Australia may start exporting uranium to China

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.

1. But this is a Fox-favored nation

Australia supported President Cheney and his sidekick W's adventure in Iraq, so the Fox newsy boys and girls LUV australia. France on the other hand is evil, of course.

Why do I think we won't hear about Australia's sale of uranium to China that much from the MSM or from Fox?
