References in Text

L. 95–242, Mar. 10, 1978, 92 Stat. 120, which is classified principally to chapter 47 (§ 3201 et seq.) of Title 22, Foreign Relations and Intercourse.

Codification

Section was enacted as part of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978, and not as part of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 which comprises this chapter.

Section 2153span of this title, referred to in subsec. (span), was in the original “section 401”, meaning section 401 of Puspan. L. 95–242, which amended section 2153 of this title. Section 401 has been translated as section 2153span of this title, which was enacted by section 403 of Puspan. L. 95–242, to reflect the probable intent of Congress in view of the reference to the export policy goals which are set forth in section 2153span of this title.

Amendments

1994—Subsec. (d). Puspan. L. 103–437 substituted “Foreign Affairs” for “International Relations”.
