I understand France is helping Brazil build a nuclear submarine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_submarine_%C3%81lvaro_Alberto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_submarine_%C3%81lvar... Did that get an exception? Seems strange France could get that for Brazil but not Australia.

Brazil has multiple civilian nuclear reactors in operations. Australia has no significant nuclear expertise. France would probably have preferred selling nuclear submarines because it would have saved on retrofitting cost.
