Abstract: More than a year passes from the beginning of industrial scale
enrichment in Brazil. The issue was faced with opposition on the
international scene, but Brazil finally managed to reach the sensitive
enrichment technology without creating tensions with the international
community. Certain experts compare the Brazilian issue with Iran and claim
that Brazil’s actions can serve as a possible role model for the Islamic
Republic of Iran's attempts to maintain national fuel cycle. This brings about
a good example for a comparative approach to this case which indicates the
dual standard of some Western states towards civilian use of nuclear energy
by developing countries.
