III - Support efforts to improve the security of nuclear plants;

Support.

Passed: Nuclear Energy Research Act - Jonquiere-Tadoussac - 04-04-2006

I wish Clause 5 didn't specifically say "fissionable" materials, but nothing to be done about that now. Support.

Passed: Nuclear Energy Research Act - Fonzoland - 04-04-2006

But of course. Aye.

Passed: Nuclear Energy Research Act - Yeldan IDU Territory - 04-17-2006

This is up next. I haven't voted in the poll because Franxico is not a UN member at the moment. Obviously I'm for it.

Passed: Nuclear Energy Research Act - Keeslandia - 04-18-2006

I vote "aye."

Passed: Nuclear Energy Research Act - Grosseschnauzer - 04-18-2006

I'll support this but I wish a clause had been included to prohibit trade in, or the use of, nuclear material for anything other than peaceful uses, and prohibiting diversion of such materials for any use other than solely peaceful uses (energy, medicine, etc.)

Passed: Nuclear Energy Research Act - Fonzoland - 04-18-2006

You mean this?

Passed: Nuclear Energy Research Act - Eisophca - 04-21-2006

The resolution is at vote and currently passing 1700 to 400.

Passed: Nuclear Energy Research Act - Antrium - 04-21-2006

Thanks Ceo for pinning and editing the title Smile

I'll be casting the region's vote on Monday.

Passed: Nuclear Energy Research Act - Lloegr-Cymru - 04-23-2006

I'm adding LL-C's affirmative for the record.

Passed: Nuclear Energy Research Act - Groot Gouda - 04-23-2006

It's co-authored by Yelda so I'm inclined to vote blindly for.

Passed: Nuclear Energy Research Act - Fonzoland - 04-23-2006

It looks like a landslide victory! Smile

Quote: YES [ 10 ]  [90.91%]
NO [ 1 ]  [9.09%]
ABSTAIN [ 0 ]  [0.00%] [/quote]

Based on these results, I'm going to cast the region's vote FOR the proposal now.
(I know I said Monday, but it would be pretty much impossible to get 9 no votes by tomorrow.)

Passed: Nuclear Energy Research Act - Enn - 04-24-2006

Since my queries about yellowcake were cleared up by the author, I have no problem with this. FOR.
