6. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to the ‘Uranium Bank’ opened in Kazakhstan:
- It is established by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
- It will supply Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) as well as Highly enriched uranium (HEU) to member states.
- Being non-signatory to Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT), India will not be able to take benefit of this.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN global nuclear watchdog, opened auranium bank in the city of Oskemen, in eastern Kazakhstan to discourage new nations from enriching the nuclear fuel. Hence statement 1 is correct.
The Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) Bank will serve as a last-resort mechanism to provide confidence to countries that they will be able to obtain LEU for the manufacture of fuel for nuclear power plants in the event of an unforseen, non-commercial disruption to their supplies. (Not the High Enriched Uranium HEU). Hence statement 2 is not correct.
Countries such as Iran have said they need enrichment facilities to ensure a steady supply of fuel for nuclear power plants, and the idea behind the bank is to make such supply available without domestic enrichment. Russia has operated a similar bank since 2010 but the one in Kazakhstan will be the first one fully owned and operated by the global nuclear watchdog. By hosting the IAEA LEU bank, Kazakhstan has made another contribution to strengthening the global non-proliferation regime. Hence statement 3 is not correct.
