Nuclear energy was an element of discussions between the Presidents of France and Brazil when they met earlier this month. The two countries signed an agreement whereby France would cooperate as Brazil develops nuclear propulsion systems for military submarines. In addition, France's Areva signed memorandums with Eletronuclear on a "commitment to working together to extend Brazil's nuclear fleet." Brazil plans to build eight new reactors by 2030 as well as complete the construction of the long-stalled Angra 3.
