During the last dictatorships in South America, Brazil and Argentina were in a bit of an arms race.
One day, the Brazilian government created a nuclear program that over the course of several years managed to enrich some nanograms of uranium. The Argentinian gov started their own program as a response.
When both countries published their data, the Argentinians had plenty of spying documents saying that the Brazilian program had incredibly security, they could only discover a small lab and some people digging missile silos.
(And yeah, the Argentinians managed to enrich milligrams of uranium, beating Brazil by 2 orders of magnitude.)
