摘要

Carlos Feu Alvim;Leonam dos Santos Guimaraes; In the international community today, there is no real concern about the non peaceful use of nuclear energy in South America. Twenty years ago, the situation in Brazil and Argentina was very different. Military regimes were still a recent memory, and both countries had secretive nuclear power initiatives. Brazil and Argentina had not enforced the 1967 Latin American prohibition of nuclear weapons treaty of Tlatelolco, they allowed nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes, they had not signed the 1968 non-proliferation treaty, and had no comprehensive IAEA safeguards agreements.
