The Brazilian government denied recently differences with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over the technology used to produce enriched uranium in the plant of Resende, Rio de Janeiro.

Brazilian Science and Technology Minister Eduardo Campos told the press it was only a "process of negotiations that we see with much tranquillity and good purposes."

Campos said the Brazilian society was becoming more and more aware of the importance of the government's position on the nuclear issue.

"We must respect the people who, for the past 20 years, have paid with taxes and also financed the investigation and construction of fuel factories and nuclear energy producing plants," he said.

The Brazilian minister said the nuclear program was one of the axis of the resumed path of development, not only for the energy it produced but also for the different technologies that include the production of medicines.

Campos attended a ceremony held at Resende, Rio de Janeiro, to commemorate the thousandth fuel element that will generate energy at Angra dos Reis nuclear plant.
