Australia may start exporting uranium to China

Advertisements [?]

Australia is confident it can strike a deal with Beijing to export Australian uranium to China for peaceful purposes, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said yesterday.

Talks are underway to secure a Chinese commitment that the uranium would be used only for electricity generation, Downer said. Australia prohibits the sale of uranium for nuclear weapons, nuclear-powered warships or other military uses.

Australia also insists that uranium customers abide by the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and prevent radioactive products from being passed to a third country.
