Study of Feasible and Sustainable Multilateral Approach on Nuclear Fuel Cycle

摘要

This study made specific proposals to establish a regional multilateral control framework for the nuclear fuel cycle in the Asia, with a focus on nuclear non-proliferation, feasibility and sustainability. Priorities for the framework included: eliminating inequality for peaceful uses of nuclear power, making membership attractive (motivating) to the participant states and industry, maintain or improve nuclear non-proliferation capabilities (including political and geopolitical perspectives), implement safety and security at an international level, increased economic potential for fuel cycle compared to a single state approach, eliminate conflicts/inconsistency with existing laws and regulations, and solve transport issues for nuclear fuel, etc. As a result, we were able to give an example of a multilateral control framework that meets these needs.
