Nuclear Power Broker http://thebulletin.metapress.com/content/a231288530k7571p/fulltext.pdf

Russia hopes to establish an international uranium enrichment center (IUEC) that will operate as a transparent, reliable source of low-enriched uranium (LEU) for nuclear power production. Moscow sees this not only as a chance to inject some needed business into its nuclear industry, but also as a workable nonproliferation measure to discourage nuclear-power-seeking nations from building their own enrichment facilities (which could be used to produce material for nuclear weapons). http://thebulletin.metapress.com/content/a231288530k7571p/fulltext.pdf
