【 摘 要 】

This article covers the historical and current similarities between Brazil and India regarding the non-war uses of nuclear energy. Considering the information highlighted in the analysis of their trajectory, this study then investigates whether Brazil could learn from the Indian experience and, if so, what these lessons would be. After the analysis, the conclusion is that given the profound differences between the current Brazilian and the Indian nuclear programs, Brazil’s adequacy to a possible “Indian model” does not seem achievable. Among the differences identified, there is the divergence regarding the political interest in prioritizing nuclear energy, something that India does. Without a proper emphasis of a topic on a country’s political agenda, no public policies can be designed for the sector. As for nuclear agenda, not covering the issue as a state policy has profound implications since it ultimately compromises the training of human capital and technological advancement.
