	Nuclear Technology ~ A Primer
		For decades, nuclear advocates have predicted that plutonium will replace uranium as fuel for reactors; they see it as the principal energy source of the future.
		Nuclear proponents anticipate that plutonium will be extracted from spent fuel before the waste is placed in geologic disposal.
		Spent nuclear fuel is extremely radioactive; as a result, it spontaneously generates a form of heat called "radioactive decay heat".

	Welcome to the Office of Nuclear Energy, Science & Technology
		The suppliers of nuclear technology have rapidly consolidated and the utilities that implement energy technologies are not far behind.
		Through the Generation IV Technology Roadmap, the Department — working closely with our international partners, industry, academia, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and others — will begin the difficult but necessary task of compiling a set of key technology goals for systems to be developed for the long-term future.
		The regulatory environment is favorable, Generation III technologies are proven and available, and utilities have demonstrated the willingness to make significant investments in nuclear energy, spending billions over the last year alone in acquiring existing nuclear power capacity.

		Nuclear power was dealt a further blow when a UN Sustainable Development Conference refused to label nuclear a sustainable technology in April 2001.
		Also nuclear programs based on reprocessing plutonium from spent fuel have dramatically increased the risk of proliferation as the creation of more plutonium, means more nuclear waste which in turn means more materials available for the creation of dirty bombs.
		The French nuclear waste authority ANDRA has only a partial inventory of the multitude of existing waste categories, as large quantities have not yet been declared by the main waste producers EDF and Cogema, including spent nuclear fuel or waste from the uranium enrichment industry.

	Should the US Sell Nuclear Technology to India? – Part I
		Third, the risks of the nuclear deal could be reduced by preserving a distinction between NPT parties and non-parties in terms of the nuclear exports they would be permitted to receive.
		Fourth, nonproliferation risks could be reduced by implementing the nuclear deal in a country-neutral manner – not as a special exception to the rules for India alone.
		To avoid this pitfall without opening the door to nuclear cooperation in cases where it is not merited, modifications should be made in U.S. law and the Nuclear Suppliers Group guidelines that would permit nuclear cooperation with any state not party to the NPT that meets certain criteria of responsible nuclear behavior.

	Iran demands right to nuclear technology - World News - MSNBC.com
		Diplomats said Iran’s conditions effectively stall the European attempt to convince Tehran to give up the technology that would allow it to make nuclear arms and pushes Europe closer to the U.S. view that Iran should be hauled before the U.N. Security Council for violating the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
		The United States insists Iran wants to make nuclear weapons, despite Tehran’s claims that it is interested in uranium enrichment and other “dual use” technology only to generate power.
		and a commitment to push “rigorously and systematically” for a non-nuclear Middle East and to “provide security assurances” against a nuclear attack on Iran — both allusions to Israel, which is believed to have nuclear arms and destroyed Iraq’s nuclear reactor in a 1981 strike to prevent it from making atomic arms.
