US, China Lead Resolution on Nuclear Safety

Resolution proposed in the Nuclear Safety council which will allow for the UN to establish regional safety commissions, to regulate, review, and recommend safety provisions for their member states. They will work with but not answer to the IAEA.  The Superior power will be the regional commissions. They will be responsible for numerous securities including the establishment of regional nuclear safety schemes as well as regulations through sanctions or incentives. There will be no limit on nuclear plants and this will be based solely on the development of safety regulations overlooked by the regional commissions. These commissions will work to reach a basic level of safety standards for their region. Sponsoring nations include: the United States, China, Pakistan, Germany, the United Kingdom, and South Africa.  Caucuses continue, and the resolution will be voted on in the near future.
