Legislative Initiatives
The following non-proliferation legislation is attributable to studies and
proposals by the Nuclear Control Institute:
Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Anti-Terrorism Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-399)
required five Federal agencies to prepare independent reports on the adequacy of
physical protection of plutonium and highly enriched uranium during transport
and storage in civil programs outside the United States.
Proxmire Amendment to Export Administration Act of 1986 created new
procedures for Congressional review of nuclear-cooperation agreements.
Wolpe/Glenn-Boschwitz Amendment to Export Administration Act of 1986 offered
specific conditions for nuclear exports to China.
Nuclear Explosives Control Act of 1984 (H.R. 3053 S. 1326) proposed to
tighten restrictions over production and use of nuclear-explosive materials and
offered positive inducements to other nations to forego use of these materials
in their nuclear programs. A joint statement endorsing this legislation was
issued by Senators Cranston, Hart and Proxmire and Representatives Ottinger,
Wolpe, Barnes and Markey.
Barnwell Funding Cutoff
Hart-Simpson-Mitchell Amendment to Atomic Energy Act outlawed the use of
plutonium from U.S. commercial nuclear powerplants for nuclear weapons.

Coalition Initiatives
The construction of a plutonium purification plant (the Special Isotope
Separation plant) will undermine U.S. nonproliferation objectives by producing
weapons-grade plutonium from plutonic.n that is not ideally suited for weapons
purposes. This sets a dangerous precedent for the use of laser isotope
separation technology in other, non-weapons states, where plutonium could
separated from commercial spent fuel. Letter sent to Armed Services Committees.
May 1989.
Veteran arms-control negotiators urge that agreements to reduce nuclear
weapons be explored before the U.S. begins construction of new tritium
production reactors. Letter sent to Congressional leaders by Gerard C. Smith and
Others. April 1989.
A request by representatives of twelve public-interest organizations that
Congress defer appropriating funds for the construction of new military
production reactors, pending an assessment of their need. This letter was sent
to Congressional leaders in February 1989.
"Stopping the Spread of Nuclear Weapons: Assessment of Current Policy
and an Agenda for Action," prepared by The Working Group on Nuclear
Explosives Control Policy, July 1984.
Request for oversight hearings on the Administration's approval of the
transfer of 253 kilograms of separated plutonium from France to Japan by ship.
This was the first shipment of separated, weapons-usable plutonium approved by
the U.S. for transfer outside of Europe since enactment of the NNPA. Letter
requesting hearings was sent July 1984 to Rep. Dante Fascell and Sen. Charles
Percy, chairmen of the Foreign Affairs and Foreign Relations committees,
respectively.
Request for oversight hearings on the Administration's consideration of a
request by Switzerland to permit the retransfer and use of U.S.-controlled
plutonium as fuel in its commercial power program. A letter requesting hearings
was sent to Rep. Dante Fascell, chairman, House Foreign Affairs Committee, and
Sen. Charles Percy, chairman, Senate Foreign Relations Committee. February 1984.
Draft amendment to ban the use of commercial spent fuel for military
purposes, November 1981, was sent to Senators Hart and Percy. Resulted in
passage of the Hart-Simpson-Mitchell amendment.
