1 would seriously exacerbate these states' difficult progress towards economic recovery and could lead to political instability; (5) retrofitting the RBMK reactors with modern Western safety equipment will result in only marginal safety improvements at great expense; and (6) alternative power sources, such as natural gas turbines, and modern energy efficiency measures and technologies could displace the need for much of the power which these reactors provide. (b) UNITED STATES POLICY.—It is the sense of Congress that the President should undertake bilateral and multilateral initiatives, including trade initiatives, to (1) assist in bringing on line enough replacement power and modern energy efficiency measures and technologies in the states of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union so that the RBMK reactors may be shut down as soon as possible and placed in stable condition to prevent radiological contamination; (2) assist the states of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union in upgrading their other nuclear reactors to Western standards of safety and in ensuring that all of their nuclear reactors receive routine maintenance and repairs; (3) encourage and provide technical assistance to Russia and Ukraine to enact domestic legislation governing nuclear reactor safety; (4) negotiate formal agreements for nuclear cooperation with Russia and Ukraine; (5) identify nuclear safety research as a principal focus of the soon-to-be created nuclear science centers in Ukraine and Russia; and (6) make greater resources available to the International Atomic Energy Agency to promote programs of nuclear safety in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. (c) 72 REPORTING REQUIREMENT.-Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to Congress a report with a systematic assessment of the nuclear reactor safety situation in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, with a description of specific bilateral and multilateral initiatives the Administration is taking and plans to take to address these nuclear safety issues. DIVISION D-DEFENSE CONVERSION, REINVESTMENT, AND TRANSITION ASSISTANCE SEC. 4001.73 SHORT TITLE. This division may be cited as the "Defense Conversion, Reinvestment, and Transition Assistance Act of 1992". 72 In a Memorandum of March 4, 1993 for the Secretary of State, the President delegated to the Secretary of State all functions authorized in sec. 3202(c) (58 F.R. 14303; March 17, 1993). 73 10 U.S.C. 2491 note. SEC. 4101.73 FINDINGS. TITLE XLI-FINDINGS Congress makes the following findings: (1) The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the dissolution of the Soviet Union have fundamentally changed the military threat that formed the basis for the national security policy of the United States since the end of World War II. (2) The change in the military threat presents a unique opportunity to restructure and reduce the military requirements of the United States. (3) As the United States proceeds with the post-Cold War defense build down, the Nation must recognize and address the impact of reduced defense spending on the military personnel, civilian employees, and defense industry workers who have been the foundation of the national defense policies of the United States. (4) The defense build down will have a significant impact on communities as procurements are reduced and military installations are closed and realigned. (5) Despite the changes in the military threat, the United States must maintain the capability to respond to regional conflicts that threaten the national interests of the United States, and to reconstitute forces in the event of an extended conflict. (6) The skills and capabilities of military personnel, civilian employees of the Department of Defense, defense industry workers, and defense industries represent an invaluable national resource that can contribute to the economic growth of the United States and to the long-term vitality of the national technology and industrial base. (7) Prompt and vigorous implementation of defense conversion, reinvestment, and transition assistance programs is essential to ensure that the defense build down is structured in a manner that (A) enhances the long-term ability of the United States to maintain a strong and vibrant national technology and industrial base; and (B) promotes economic growth.
