A number of policies have been proposed to reduce U.S. dependence on 

 imported oil or to reduce U.S. vulnerability in some other way. Among the 

 policies proposed are stockpiling, quotas and tariffs, subsidies to domestic 

 oil producers, accelerated development of nuclear power, and conversion of 

 oil fired generating plants to coal. Of special concern is the proposal that U.S. 

 government subsidize or offer other incentives to the development of syn- 

 thetic fuels, since these technologies have not yet been significantly developed 

 on a commercial scale in the United States. This study examines these dif- 

 ferent policies, their benefits and costs, and compares them as instruments to 

 reduce the impact of future supply disruptions. The policy measures chosen 

 for analysis are representative of types of actions currently under considera- 

 tion to mitigate the effects of OPEC.

This study highlights and interprets those aspects of energy supply which 

 will engage the interests of states from now until the early decades of the 

 21st Century. The study traces and amplifies themes which will preoccupy 

 the great industrial states until such time as solar power, nuclear fusion or 

 other energy sources relieve them of the challenge of securing access to ade- 

 quate and continuous supplies of energy. This study also discusses and makes 

 recommendations on energy policy options which would give the United 

 States and allies greater assurance of energy supply.

Discusses "the current status of legislative attempts to regulate inter- 

 national nuclear trade, commencing with a brief history of nuclear regulation 

 as it has developed during the last 25 years. The principal focus is upon de- 

 velopments in the United States, although the authors have included some 

 foreign perspectives essential to an understanding of the issues."

Argues that the safe exploitation of nuclear power can only be accomplished 

 through "the framework of an international agency and universally applicable 

 standards", and that IAEA should be strengthened for this role.
