Sec. 5860. Report on special nuclear materials
Not later than 180 days after October 24, 1992, the Secretary of
State shall prepare, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and
the Secretary of Energy, and shall transmit to the Congress a report on
the possible alternatives for the ultimate disposition of special
nuclear materials of the former Soviet Union. This report shall
include--
(1) a cost-benefit analysis comparing (A) the relative merits of
the indefinite storage and safeguarding of such materials in the
independent states of the former Soviet Union and (B) its
acquisition by the United States by purchase, barter, or other
means;
(2) a discussion of relevant issues such as the protection of
United States uranium producers from dumping, the relative
vulnerability of these stocks of special nuclear materials to
illegal proliferation, and the potential electrical and other
savings associated with their being made available in the fuel cycle
in the United States; and
(3) a discussion of how highly enriched uranium stocks could be
diluted for reactor fuel.
