**__ Topic #1: Safety of Nuclear Material __** France has a successful nuclear program which stays in top condition. The successfulness of France’s nuclear program is huge. In France, over 75% of the electricity used is from nuclear energy, and we have gained over 3 million euro doing this. Also, France has been very active in developing nuclear technology. Reactors and fuel products and services are a major export. Nuclear energy used for France’s nuclear waste has increased dramatically over the past 20 years, and is 18% of France’s exports. Overall, France has one of the top notch nuclear systems in the world, and is one of the safest countries for nuclear material. As of today, nuclear energy is becoming one of the most popular forms of energy. From nuclear energy, there is nuclear waste, which is the biggest hassle due to its disposal dangers. The nuclear material is toxic to land, people, and basically the environment. It is also highly explosive, and poses huge dangers to the nuclear-waste holding countries. The UN has been greatly involved in the concerns of the safety of nuclear material. The major campaign in which to solve this problem is the IAEA. The international atomic Energy Agency monitors the safety rate of nuclear facilities to nuclear waste holding countries and make sure they follow safety procedures. However, many countries lack money to safely dispose of this waste. The UN has held many conventions in which to raise money and find alternatives to dispose of this waste. The IAEA plays the biggest role in disposing of this nuclear waste. France believes that the IAEA could control the facilities to protect their country and civilians. The IAEA could also focus their attention to needy countries, such as Iran and Russia, those that need the disposal of nuclear waste. Also, the IAEA could come up with more ways to get rid of these waste using less money, such as drilling holes deep into the earth and putting the nuclear waste there. Lastly, the Un and the IAEA could stop investigating non-needy countries, and stop spending money on conducting research to find alternatives, and instead using the money to fund countries in need of money to protect the countries and their people.

Iran is currently the holder of many nuclear weapons and is the biggest Muslim country holding nuclear weapons, uranium, and state sponsored terrorism. On the contrary, Iran is one of the biggest oil suppliers in the world. Because of this, the world is dependent on Iran, so when Iran decides not to obey the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty, we cannot do anything about it. Therefore, Iran is currently one of the Nuclear Weapon holders, with France, the US, UK, Russia, and China. For France, we have done everything in our power to stop Iran from threatening all countries with their nuclear power. France is currently one of the big 5 that have signed the NPT and have contributed towards the UN and IAEA to stop Iran's power, In addition, France has also voted against all of Iran's nuclear rights. Even though the France is a big contributor towards this dilemma, nothing has changed.
 * __ Topic 2: Iranian Nuclear Program __**
 * __ I. Country Policy __**

The UN is very active in stopping Iran's bomb and uranium increase. The IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) is also currently involved with stopping Iran's nuclear bomb tests, and urge Iran to let them check their nuclear bomb facilities, making sure nothing goes wrong. In addition, many watchdog operations have been performed by the IAEA, as well as urging Iran to follow the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty. Still, Iran has failed to comply with the UN. The UN security council has also been involved with stopping Iran’s nuclear increase, but Iran has also disregarded their involvement, and still fail to comply. This poses a bigger threat to all nations, but the UN has failed to stop this nuclear believing country, and Iran is gaining more power as we live on today.
 * __ II. UN Involvement: __**

Possible solution could include threatening Iran's power, or boycotting their oil supply until they decide to cooperate. However, solutions would be hard to fulfill due to their power, and the world's dependency on their oil supply. Because of this, we think more of the many powerful countries should stand up, and help the situation that is going on with Iran. In addition, the world could agree to investigate Iran’s enrichment of uranium frequently; this way, there is no threat towards other countries that Iran is making more nuclear weapons. [] [] []
