Brazil denies differences with IAEA
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.

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.
