NATIONAL SECURITY DECISION
DIRECTIVE NUMBER 76
Peaceful Nuclear Cooperation with China (U)
I have reviewed the interagency analysis and agency
recommendations.on the above subject, as forwarded by the
Department of State's memorandum of December 29, 1982, and
have decided that the United States will pursue peaceful
nuclear cooperation with China on the basis of adequate non-
proliferation assurances and other conditions. These will
include (1) convincing assurances from the highest levels
that China will not assist any country to obtain nuclear
weapons, and no evidence concerning activities subsequent to
such assurances that would lead to a contrary conclusion;
(2) Chinese commitment to adhere to international norms in
its nuclear exports practices, including the application of
International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards on its nuclear
exports to non-nuclear-weapon states; and (3) Chinese agreement
to adequate bilateral procedures, to assure that U.S. exports
would not be used for any military or other prohibited
purposes, and to other provisions required in an agreement
for peaceful nuclear cooperation. These three conditions
will need to be met for the United States to conclude such
an agreement. (S)
The Administration will make these conditions clear to
the Chinese and in consultations with key members of Congress.
In the latter consultations it should also be clarified that
the United States will not settle for less than adequate
assurances and will carefully assess the validity of any
Chinese assurances. (S)
The Department of State will be responsible for implementa-
tion of this decision, in coordination with the Departments
of Defense, Commerce and Energy, the Arms Control and Disarmament
Agency, and the NSC staff. (U)
