Nuclear Energy Agreements With Russia, Australia Open Door for Expanded Trade, Nuclear Energy Institute, 12/10/2010
WASHINGTON, D.C.—With the completion of the congressional review, the
way is clear for the Obama administration to enact a civilian nuclear
energy cooperation agreement with Russia and renewed another with
Australia, commonly known as “123 agreements.”

The bilateral
agreements with the two nations will open the door for new nuclear
trade, research and technology transfers. Following is a statement
from the Nuclear Energy Institutes President and Chief Executive
Officer Marvin Fertel:

“These agreements are important to the United States to allow for the
supply of nuclear technology, fuel and services with other countries….

“The agreement with Australia renews and strengthens a long-standing
accord with an important partner. ….

“With these agreements, American nuclear technology companies and
suppliers will have broader global market access.”
