Today, Brazil relies on nuclear energy for three per cent of its energy needs while hydroelectricity accounts for over sixty per cent. However, Brazilian officials sought to aggressively incorporate nuclear energy into the country’s energy infrastructure at any cost in the second half of the twentieth century. This article examines the connections between hydroelectric and nuclear energy development between 1960 and 1985. I argue that water resources, both shortages and excess capacity, were critical to Brazil’s nuclear energy pursuits. While scholarly attention has often focused on Brazil’s diplomatic negotiations and exploitation of the country’s uranium deposits, this article shows how droughts played a pivotal role in legitimising Brazil’s nuclear aspirations in the face of extensive hydroelectric capacity. In the process, both Brazil’s nuclear power plant and enrichment plant relied heavily on Brazilian water resources, fundamentally linking these two separate electricity sources in Brazil’s diversified energy grid to this day.

Using sources and contexts from early modern Korea, this article analyses how sylvan landscapes produced - and were produced by - the anxieties of forest administrators and rustic literati. First, through an examination of government records from the fifteenth century, this article argues that perceived threats to pine forests were critical to administrative expansion and the making of Korean landscapes. Recurrent anxieties about deforestation became embodied in the conservation of a single conifer, in turn producing the pine-dominant landscapes that are the lasting legacy of Chosn state forestry. Second, this article examines treatises of literati from the seventeenth to early nineteenth centuries to uncover how elite anxieties became embodied in the local management of sylvan landscapes. The East Asian practice of geomancy became a crucial tool of environmental modification for local elites facing socio-political change and diminishing power.
