Sec. 3244. Actions to combat international nuclear terrorism


(a) Actions to be taken by President

    The Congress hereby directs the President--
        (1) to seek universal adherence to the Convention on the 
    Physical Protection of Nuclear Material;
        (2) to--
            (A) conduct a review, enlisting the participation of all 
        relevant departments and agencies of the Government, to 
        determine whether the recommendations on Physical Protection of 
        Nuclear Material published by the International Atomic Energy 
        Agency are adequate to deter theft, sabotage, and the use of 
        nuclear facilities and materials in acts of international 
        terrorism, and
            (B) transmit the results of this review to the Director-
        General of the International Atomic Energy Agency;

        (3) to take, in concert with United States allies and other 
    countries, such steps as may be necessary--
            (A) to keep to a minimum the amount of weapons-grade nuclear 
        material in international transit, and
            (B) to ensure that when any such material is transported 
        internationally, it is under the most effective means for 
        adequately protecting it from acts or attempted acts of sabotage 
        or theft by terrorist groups or nations; and

        (4) to seek agreement in the United Nations Security Council to 
    establish--
            (A) an effective regime of international sanctions against 
        any nation or subnational group which conducts or sponsors acts 
        of international nuclear terrorism, and
            (B) measures for coordinating responses to all acts of 
        international nuclear terrorism, including measures for the 
        recovery of stolen nuclear material and the clean-up of nuclear 
        releases.

(b) Reports to Congress

    The President shall report to the Congress annually, in the reports 
required by section 3281 of this title, on the progress made during the 
preceding year in achieving the objectives described in this section.
