Summary:

Analysis, prepared for the Subcom on Energy and the Environment by Warren H. Donnelly and Barbara L. Rather of CRS, based on 1974-75 subcom hearings on peaceful nuclear technology exports and their potential for contributing to worldwide nuclear proliferation.

Considers status and observed mechanisms of proliferation, including the potential dangers of unlimited nuclear testing by foreign governments. Also examines adequacy of domestic nuclear safeguards, issues surrounding Government control of commercial nuclear exports, and possibilities for limiting proliferation through existing international frameworks, including the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards.
