Nuclear technology in Brazil
Keywords
Abstract
The electrical energy obtained through nuclear fission appeared in the 20th century, for military reasons, being used in the second world war. Years later, with a lot of bureaucracy, technology arrived in Brazil. The country has one of the largest sources of uranium in the world, an element used in the manufacture of fuel from nuclear plants. Currently, Brazil has two nuclear power plants and is moving towards the end of the third. In these plants, enriched uranium pellets are produced and few of them supply families for months.
