Limiting nuclear proliferation
As a result of the 1977 experience, it is shown that the U.S. no longer dominates the world nuclear market and must change its approach from coercion to persuasion. President Carter, implementing his campaign promises on nuclear nonproliferation, has used direct pressure, negotiated with nuclear suppliers, and asked for legislation to impose rigid criteria for the export of nuclear materials. Unilateral actions included the deferment of facilities for fuel reprocessing and breeder reactors, but were followed by efforts for international cooperation as the year progressed. While global non-proliferation policies reinforced with international technical cooperation are seen as admirable goals, the response to U.S. initiatives is not seen to be encouraging.
