A report from a State Department advisory panel warns of proliferation threats as global nuclear energy generation expands, and it recommends that the United States embrace the trend to ensure that fuel-supplying nations adopt safeguards to manage the risks. Critics of the report say the expansion of nuclear power is not inevitable and should be resisted. A task force of the International Security Advisory Board chaired by former Pentagon and World Bank official Paul Wolfowitz produced the report, titled "Proliferation Implications of the Global Expansion of Civil Nuclear Power," in response to a request from Robert Joseph, undersecretary of state for arms control and international security.
