We have every interest in seeing that the military use of nuclear power will be contained.

I think we ultimately ought to look to put all uranium enrichment and fuel reprocessing, if any is done, under multinational control. Those are the two technologies by which nuclear energy can be translated into nuclear weapons programmes.

I can assure you we are a responsible nuclear power.

I support strongly the expansion of nuclear power because that is one of the key ways of getting electricity generated and reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

Nuclear power is an important part of our domestic fuel mix.

By burning nuclear waste as fuel, we believe we can power the United States cleanly for hundreds of years without ever touching new resources.

While nothing is certain, I firmly believe our nation is on the verge of a nuclear energy renaissance.

Nuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy.

If we are to meet the growing electricity demand in the United States without significantly increasing emissions of greenhouse gases, we must maintain a diverse supply of electricity, and nuclear power must be part of that mix.

We should remember that there are nations which meet more than 30 to 60% of their power requirements through the nuclear power system.
