...transaction, this may well be the atom deal of the century, as many West German businessmen boast. But it has ominous implications for international stability. Endowed with plentiful uranium and thorium deposits, Brazil could use the enrichment plant not only to obtain a concentration of radioactive isotopes sufficient to fuel a nuclear power station, but also to produce the higher concentrations required for bombs...

All other nations must come to these powers for nuclear fuel for reactors. Washington pointed out that U.S. firms are strictly prohibited from selling enrichment plants abroad; Brazil, in fact, would like to have bought the full cycle from U.S. manufacturers but was unable to because...
