Australia Looks to be Task Force for International Atomic Energy Agency

After early delegations Australia has made it a point to alert the media of their hope to be one of the main proponents of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Australia strongly backs this organization and furthermore hopes to help enforce its sanctions, in layman’s terms, serving as the eyes and ears of the organization. As one of the leaders in the field of nuclear safety, Australia, through their ANSTO program (Australian National Nuclear Research and Development Organization) feels that they are the perfect candidates for the job. Furthermore the Australians, as the largest uranium supplier in the world, would wield such resources in this debate on nuclear safety. Only proponents of the IAEA would receive exports of Uranium, said the Australians. Recent developments say that the IAEA is backing the Australians in their mission, and look now to find other nations to back both the Australians and the IAEA as a whole. Targets for such backing include the UN, NATO, ASEAN, and OPEC.
