Congress says four Cabinet Secretaries should secure weapons-grade nuclear material when theft risk is significant and no reasonable, affordable alternative exists. The material may be brought into the United States if needed and lawful.
Congress expresses that the Defense, Energy, Treasury, and State Secretaries should purchase, package, and move weapons-grade nuclear material from a stockpile to secure locations if they determine both that there is a significant theft risk and that no reasonable, economically feasible alternative can secure it. If importing the material into the United States is necessary for security, it should be imported subject to the laws and regulations governing such imports.
It is the sense of Congress that—
the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of State should purchase, package, and transport to secure locations weapons-grade nuclear materials from a stockpile of such materials if such officials determine that—
there is a significant risk of theft of such materials; and
there is no reasonable and economically feasible alternative for securing such materials; and
if it is necessary to do so in order to secure the materials, the materials should be imported into the United States, subject to the laws and regulations that are applicable to the importation of such materials into the United States.
