Letter to NRC on Nuclear Proliferation Risks of Laser Enrichment

FAS President Dr. Charles Ferguson joined 18 nuclear non-proliferation experts in signing a letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) asking it to fulfill its responsibility to assess proliferation threats related to the technologies it regulates.
The NRC is considering the application of Global Laser Enrichment, LLC to operate a large-scale laser enrichment facility based on SILEX. The letter urges the NRC to prepare an assessment of the new technology as it has significant potential proliferation threats.
