Russia Plan For World Atomic Controls Advances In UN
United Nations atomic energy commission members weigh a Russian proposal to outlaw atomic weapons and require destruction within three months after ratification. The plan, replacing an American offer to share knowhow, calls for international controls, sanctions, and national laws with severe penalties and a system for peaceful exchange of scientific information. The core split with Baruch’s U.S. plan centers on whether to share atomic secrets and pool control rather than require immediate destruction.
