SEC. 3635. TELLER-KURCHATOV ALLIANCE FOR PEACE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) Edward Teller of the United States and 
Igor Kurchatov of the former Soviet Union were ar-
chitects of the nuclear weapons programs in their re-
spective countries; 
(2) these outstanding individuals both expressed 
a longing for peace and opposition to war; and 
(3) as the United States and the Russian Fed-
eration work together to redirect the nations of the 
world towards the peaceful use of nuclear energy, 
seeking to improve the quality of life for all human 
beings, it is appropriate to establish an alliance for 
peace in the names of Edward Teller and Igor 
Kurchatov. 
(b) TELLER-KURCHATOV ALLIANCE FOR PEACE.—
(1) To the extent that the Secretary of Energy considers 
prudent, the Secretary shall seek to enter into an agree-
ment with the Minister of Atomic Energy of the Russian 
Federation to carry out a cooperative venture, to be known 
as the Teller-Kurchatov Alliance for Peace, to develop and
718

promote peaceful, safe, and environmentally sensitive uses 
of nuclear energy. 
(2) The cooperative venture referred to in paragraph 
(1) shall involve the national security laboratories of the 
National Nuclear Security Administration and the labora-
tories of the Ministry of Atomic Energy and the 
Kurchatov Institute of the Russian Federation. 
(3) The cooperative venture shall be directed by two 
co-chairs, one each from the United States and the Rus-
sian Federation. The co-chair from the United States shall 
serve for a term of two years and shall be designated by 
the Administrator for Nuclear Security from among offi-
cials of the three national security laboratories, with each 
laboratory represented on a rotating basis.

Kurchatov Institute of the Russian Federation and Law-
rence Livermore National Laboratory, international ex-
change fellowships, to be known as Teller-Kurchatov Fel-
lowships, in the nuclear nonproliferation sciences. 
(2) The purpose of the program shall be to provide 
opportunities for advancement in the field of nuclear non-
719
HR 1588 RDS 
proliferation to scientists who, as demonstrated by their 
academic or professional achievements, show particular 
promise of making significant contributions in that field. 
(3) A fellowship awarded to a scientist under the pro-
gram shall be for study and training at (and, where appro-
priate, at an institution of higher education in the vicinity 
of)—
(A) the Kurchatov Institute, in the case of a 
scientist employed at Lawrence Livermore National 
Laboratory; and 
(B) Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, 
in the case of a scientist employed at the Kurchatov 
Institute. 
(4) The duration of a fellowship under the program 
may not exceed two years. The Administrator may provide 
for a longer duration in an individual case to the extent 
warranted by extraordinary circumstances, as determined

Subtitle D—Other Matters 
SEC. 3641. PROMOTION OF DISCUSSIONS ON NUCLEAR AND 
RADIOLOGICAL SECURITY AND SAFETY BE-
TWEEN THE INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC EN-
ERGY AGENCY AND THE ORGANIZATION FOR 
ECONOMIC COOPERATION AND DEVELOP-
MENT. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) cooperative programs to control potential 
threats from any fissile and radiological materials, 
whatever and wherever their sources, should be ex-
panded to include additional states and international 
organizations; and 
(2) addressing issues of nuclear weapons and 
materials, as well as the issue of radiological dis-
persal bombs, in new forums around the world is 
crucial to the generation of innovative mechanisms 
directed at addressing the threats. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING INITIATION OF 
DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE IAEA AND THE OECD.—It is 
the sense of Congress that—
(1) the United States should seek to initiate 
discussions between the International Atomic Energy 
Agency and the Organization for Economic Coopera-
tion and Development for the purpose of exploring
722
HR 1588 RDS 
issues of nuclear and radiological security and safe-
ty, including the creation of new sources of revenue 
(including debt reduction) for states to provide nu-
clear security; and 
(2) the discussions referred to in paragraph (1) 
should also provide a forum to explore possible 
sources of funds in support of the G-8 Global Part-
nership Against the Spread of Weapons and Mate-
rials of Mass Destruction. 
(c) REPORT.—Not later than 12 months after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall sub-
mit to Congress a report on—
(1) the efforts made by the United States to 
initiate the discussions described in subsection (b);
