Eight congruent copies of the parabola \( y = x^2 \) are arranged symmetrically around a circle such that each vertex is tangent to the circle, and each parabola is tangent to its two neighbors. Find the radius of the circle. Assume that one of the tangents to the parabolas corresponds to the line \( y = x \tan(45^\circ) \).
