| Description/Abstract | A review is presented of what has happened since President Carter made a major policy statement in April 1977 concerning nuclear power.^President Carter, in essence, said the US would remove itself from activities in any of the nuclear-power fuel-cycle technologies which are considered, in any way, to involve a proliferation risk.^President Carter went further by instigating a concerted US foreign policy effort to obtain a similar self-denial by foreign industrialized nations with advanced nuclear power programs, and from developing nations who view nuclear power as an essential element of their future energy security.^The specifics of the Carter policy are summarized.^Some countries, such as West Germany and Japan, are basing their entire future on nuclear power.^Sen.^McClure concludes by saying: `` The US can ill afford to become a nuclear-power isolationist in a rapidly progressing world.^As we explore alternative energy sources nuclear stands ready, with a proven track record, to provide much of our energy needs in the coming decades.`` (MCW) |
