Should nuclear fuels be taken out of national hands?
HOW do you manage a global boom in nuclear power while discouraging weapons proliferation?…The answer may be to put the fuel cycle entirely under international control. Many governments, international agencies and arms control experts are calling for the establishment of international fuel banks, and eventually fuel production plants, that would pledge to supply nuclear materials to any country so long as it meets non-proliferation rules.
What a fabulous idea! (Adjective chosen with malice aforethought.) After all, our current international institutions are models of rectitude, efficiency, honesty, and transparency.
