Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful, and has enriched uranium to less than 5 , consistent with fuel for a civilian nuclear power plant.

The participation of the largest possible number of States is vital first and foremost the nuclear Powers, but also countries which possess the potential to produce nuclear explosive devices and have uranium enrichment and spent fuel reprocessing facilities.

Political constraints and monopolies in the area of fuel supply and reprocessing prevents developing countries from enjoying their inalienable right to peaceful uses of nuclear energy and risk the continuous and secure operation of their nuclear power plants.

Such a wind power plant would be capable of producing the energy equivalent to a nuclear plant, while using an area of few square kilometres, without occupying it exclusively.

Radiation remains a serious problem for residents in the area surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant since the plant suffered a meltdown following the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami.

The damage must be related directly to radioactive material, not merely (for example) at a nuclear power plant.

And there is the disconcerting prospect that new civil nuclear energy players will insist on building uranium enrichment or plutonium reprocessing plants of their own, rightly described as bomb starter kits.

In addition, a number of countries with nuclear energy programs have the capability, if they choose, to manufacture nuclear weapons within a matter of months if their security perceptions change, because they have mastered the critical technology uranium enrichment and plutonium reprocessing.

For example, Japan s nuclear regulatory authority was not sufficiently independent, and oversight of the plant operator, TEPCO, was weak.
