22 U.S.C. § 3223 — International undertakings

(a) Consistent with section 3224 of this title, the President must promptly discuss with supplier and recipient nations and groups, including both kinds of nations, ways to meet future worldwide nuclear-fuel needs. The President is authorized and urged to negotiate as soon as practical with nations that have nuclear-fuel production facilities or source material and with appropriate nations or groups such as the IAEA. The goal is binding international undertakings providing for:
(1) an International Nuclear Fuel Authority (INFA) responsible for agreed fuel services and for allocating agreed amounts of fuel resources, so fuel is supplied on reasonable terms under agreements with supplier and recipient nations;
(2) conditions consistent with subsection (d) for fuel assurances under INFA, including conditions preventing transferred material from being used for nuclear explosive devices;
(3) feasible, environmentally sound, internationally supervised, and inspected ways to locate, develop, and manage facilities for nuclear-fuel services, including special nuclear material storage, consistent with the policy goals in section 2153b of title 42;
(4) internationally supervised and inspected repositories for spent reactor fuel;
(5) arrangements compensating nations that put spent fuel in repositories for that fuel’s energy content if recovering it is considered necessary or desirable; and
(6) sanctions for violating or abandoning the undertakings.
(b), (c) Omitted.
(d) Fuel assurances must benefit nations that follow policies designed to prevent proliferation. In negotiating the undertakings, the President must seek to limit benefits for non-nuclear-weapon states to states that accept IAEA safeguards over all peaceful nuclear activities, do not make or otherwise obtain a nuclear explosive device, do not establish new enrichment or reprocessing facilities under their actual or legal control, and put existing facilities under effective international supervision and inspection.
(e) The report required by section 3281 must describe progress in negotiations under this section.
(f)(1) The President may not enter a binding undertaking negotiated under subsection (a) that is not a treaty until the undertaking has been submitted to Congress and approved by concurrent resolution.
(2) Proposals prepared under subsection (b) must be submitted to Congress as part of an annual Department of Energy authorization Act.
