AFFIRMING the right of nations to persue peacful nuclear technologies;
APPALLED nonetheless that the nuclear waste poses a threat to lives, if it contaminates the water table, soil or air;
MANDATE that nuclear waste shall be classed as high level radioactive waste if it meets the qualifications as follows, which are defined as "radioactive waste that is radioactive enough for the decay heat to significantly increases its temperature and the temperature of its surroundings;"
FURTHER MANDATE that this waste must be disposed of in such a way as to not pose a threat of contamination to the outside ecosystem;
ESTABLISH the World Assembly Nuclear Regulatory Council (WANRC) to fund the construction of, and research into, methods for the safe disposal of high level radioactive waste in member states;
ALLOW the WANRC to appropriate funds from the WA General Fund to conduct its business;
VEST in the WANRC the authority to impose fines and sanctions against nations who do not dispose of the high level radioactive waste in a safe manner and;
