The Parallel Nuclear Program, officially the Autonomous Nuclear Technology Program, was a Brazilian initiative to master the technology of the nuclear fuel cycle, developed separately from the "official" nuclear program established by the Brazil–West Germany nuclear agreement and therefore "parallel". Established in 1979, during the military dictatorship, it involved the National Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN) and the ministries of the Navy, Army, and Air Force, under the coordination of a general secretariat linked to the president of Brazil. The PATN was created under secrecy and was immune to the international safeguards and inspections applied to the "official" program.
