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.

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
