#nonproliferation
Discussions on nuclear nonproliferation are spanning several fronts. The Trump administration is advancing a plan to convert plutonium from dismantled Cold War warheads into reactor fuel, drawing unease. The US has signed a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia that could allow uranium enrichment without the safeguards required of the UAE, alarming lawmakers. Meanwhile, Kazakhstan is offering its nuclear diplomacy as a model amid stalled US-Iran talks over Iran's uranium stockpile, with Tokayev warning that global arms-control safeguards are weakening.
Why now: A cluster of simultaneous developments — the US plutonium fuel plan, the US-Saudi nuclear deal and stalled Iran talks — has put nuclear nonproliferation back in the spotlight.
