Highlights

Although nuclear power can lead to energy independence, it also holds the threat of nuclear weapons proliferation. In an effort to curtail such proliferation, legislation has been proposed which will exact stricter export controls and safeguards on actions affecting uranium enrichment services, reprocessing, storing of spent fuel, and disposing of radioactive nuclear wastes. Although the policy is generally constructive, some weaknesses were noted.
