SEC. 101. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Since the United States Baruch Plan of 
1946, the United States has believed that an in-
crease in the number of countries that possess nu-
clear weapons and the means to create such weapons 
makes the world less secure and stable by increasing 
the chances that nuclear weapons would be used. A 
world in which nuclear weapons are used again is

less secure for all concerned, and could well trigger 
a global arms race, as more countries will be tempt-
ed to arm themselves with nuclear weapons to pre-
vent attacks by countries that possess nuclear weap-
ons. 
(2) It is therefore in the general security inter-
est of all countries, and in the vital national security 
interest of the United States, that the number of 
countries that possess a nuclear weapons capability 
necessarily be kept to a minimum and ultimately re-
duced. 
(3) Uranium enrichment and spent-fuel reproc-
essing facilities produce nuclear material that can ei-
ther be used for peaceful purposes in electricity-gen-
erating reactors, or can be used to produce uranium 
and plutonium for nuclear weapons. As such, these 
facilities are inherently a proliferation risk, allowing 
their possessor to be just months away from the pro-
duction of a nuclear explosive device. 
(4) It is also therefore in the general security 
interest of all countries that the number of countries 
that operate uranium enrichment and spent-fuel re-
processing facilities also be kept to a minimum, con-
sistent with the global demand for nuclear power re-
actor fuel.

(5) The financing and construction of addi-
tional uranium enrichment and spent-fuel reprocess-
ing facilities in additional states around the world is 
indefensible on economic grounds alone, given cur-
rent and future supplies of uranium and existing 
providers of uranium enrichment and spent-fuel re-
processing services to the world market. 
(6) The desire to construct uranium enrichment 
and spent-fuel reprocessing facilities by additional 
countries, therefore, is often based upon consider-
ations other than economic calculations. The posses-
sion of such facilities is often elevated to a matter 
of national pride—a demonstration to the world that 
the country that possesses this technology has ar-
rived at a level of technological development com-
parable to that of the United States and other coun-
tries with advanced civil nuclear power programs. 
(7) Furthermore, the acquisition of uranium en-
richment and spent-fuel reprocessing facilities can be 
perceived as a demonstration of the developing 
world’s independence from technological domination 
by the more developed states. Article IV of the Trea-
ty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (21 
UST 483; commonly referred to as the ‘‘Nuclear 
Non-Proliferation Treaty’’ or the ‘‘NPT’’) recognizes
