Paris (Platts)--13Jul2005

World enrichers will meet in September under World Nuclear Association (WNA)
auspices to begin discussions of industry's role in any multilateral
initiative on guaranteeing enrichment supply. Adrian Collings of the WNA,
representing its director general John Ritch, told an international conference
in Moscow today that industry involvement is essential in any international
discussions of mechanisms to guarantee fuel supply for nonproliferation
reasons. He said WNA believes that the existing commercial structure could be
used with "a minimum of complexity" to provide the supply assurances proposed
by international initiatives. Collings told Platts that WNA is concentrating
on enrichment supply, though most of the meeting's discussion was on the back
end of the nuclear fuel cycle.
