RUSSIAN NUCLEAR FOR BRAZIL
N- May 14, 2025 - Russia’s Joint Institute of Nuclear Research (OIYaI – Obedinennii Institut Yadernikh Issledovanii) and the Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation of the Federal Republic of Brazil (MCTI – Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) strengthening co-operation in fundamental and applied scientific research.
The agreement envisages the establishment of a Joint Coordinating Committee (JCC) at a high government level to establish a structured method of selecting and implementing collaborative projects, particularly those that involve using the large research infrastructure of OIYaI and Brazil to achieve the national goals of scientific and technological development of Brazil and OIYaI member states.
The signing of the memorandum was the result of ongoing joint work between the Institute and Brazilian scientific organisations. In February 2024 an MCTI delegation visited OIYaI, and in May 2024 OIYaI employees travelled to a number of scientific organisations and universities of Brazil. In 2024, cooperation agreements were signed with the National Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN – Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear), the Federal University of Southern and the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. An agreement with the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul will be concluded this May. Representatives of Brazilian organizations are members of the JINR Advisory Bodies: the Scientific Council and the Programme Advisory Committee for Nuclear Physics.

BRAZIL NEED URANIUM
According to World Nuclear Association, exploration in the 1970s and 1980s showed that Brazil has reasonably assured resources of 210,000 tonnes of uranium. However, there has been little investment in exploration since the mid-1980s.
