US embassy cable - 05BRASILIA289

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(SBU) According to Ministry of External Relations (MRE) 
Disarmament and Sensitive Technologies (DDS) Division Chief 
Santiago Mourao, the IAEA has granted its okay for 
commissioning of the Resende uranium enrichment facility. 
The commissioning will take place after operational testing 
to begin in mid-February.  Mourao believed that when 
operational, Resende would not be enriching fuel up to the 
levels allowed by the IAEA.  Mourao noted that there were 
still small technical details that needed to be worked out 
between the GOB and the IAEA, for example, the issue of cost 
sharing.
