Observers don't expect GAO findings to hurt US-UAE trade agreement

摘要

Congress will not block the US-United Arab Emirates nuclear energy cooperation deal despite fresh concerns over bilateral civilian nuclear deals reised by a recent report by the Government Accountability Office, or GAO, industry and congressional sources said over the past two weeks.rnCongress has until October 17 to block the UAE agreement in a joint resolution of disapproval or let it come into effect (NuclearFuel, 3 Aug., 1). Section 123 of the US Atomic Energy Act makes bilateral nuclear cooperation agreements a prerequisite for most US nuclear trade.
