Multilateral nuclear fuel cycle arrangements

This is the conventional nuclear fuel cycle.

3. Carriage by sea of irradiated nuclear fuel (IMO)

Provided the state in question is in compliance with its comprehensive non proliferation safeguards agreement with the IAEA, it can draw the required fuel from the bank and transfer it to a fuel fabricator to make fuel assemblies for the reactors involved.

First, international precedent tells us that nuclear fuel delivery contracts are unreliable, and no legally binding international document or instrument exists to guarantee the delivery of nuclear fuel.

Urges the formulation of guarantees of access to nuclear fuel services, or to fuel itself, subject to appropriate conditions.

Solutions to the issue of nuclear submarine fuel can be found.

There is currently an extensive international dialogue on nuclear fuel cycle issue.

3. Nuclear fuel means nuclear material or any material capable of producing energy by means of a self sustaining chain process of nuclear fission.

Brazil's first industrial nuclear fuel facility, located at Resende, is now fully operational.

We take note of the Agency's contributions to a research study on innovative nuclear reactors and fuel cycles conducted within the framework of the International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycles.

15. One consequence of this slow evolution of nuclear power production is that there is no shortage at all of nuclear fuel or of uranium ore as the raw material for such fuel.

The EU believes it is important to encourage access guarantees to nuclear fuel related services or to the fuel itself, under appropriate conditions.

There was no incompatibility between tightening controls over the nuclear fuel cycle and expanding the use of peaceful nuclear technology.

This assistance facilitates and speeds up the ongoing programme on dismantling decommissioned nuclear powered submarines with nuclear fuel on board.

(c) Nuclear fuel means any material capable of producing energy by means of a self sustaining nuclear fission chain reaction

The EU believes it is important to encourage guarantees of access to nuclear fuel related services or to the fuel itself, under appropriate conditions.

The report on possible multilateral approaches to the nuclear fuel cycle deserved wide attention.

Uruguay has no nuclear reactors of any kind, hence there is no possibility of diversion or theft of nuclear fuel for subsequent use in producing nuclear devices.

Civilian use of nuclear energy and technology must become fully resistant to proliferation, with better mechanisms for controlling the nuclear fuel cycle.

(N.B. this excludes nuclear fuel cycle activities that can be addressed through conventional safeguards arrangements.

We welcome early discussion of the report of the IAEA Expert Group on Multilateral Approaches to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle and underline the importance of better ensuring that nuclear fuel cycles will be exclusively used for peaceful purposes.

Iron clad guarantees of fuel supply at a reasonable price should be provided to countries that would voluntarily forgo the possession of sensitive nuclear fuel cycle facilities.

Third, alternative approaches are being explored to deal with the issue of the nuclear fuel cycle.

Global trends and analysis suggest a lucrative market for the nuclear fuel in the next decade.

Nuclear non proliferation would be undermined by the circulation of plutonium fuel in the commercial sector.

Separately, at IAEA an independent expert group has examined the question of a nuclear fuel cycle.

It is particularly important to note that the peaceful use of nuclear energy without possession of the nuclear fuel cycle is an empty proposition.

The red line is what is done in most nuclear reactors. It's called the open fuel cycle.

developing international and multilateral approaches to manage the risks of fuel production for civilian nuclear power and

Work on revising its guidelines on nuclear power plants, research and fuel cycle facilities is nearing completion.

In the meantime, IAEA should promote practical approaches to ensure the safety of the nuclear fuel cycle.

The spread of nuclear technology has exacerbated a long standing tension within the nuclear regime, arising from the simple fact that the technology required for civilian nuclear fuel can also be used to develop nuclear weapons.

(i) The Review Conference should encourage a moratorium on the development of new nuclear fuel cycle systems until agreement can be reached on a multilateral arrangement based on the report of the IAEA Expert Group on Multinational Approaches to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle

Currently, HEU is used for civilian purposes as a fuel for research and propulsion reactors, in critical assemblies and as the source of certain short lived isotopes, which are produced by bombarding HEU targets.

It is high time a similar programme was designed for the very core of the issue spent nuclear fuel. The spent nuclear fuel issue is also an international security issue. If unaccounted for, this fuel can fall into the wrong hands. We often talk about new security threats, whether intentional or accidental, which States must prevent through national measures.
