(3) Considering forecasts that the United States will soon have 

 to decide whether to fund expansion of its domestic enrichment 

 plants, what would be the effect upon U.S. foreign policy of a 

 limitation or termination of the longstanding U.S. commitment 

 to supply enriched uranium to Euratom for commercial nuclear 

 power in Europe ? 



(4) What voice should the United States seek in Euratom's 

 setting of standards governing the environmental effects of nu- 

 clear power plants, and standards for review and approval of the 

 siting, design, and construction of nuclear power plants? In ex- 

 porting nuclear power plants, will the commercial interests of the 

 U.S. nuclear industry be sufficiently protected by a U.S. policy of 

 non-intervention ? 



(5) Considering the perplexing status of technology for long 

 term storage of the intensely radioactive wastes from nuclear 

 power, in what ways would domestic interests of the United States 

 benefit from measures to stimulate Euratom work in this field ? 



(6) Considering the priority being given to development and 

 demonstration of the breeder reactor in the United States and the 

 considerable interest among Common Market countries in breeder 

 technology, to what extent should U.S. foreign policy attempt to 

 influence European breeder research in the direction of the tech- 

 nology favored by the United States? Conversely, considering 

 criticisms of the U.S. breeder program for concentrating too much 

 on only one breeder concept, to what extent might U.S. foreign 

 policy attempt to guide European breeder research toward other 

 potentially competing breeder concepts as insurance against an 

 unexpected setback or failure in the U.S. domestic program?
