Resumo
Faced with the civil and military ambivalence of nuclear energy, its use by various
international actors has become synonymous not only with development tools, but also with
mistrust and global danger. In this context, Brazil had appeared to be a threat to international
security, for not signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1968, and for having a
nuclear program that sought to achieve full control of its fuel cycle since 1953. This work
aims to understand how the nuclear issue became a matter included in the 1988 Constitution, taking into account the different actors involved in this process, their performance and the interests that guided the acceptance or non-acceptance of the Brazilian nuclear program . The debate about the use of this technology reaches nuances that go beyond simple ideological and party questions, crossing a pretended "national interest", placed in a spectrum that can be understood from the Brazilian demand for technological capacity restricted to a club of powers until the possibility of imposing itself as a military agent with greater military power. Being placed as a sine qua non condition for the chance of Brazil to project itself as an influential country in the international system, the decision-making process regarding the acceptance of this type of energy in the 1988 Constitution runs through a complex international context. Thus, it is intended to contribute with the studies about the Brazilian nuclear program in the context of redemocratization. The work is based on the analysis of primary sources and the rich literature on the Brazilian nuclear program, on legislative behavior and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. As a conclusion, the thesis hypothesizes that the nuclear imaginary was an element belonging to the State project that was proposed in the 1987/1988 Constituent, considering Brazil as a nation that should be independent and technologically advanced compared to other countries.
