Rosatom's Uranium One Group and Nucleo Brasil Energia Participações have signed an agreement to establish a joint venture to implement critical mineral exploration and extraction projects in Brazil.
 

The Santa Quitéria Project is expected to produce about 2,300 tonnes of uranium concentrate per year, as part of Brazil's plan to become self-sufficient in nuclear fuel production.
 

Indústrias Nucleares do Brasil is preparing for the final phase of testing for fuel rods to be used in the development of Brazil's national microreactor project.
 

Argentina's Nuclear Regulatory Authority and Brazil's Naval Secretariat for Nuclear Safety and Quality aim to develop regulation relating to the use of nuclear reactors on ships.
 

Argentina aims to become self-sufficient and an exporter of radioisotopes when the RA-10 multipurpose reactor is operating, while Brazil says construction of its similar facility is due to start in the first half of 2026.
 

What was achieved at COP30 - the 30th UN Climate Change Conference, held in Belém, Brazil - and what role did nuclear energy play? Here's an assessment from Jonathan Cobb, World Nuclear Association Senior Programme Lead, Climate.
 

A Request for Information has been launched by Brazil's National Bank for Economic and Social Development for consulting firms interested in participating in the structuring of Indústrias Nucleares do Brasil's uranium production expansion project.
 

A memorandum of understanding aimed at strengthening their existing partnership and nuclear environmental protection and radioactive waste management in Brazil has been signed by the country's National Nuclear Energy Commission and China National Nuclear Corporation Overseas Ltd.
 

The National Nuclear Energy Commission says that a preferred site has been selected and the aim is for the Centena radioactive waste repository to be completed by 2030.
