Brazil is interested in small nuclear reactors made by Russian state energy firm Rosatom, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said on Wednesday during a visit to Moscow that was overshadowed by international fears of a conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Bolsonaro snubbed U.S. calls to call off the trip, which coincided with intense Western diplomatic efforts to dissuade Russian President Vladimir Putin from invading his neighbor. Russia has denied it is planning an invasion.
"Our corporation is ready to participate in construction of new power units in Brazil, including low-capacity nuclear power plants, both on land and in floating versions," Putin said, touting Russia's small reactor technology. Both Macron and Scholz were kept further away due to their unwillingness to take Russian COVID-19 tests before their meetings with Putin. Bolsonaro, on the other hand, took the Russian test, his office confirmed.
