A study of the peaceful nuclear export policies of
major foreign supplier nations indicated that the United States
faces in-zeased competition from foreign suppliers. The United
States and other supplier nations have reassessed their nuclear
export programs and established the Nuclear Supplieis Group.
Member nations have adopted some principles as a matter of
national policy of future nuclear exports. There are no required
international standar'ls for the physical protection of nuclear
material and equipment, and although foreign suppliers have
procedures for regulating nuclear exports, in tost cases they
have no independent regulatory agencies similar to the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Findings/Conclusions: In recent
years, the U.S. share of the available nuclear export market has
decreased markedly. U. S. suppliers received 851 of such orders
through 1972, but during the next - years the U.S. share dcopped
to 42%. France and West Germany are the leading foreign
suppliers of light-water reactors. Japan has a strong domestic
nuclear industry and the potential to beccme an important
nuclear exporter. Canada exports heavy-water reactors, heavy
water, and uranium. 7he British have becn much more successful
in the field of nuclear fuel services than in the export of
reactors. Among the principles adopted by naticns comprising the
Nuclear Suppliers Group are: to apply International Atomic
Energy Agency safeguards to exports; to prohibit recipients
using assistance for any nuclear explosions; tc require physical
security measures by recipients on nuclear equipment and
materials; to encourage multinational regional facilities for
reprocessing and enrichment; and to take special care in the use](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaawbb0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
