TITLE 22 - FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
CHAPTER 47 - NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION
-HEAD-
Sec. 3201. Congressional declaration of policy
-STATUTE-
The Congress finds and declares that the proliferation of nuclear
explosive devices or of the direct capability to manufacture or
otherwise acquire such devices poses a grave threat to the security
interests of the United States and to continued international
progress toward world peace and development. Recent events
emphasize the urgency of this threat and the imperative need to
increase the effectiveness of international safeguards and controls
on peaceful nuclear activities to prevent proliferation.
Accordingly, it is the policy of the United States to -
(a) actively pursue through international initiatives
mechanisms for fuel supply assurances and the establishment of
more effective international controls over the transfer and use
of nuclear materials and equipment and nuclear technology for
peaceful purposes in order to prevent proliferation, including
the establishment of common international sanctions;
(b) take such actions as are required to confirm the
reliability of the United States in meeting its commitments to
supply nuclear reactors and fuel to nations which adhere to
effective non-proliferation policies by establishing procedures
to facilitate the timely processing of requests for subsequent
arrangements and export licenses;
(c) strongly encourage nations which have not ratified the
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to do so at
the earliest possible date; and
(d) cooperate with foreign nations in identifying and adapting
suitable technologies for energy production and, in particular,
to identify alternative options to nuclear power in aiding such
nations to meet their energy needs, consistent with the economic
and material resources of those nations and environmental
protection.

appropriate, with a view toward the timely establishment of binding
international undertakings providing for -
(1) the establishment of an international nuclear fuel
authority (INFA) with responsibility for providing agreed upon
fuel services and allocating agreed upon quantities of fuel
resources to ensure fuel supply on reasonable terms in accordance
with agreements between INFA and supplier and recipient nations;
(2) a set of conditions consistent with subsection (d) of this
section under which international fuel assurances under INFA
auspices will be provided to recipient nations, including
conditions which will ensure that the transferred materials will
not be used for nuclear explosive devices;
(3) devising, consistent with the policy goals set forth in
section 2153b of title 42, feasible and environmentally sound
approaches for the siting, development, and management under
effective international auspices and inspection of facilities for
the provision of nuclear fuel services, including the storage of
special nuclear material;
(4) the establishment of repositories for the storage of spent

CODIFICATION
Subsec. (b) of this section, directed the President to submit to
Congress not later than six months after Mar. 10, 1978, proposals
for initial fuel assurances, including creation of an interim
stockpile of uranium enriched to less than 20 percent in the
uranium isotope 235 (low-enriched uranium) to be available for
transfer pursuant to a sales arrangement to nations which adhere to
strict policies designed to prevent proliferation when and if
necessary to ensure continuity of nuclear fuel supply to such
nations, which submission was to include proposals for the transfer
of low-enriched uranium up to an amount sufficient to produce
100,000 MWe years of power from light water nuclear reactors, and
also to include proposals for seeking contributions from other
supplier nations to such an interim stockpile pending the
establishment of INFA.
Subsec. (c) of this section, which directed the President, in the
