United States respects Argentina’s decision to resume production of enriched uranium but also requests assurances that the technology will not be transferred to third countries.
Mara Tekach, Buenos Aires US Embassy spokesperson said Friday that Washington has no objections to the uranium enrichment plans but “demands guarantees that the technology will not be exported”, reports the Argentine press.
“United States strongly promotes the extensive use of clean, safe and innocuous nuclear energy. In this context we support Argentina’s decision to advance its nuclear program”, she underlined.
The short release adds that Argentina is “a strong international ally in issues such as non proliferation and a cooperation associate in the search of peaceful uses for nuclear energy”.
But, “we hope that on advancing with its civilian nuclear energy program, Argentina makes sure its actions correspond to the solid credentials of non proliferation shown so far”.
