Witnesses addressing the implications of expanding US nuclear trade with China included representatives of DOE, the Office of Technology Assessment, the Departments of State and Commerce, Library of Congress, and the Arms Control Agency. The purpose of the hearing was to seek a balanced approach between those who see expanded nuclear trade as a solution to the malaise of the US nuclear industry and the US balance of payments deficit and those who project the potential market at only five reactors at three sites. Among the topics raised were safeguards agreements and the impact on non-proliferation policy, the legal aspects of a nuclear cooperation agreement, and the possibility that nuclear trade might open up other areas for cooperation and trade. Additional material submitted by DOE, the State Department, and the Library of Congress follows the testimony of the 11 witnesses.
