start enriching uranium at its Resende plant.
Following months of disagreement over international inspections of the installation, Science and Technology Minister Eduardo Campos said on Thursday the Resende plant would start processing before the end of the year.
Campos added the move would put Brazil one step closer to fully mastering nuclear technology for peaceful use.
Agreement appears to have been reached with the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) based on the agency's verification of the plant's design.
But IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said: "We are still in the process of completing our assessment of the inspection approach for the Resende plant."
Privately, however, European diplomats close to the IAEA have told journalists that a deal appears to be very close and may be concluded in a week.
Sensitive issue
The main sticking point in the negotiations between Brazil and the agency has been about a system to inspect the plant.
Brazil has insisted it would not give IAEA inspectors full visual access to the plants' centrifuges and to its technological know-how.
