The Italian–Argentine cooperation in the nuclear field (1970–1974)
We Are Not a Nonproliferation Agency”
In the aftermath of India's first nuclear explosion in 1974, U.S. officials concluded that Brazil posed a growing proliferation risk, and they proposed to target Brazil with a new set of nonproliferation policies that included the denial of fuel-cycle technologies.

This article will analyse the origins of the Brazilian nuclear programme from 1951 to 1955 and will explore its…
