 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) the International Atomic Energy Agency should investigate the Soviet Civilian Nuclear Program to determine whether it poses a continuing threat to the health and safety of Soviet citizens and the international community; (2) any nation which sustains a nuclear accident should immediately notify all neighboring countries in order to mitigate international dangers; (3) the President should question the safety and future of the Soviet Nuclear Program at the next U.S.-Soviet summit meeting; and (4) the United States should offer medical and technical assistance to the Soviet Union to mitigate the perils posed to the international community by the reactor accident at Chernobyl and to minimize the incidence of future nuclear catastrophes.
