Conflict of nuclear initiatives

If the GNEP principles concern the technologies of fast reactors and closed fuel cycle, what does Joseph Adda, the Minister of Power Engineering of Ghana have to do with it being one of the GNEP signers? What is the purpose of persuading the delegations from Cameron, Tanzania and Tunis in the IAEA headquarters? How to explain the intention to involve Georgia into the GNEP if not by a desire to do Moscow an ill turn?
Will the situation be such that the respectable African states will demand their share of fast reactor technologies in the future? Washington doesn't think so. Thus, the discriminating principle of the GNEP is confirmed, the principle that states the old American dream: to create a certain superstructure that will duplicate and actually replace the IAEA and NPT, naturally on the basis suitable for the USA.

Hussein Khalil: I think you will be very strongly welcomed

There are no final decisions because the U.S. Department of Energy is seeking the input from industrial teams around the world. Many different industrial teams are being asked to contribute their ideas. Now we know about the state of the technology; however, it is much more likely if this reactor will be built, say, in timeframe of 2020-2025 then we will need to use more established technology. In this case it has to be a sodium-cooled reactor.
Certainly, there is an interest for the longer term. For example, in the Generation-IV we consider the different reactor technologies as the lead-cooled reactor, because they offer some potential improvements. However the timeframe that envisioned for the GNEP encourages the using of proven technologies. This relates to the sodium reactor and probably also to the fuel type which would likely be either oxide or metallic fuel, with which we have the greatest experience.
