ADVOCACY INITIATIVE
Committee for the Resumption of the Brazilian Nuclear Program
Non-partisan, yet unequivocally committed to the national development project, the CRPN positions itself as a collective space for qualified deliberation and critical confrontation of attempts to denationalize, dismantle, or externally subordinate the Brazilian nuclear sector. As an internal commission of the BRICS Tech Forum, the CRPN intends to operate as a hub of strategic intelligence, integrating the Brazilian nuclear debate into the international dynamics of sovereign technological cooperation.
ABOUT
The Civil Committee for the Resumption of the Brazilian Nuclear Program (CRPN) is a strategic initiative of organized civil society aimed at rebuilding, strengthening, and projecting the national nuclear program as a sovereign state policy. Based on the unwavering defense of technological sovereignty, multipolarity, and industrial-based scientific development, the CRPN affirms nuclear energy as an indispensable asset for energy security, meeting climate goals, and advancing medicine, industry, and national defense. Its horizon is the long term, its reference point is the national interest, and its actions are anchored in the articulation between technical-scientific knowledge, personnel training, and strategic application.
The CRPN (National Committee for Nuclear Research) is currently undergoing institutional and political development, structuring itself as an internal committee of the BRICS Tech Forum, embedded in a multipolar ecosystem of technological cooperation among the BRICS+ countries and the Global South. Within this framework, the Committee aims to act as a permanent body for the formulation, debate, advocacy, and proposal of public policies, bringing together experts, researchers, nuclear sector workers, legal professionals, and representatives of civil society. Non-partisan, yet unequivocally committed to the national development project, the CRPN positions itself as a collective space for qualified deliberation and critical confrontation of attempts at denationalization, dismantling, or external subordination of the Brazilian nuclear sector.
As an internal committee of the BRICS Tech Forum, the CRPN aims to operate as a strategic intelligence hub, integrating the Brazilian nuclear debate into the international dynamics of sovereign technological cooperation. Its objective is to contribute to the full resumption of the Brazilian Nuclear Program, from electricity generation to research reactors, from the fuel cycle to medical, industrial, and defense applications, linking Brazil to a new global architecture based on horizontal cooperation, real technology transfer, and the building of autonomous capabilities. The CRPN is therefore born as a political and technical instrument for asserting national sovereignty in the 21st century and as an organized expression of the conviction that there is no independent development without full mastery of nuclear technology.
Towards a nuclear future.
For Brazil.
