  • For example, U.S. national policy makers have worked to make sure sensitive military and defense technology and production remain with American companies.
  • After 9/11, concerns grew that foreign ownership of U.S. infrastructure could increase our vulnerability to terrorist attacks. One example is the heated debate triggered by the 2006 purchase of a company that ran U.S. ports by the United Arab Emirates-owned company Dubai Ports World. (Dubai Ports eventually sold its interests to a U.S. company.) More recently, globalization of the nuclear industry and the weak U.S. economy have attracted significant levels of foreign investment in the U.S. nuclear industry
  • The Atomic Energy Act prohibits the NRC from issuing a license to any entity that the Commission believes is “owned, controlled or dominated by an alien, a foreign corporation or foreign government.” Broadly speaking, the foreign ownership prohibition protects the “common defense and security” of the United States, even though this may prevent some nations from participating in U.S. nuclear joint ventures.

So let us dispense with the distraction (and risk) that “foreign investment” brings to the dance. The US government should subsidize indigenous energy production in all its manifestations and forms to eliminate the need for foreign investment. That would be tax dollars well spent. And NRC could then bring even more focus and resources to its primary mission….nuclear safety.
