"VIENNA (AP) — Eleven more nations backed the concept Sunday of a U.S.-initiated
project that aims to reduce the dangers of nuclear proliferation and control
radioactive waste, while acknowledging that they were far from achieving such
goals. At issue is the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership, under which a limited
number of countries, including the U.S. and Russia would provide uranium fuel to
other nations and then retrieve it for reprocessing."
This sounds like a solid idea, to keep materials in places where they can be kept safe. There are a number of governments that just don't have the technology or the strength to keep the nuclear material safe. The problem of course is that it is asking for the nations involved to trust that America and other nations that are a part of the process are not going to manipulate this power unfairly for their own ends. There needs to be strong UN over sight of the process, and the involvement of enough nations to assure everyone a source they can trust.
