A truck carrying nuclear fuel to one of Brazil's power plants has come under attack by a group of armed men who engaged in a shootout with police officers guarding the convoy.
The uranium shipment came under attack on Tuesday in the town of Frade, about 30 km (19 miles) from Angra dos Reis, where the Angra 2 nuclear power plant is located. Following an intense fire exchange with the gunmen, the officers, none of whom were injured, managed to thwart the assault, police said.

Eletronuclear, the Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras SA subsidiary that manages the Angra 2 nuclear plant, emphasized that the incident did not cause any delays to the uranium delivery. The company also cast doubt that the attackers intended to hijack the cargo, claiming that local criminal turf battles could be to blame – and that the convoy was caught in the middle of the shootout.

The attack took place when vehicle traffic was stopped at a train crossing, but whether the raiders indeed had intended to steal the uranium shipment has yet to be determined. Civil Police are now trying to establish the motive behind the incident. The attackers have managed to flee the scene, but police have recovered a 9mm pistol which they are now trying to trace back to the armed group.

A convoy of trucks carrying nuclear fuel came under armed attack on a highway in Rio de Janeiro state on Tuesday as it drove past a community controlled by a drug gang. Gang members armed with rifles opened fire on the convoy, Rio’s O Globo newspaper said.
Armed police escorting the convoy exchanged fire with armed gang members as the trucks carrying uranium continued to a nearby nuclear plant. The attack is the latest of several violent incidents in the area where Brazil has two nuclear reactors and has raised concerns about its nuclear security in a state struggling with high levels of violent crime.
The attack happened as the convoy passed the Frade community around noon near the tourist town of Angra dos Reis in the Green Coast (Costa Verde), around 200km from Rio de Janeiro. It reached the Angra 2 nuclear plant less than half an hour later, Brazil’s nuclear agency said.

The attack happened in the same area and on the same highway where the British tourist Eloise Dixon was shot and wounded in 2017 after her family’s hire car accidentally drove into another gang-run community, Água Santa. Last year an armed gang blew up two cash machines in a condominium for nuclear workers just a kilometre from the two plants, which provide around 3% of Brazil’s power.

Brazil’s government-run nuclear agency Eletronuclear said in a statement the uranium was in a “natural state” and would not have harmed the population as it had the same level of radioactivity as when it is found in nature. Police took position on the edge of the highway when shots were heard at around noon as the convoy passed an area where a gunfight was taking place, Eletronuclear said. The company said the convoy had happened to pass an area where a gunfight was happening and was not attacked.

Typically, such convoys have around five or six trucks and are escorted by regular police and motorbike outriders from Brazil’s Federal Highway police, the Eletronuclear spokesman Marco Antonio Alves told the Guardian. It was carrying uranium fuel to supply the Angra 2 nuclear power plant, which began operating in 2001.

However, a spokeswoman for the Federal Highway police in Rio said in a statement the convoy had come under fire.

“During an escort mission near the Frade community armed individuals opened fire on Federal Highway Police teams, who reacted,” she said. “The escort team continued normally. Nobody was arrested or injured. During the exchange of shots, the criminals let a pistol magazine containing 12 9mm bullets fall, which was seized by the team.”

Marco Antonio Alves said the convoy had happened to pass Frade as a gunfight was taking place.

“There was a conflict, there was a gunfight in this community called Frade, the police took position and the convoy continued. Some police stayed behind and exchanged shots,” he said. “What happened was a coincidence.”

The uranium was being transported from Resende in Rio de Janeiro state where it is fabricated in special metal containers, he said.

“We are very worried. Eletronuclear has actioned the federal government for more security. But this is a very complex problem,” he said.

In recent years low-income communities around Angra dos Reis like Frade have been taken over by armed drug gangs from Rio de Janeiro, including the notoriously violent Red Command (Comando Vermelho).

A rival Rio gang, the Third Pure Command (Terceiro Comando Puro) also disputes some territory with the Red Command.

“Frade has a lot of armed vagabonds from Rio,” said Thimoteo de Sá, a retired police lieutenant and councillor from Angra dos Reis who presides over its security commission, adding that the Red Command control the community. “The population of Frade are shaken.”

“This region now has a lot of problems it didn’t have a few years ago,” Alves said. “I believe something will change because of this but it is very soon to say what kind of modification will be made.”

Brazilian Nuclear Plant Uranium Convoy Attacked by Armed Men: Police
By Reuters

RIO DE JANEIRO — Armed men shot at members of a convoy transporting uranium to one of Brazil's two working nuclear power plants on a coastal road in Rio de Janeiro state on Tuesday, police and the company managing the plant said.
They said the truck carrying the nuclear fuel and its police escort came under attack when it was passing by the town of Frade, about 30 km (19 miles) from Angra dos Reis, where the reactor is located.
Policemen guarding the convoy returned the attackers' fire, police said. They said there were no injuries or arrests and the armed men fled.
Eletronuclear, the Centrais El??tricas Brasileiras SA subsidiary that manages the Angra nuclear plants, said in a statement that the uranium being transported was not dangerous and that the shipment was not delayed by the attack.
It said the incident occurred when police escorting the truck fanned out alongside the road as a precautionary measure after hearing nearby gunshots. The armed men then started firing on some of the heavily armed "shock battalion" accompanying the shipment, Eletronuclear said.
The nuclear fuel used in the two reactors in Brazil, Angra 1 and Angra 2, is produced in a government installation in Resende, a city in the interior of Rio de Janeiro state located 130 km (80.78 miles) from Angra dos Reis.
Brazil only processes uranium to be used as fuel for power plants, under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Brazilian militants fled after intense fighting with police over nuclear fuel robbery

Nuclear Reactor 2 of Angra Nuclear Power Station (Russian Satellite Network)
Overseas Network, March 20 - In the afternoon of 19 local time, a group of Brazilian armed men attacked a truck carrying uranium fuel. Police escorting the truck exchanged fire with the armed men, who then fled.
According to Russian satellite network news, the attack took place in the town of Fred, about 30 kilometers from the No. 2 nuclear reactor of the Angra nuclear power plant. Police said they held on to nuclear fuel after a fierce exchange of fire with the militants, causing no casualties.
At present, the police are investigating the motives behind the attack. The attackers had fled the scene, but police found a 9mm pistol, hoping to use it to track down armed groups.
Authorities responsible for the management of the Angra 2 reactor said that the delivery of uranium fuel would not be delayed, but they believed that the attack should be related to nearby gangs and expressed concern about security in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant.
It is understood that Angra Nuclear Power Station is the only nuclear power plant in Brazil. The plant, located in Angra, Rio de Janeiro, contains two pressurized water reactors. First, the net output of Angra 1, which opened in 1985, is 657 MW, while Angra 2, which opened in 2000, has a net output of 1 350 MW.
