Sec. 6301. Imposition of procurement sanction on persons engaging
in export activities that contribute to proliferation
-STATUTE-
(a) Determination by President
(1) In general
Except as provided in subsection (b)(2) of this section, the
President shall impose the sanction described in subsection (c)
of this section if the President determines in writing that, on
or after the effective date of this subchapter, a foreign person
or a United States person has materially and with requisite
knowledge contributed, through the export from the United States
or any other country of any goods or technology (as defined in
section 6305(2) of this title), to the efforts by any individual,
group, or non-nuclear-weapon state to acquire unsafeguarded
special nuclear material or to use, develop, produce, stockpile,
or otherwise acquire any nuclear explosive device.
(2) Persons against which the sanction is to be imposed
The sanction shall be imposed pursuant to paragraph (1) on -
(A) the foreign person or United States person with respect
to which the President makes the determination described in
that paragraph;
(B) any successor entity to that foreign person or United
States person;
(C) any foreign person or United States person that is a
parent or subsidiary of that person if that parent or
subsidiary materially and with requisite knowledge assisted in
the activities which were the basis of that determination; and
(D) any foreign person or United States person that is an
affiliate of that person if that affiliate materially and with
requisite knowledge assisted in the activities which were the
basis of that determination and if that affiliate is controlled
in fact by that person.
(3) Other sanctions available
The sanction which is required to be imposed for activities
described in this subsection is in addition to any other sanction
which may be imposed for the same activities under any other
provision of law.
(4) Definition
For purposes of this subsection, the term "requisite knowledge"
means situations in which a person "knows", as "knowing" is
defined in section 78dd-2 of title 15.
(b) Consultation with and actions by foreign government of
jurisdiction
(1) Consultations
If the President makes a determination described in subsection
(a)(1) of this section with respect to a foreign person, the
Congress urges the President to initiate consultations
immediately with the government with primary jurisdiction over
that foreign person with respect to the imposition of the
sanction pursuant to this section.
(2) Actions by government of jurisdiction
In order to pursue such consultations with that government, the
President may delay imposition of the sanction pursuant to this
section for up to 90 days. Following these consultations, the
President shall impose the sanction unless the President
determines and certifies in writing to the Congress that that
government has taken specific and effective actions, including
appropriate penalties, to terminate the involvement of the
foreign person in the activities described in subsection (a)(1)
of this section. The President may delay the imposition of the
sanction for up to an additional 90 days if the President
determines and certifies in writing to the Congress that that
government is in the process of taking the actions described in
the preceding sentence.
(3) Report to Congress
Not later than 90 days after making a determination under
subsection (a)(1) of this section, the President shall submit to
the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on
Governmental Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign
Affairs of the House of Representatives a report on the status of
consultations with the appropriate government under this
subsection, and the basis for any determination under paragraph
(2) of this subsection that such government has taken specific
corrective actions.
(c) Sanction
(1) Description of sanction
The sanction to be imposed pursuant to subsection (a)(1) of
this section is, except as provided in paragraph (2) of this
subsection, that the United States Government shall not procure,
or enter into any contract for the procurement of, any goods or
services from any person described in subsection (a)(2) of this
section.
(2) Exceptions
The President shall not be required to apply or maintain the
sanction under this section -
(A) in the case of procurement of defense articles or defense
services -
(i) under existing contracts or subcontracts, including the
exercise of options for production quantities to satisfy
requirements essential to the national security of the United
States;
(ii) if the President determines in writing that the person
or other entity to which the sanction would otherwise be
applied is a sole source supplier of the defense articles or
services, that the defense articles or services are
essential, and that alternative sources are not readily or
reasonably available; or
(iii) if the President determines in writing that such
articles or services are essential to the national security
under defense coproduction agreements;
(B) to products or services provided under contracts entered
into before the date on which the President publishes his
intention to impose the sanction;
(C) to -
(i) spare parts which are essential to United States
products or production;
(ii) component parts, but not finished products, essential
to United States products or production; or
(iii) routine servicing and maintenance of products, to the
extent that alternative sources are not readily or reasonably
available;
(D) to information and technology essential to United States
products or production; or
(E) to medical or other humanitarian items.
(d) Advisory opinions
Upon the request of any person, the Secretary of State may, in
consultation with the Secretary of Defense, issue in writing an
advisory opinion to that person as to whether a proposed activity
by that person would subject that person to the sanction under this
section. Any person who relies in good faith on such an advisory
opinion which states that the proposed activity would not subject a
person to such sanction, and any person who thereafter engages in
such activity, may not be made subject to such sanction on account
of such activity.
(e) Termination of sanction
The sanction imposed pursuant to this section shall apply for a
period of at least 12 months following the imposition of the
sanction and shall cease to apply thereafter only if the President
determines and certifies in writing to the Congress that -
(1) reliable information indicates that the foreign person or
United States person with respect to which the determination was
made under subsection (a)(1) of this section has ceased to aid or
abet any individual, group, or non-nuclear-weapon state in its
efforts to acquire unsafeguarded special nuclear material or any
nuclear explosive device, as described in that subsection; and
(2) the President has received reliable assurances from the
foreign person or United States person, as the case may be, that
such person will not, in the future, aid or abet any individual,
group, or non-nuclear-weapon state in its efforts to acquire
unsafeguarded special nuclear material or any nuclear explosive
device, as described in subsection (a)(1) of this section.
(f) Waiver
(1) Criterion for waiver
The President may waive the application of the sanction imposed
on any person pursuant to this section, after the end of the
12-month period beginning on the date on which that sanction was
imposed on that person, if the President determines and certifies
in writing to the Congress that the continued imposition of the
sanction would have a serious adverse effect on vital United
States interests.
(2) Notification of and report to Congress
If the President decides to exercise the waiver authority
provided in paragraph (1), the President shall so notify the
Congress not less than 20 days before the waiver takes effect.
Such notification shall include a report fully articulating the
rationale and circumstances which led the President to exercise
the waiver authority.

Sec. 6321. Bilateral and multilateral initiatives
-STATUTE-
It is the sense of the Congress that in order to maintain and
enhance international confidence in the effectiveness of IAEA
safeguards and in other multilateral undertakings to halt the
global proliferation of nuclear weapons, the United States should
seek to negotiate with other nations and groups of nations,
including the IAEA Board of Governors and the Nuclear Suppliers
Group, to -
(1) build international support for the principle that nuclear
supply relationships must require purchasing nations to agree to
full-scope international safeguards;
(2) encourage each nuclear-weapon state within the meaning of
the Treaty to undertake a comprehensive review of its own
procedures for declassifying information relating to the design
or production of nuclear explosive devices and to investigate any
measures that would reduce the risk of such information
contributing to nuclear weapons proliferation;
(3) encourage the deferral of efforts to produce weapons-grade
nuclear material for large-scale commercial uses until such time
as safeguards are developed that can detect, on a timely and
reliable basis, the diversion of significant quantities of such
material for nuclear explosive purposes;
(4) pursue greater financial support for the implementation and
improvement of safeguards from all IAEA member nations with
significant nuclear programs, particularly from those nations
that are currently using or planning to use weapons-grade nuclear
material for commercial purposes;
(5) arrange for the timely payment of annual financial
contributions by all members of the IAEA, including the United
States;
(6) pursue the elimination of international commerce in highly
enriched uranium for use in research reactors while encouraging
multilateral cooperation to develop and to use low-enriched
alternative nuclear fuels;
(7) oppose efforts by non-nuclear-weapon states to develop or
use unsafeguarded nuclear fuels for purposes of naval propulsion;
(8) pursue an international open skies arrangement that would
authorize the IAEA to operate surveillance aircraft and would
facilitate IAEA access to satellite information for safeguards
verification purposes;
(9) develop an institutional means for IAEA member nations to
share intelligence material with the IAEA on possible safeguards
violations without compromising national security or intelligence
sources or methods;
(10) require any exporter of a sensitive nuclear facility or
sensitive nuclear technology to a non-nuclear-weapon state to
notify the IAEA prior to export and to require safeguards over
that facility or technology, regardless of its destination; and
(11) seek agreement among the parties to the Treaty to apply
IAEA safeguards in perpetuity and to establish new limits on the
right to withdraw from the Treaty.

Sec. 6322. IAEA internal reforms
-STATUTE-
In order to promote the early adoption of reforms in the
implementation of the safeguards responsibilities of the IAEA, the
Congress urges the President to negotiate with other nations and
groups of nations, including the IAEA Board of Governors and the
Nuclear Suppliers Group, to -
(1) improve the access of the IAEA within nuclear facilities
that are capable of producing, processing, or fabricating special
nuclear material suitable for use in a nuclear explosive device;
(2)(A) facilitate the IAEA's efforts to meet and to maintain
its own goals for detecting the diversion of nuclear materials
and equipment, giving particular attention to facilities in which
there are bulk quantities of plutonium; and
(B) if it is not technically feasible for the IAEA to meet
those detection goals in a particular facility, require the IAEA
to declare publicly that it is unable to do so;
(3) enable the IAEA to issue fines for violations of safeguards
procedures, to pay rewards for information on possible safeguards
violations, and to establish a "hot line" for the reporting of
such violations and other illicit uses of weapons-grade nuclear
material;
(4) establish safeguards at facilities engaged in the
manufacture of equipment or material that is especially
designated or prepared for the processing, use, or production of
special fissionable material or, in the case of
non-nuclear-weapon states, of any nuclear explosive device;
(5) establish safeguards over nuclear research and development
activities and facilities;
(6) implement special inspections of undeclared nuclear
facilities, as provided for under existing safeguards procedures,
and seek authority for the IAEA to conduct challenge inspections
on demand at suspected nuclear sites;
(7) expand the scope of safeguards to include tritium, uranium
concentrates, and nuclear waste containing special fissionable
material, and increase the scope of such safeguards on heavy
water;
(8) revise downward the IAEA's official minimum amounts of
nuclear material ("significant quantity") needed to make a
nuclear explosive device and establish these amounts as national
rather than facility standards;
(9) expand the use of full-time resident IAEA inspectors at
sensitive fuel cycle facilities;
(10) promote the use of near real time material accountancy in
the conduct of safeguards at facilities that use, produce, or
store significant quantities of special fissionable material;
(11) develop with other IAEA member nations an agreement on
procedures to expedite approvals of visa applications by IAEA
inspectors;
(12) provide the IAEA the additional funds, technical
assistance, and political support necessary to carry out the
goals set forth in this subsection; (!1) and
(13) make public the annual safeguards implementation report of
the IAEA, establishing a public registry of commodities in
international nuclear commerce, including dual-use goods, and
creating a public repository of current nuclear trade control
laws, agreements, regulations, and enforcement and judicial
actions by IAEA member nations.
