Pages. 16-26 from FCO 66758 - US Proposal for Common Nuclear Export Policies 1975

This document is a memorandum from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, dated November 24, 1975, regarding nuclear supplier cooperation and safeguards proposals. It states that the paper updates and simplifies an earlier paper on the same topic. The memorandum highlights the series of meetings that have taken place on nuclear supplier cooperation, which originated with proposals made by the United States to several governments. The aim was to agree on principles and concepts for the application of safeguards and controls on nuclear transfers to non-nuclear weapon states. The group's work has resulted in collaboration and responsibility among the member states. The memorandum proposes that the paper be cleared out of the committee for comments. An annex to the memorandum includes guidelines for nuclear transfers, a trigger list, and common criteria for technology transfers. Additionally, the memorandum includes oral statements made by the leaders of the delegations from the United Kingdom, Canada, the Soviet Union, and Japan. It concludes with an annex on the Board of Governors and another on the trigger list and common criteria for technology transfers.
