It would cover existing reactors and those scheduled to be completed within 10 years, including in places such as Ukraine, the Middle East, Taiwan, the Korean Peninsula, India and Pakistan, and eastern Europe. The report would also describe steps the United States and its partners could take to prevent, prepare for, and reduce these risks. It would be public, but could include a classified section.
