Title: US-Euratom Nuclear Cooperation Agreement: The eleventh hour

Journal Article · · Nuclear Review
OSTI ID:513379

Issues involved in negotiations between the United States and Euratom for renewing the Nuclear Cooperation Agreement are discussed. The Agreement impacts exports to Euratom countries of nuclear material and technology, and US approval of third party transfers of US-origin material, including Japanese reprocessing, to Euratom countries. The US Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act, requiring more stringent safeguards for US-origin materials, is described as a major issue preventing Euratom countries signing the Agreement. Potential impacts of allowing the Agreement to lapse are described, and actions required for renewal are outlined.
