Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has announced that he wants to develop a nuclear programme with the aid of his country's ally, Russia.
Mr Chavez emphasised that he wanted nuclear power only for peaceful ends, citing energy and medical purposes.
But the announcement, on top of large weapons purchases, is likely to feed growing concern about the increasing Venezuelan military power.
Venezuela has spent $4bn on Russian arms and plans to buy more from China.
