VIENNA (AFP) - Eleven countries joined Sunday a US-led initiative to spread
atomic power but not technology which can be used to make nuclear weapons.

Australia, Bulgaria, Ghana, Hungary, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Lithuania,
Poland, Romania, Slovenia and Ukraine signed in Vienna a statement of
principles for the programme, the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP).
It called for the "the expansion of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes
worldwide in a safe and secure manner." GNEP seeks to help states get nuclear
fuel, such as uranium, so they do not produce it themselves.
It also aims to promote the use of nuclear reactors that do not present
proliferation risks, such as producing plutonium, and to recycle spent nuclear
fuel so that plutonium can not be separated out.
Enriched uranium and plutonium can be fuel for reactors but also can be used
to make nuclear weapons.
