Overview
A grant to the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association would allow the Association to host an international conference in China to explore the implications of reprocessing and the possibility of a regional fuel facility in Asia. The two day conference would bring together experts from China, Japan, South Korea, the United States and the International Atomic Energy Association, the organization tasked with monitoring proliferation risks worldwide. This grant represents a rare chance to assist a Chinese organization unaffiliated with the government in its effort to generate in-depth discussion about the positive and negative aspects of available options for nuclear spent fuel. This is especially important as many Asian countries consider reprocessing and other methods of reusing spent fuel that have high proliferation risks.
