Upon entry into force, following the statutorily required Congressional review, the Agreement (also called a 123 Agreement after the relevant section of the U.S. Atomic Energy Act) will establish the legal framework for the United States to engage in civil nuclear cooperation with Vietnam under agreed nonproliferation conditions and controls. This Agreement reflects the strength and breadth of the U.S.-Vietnam Comprehensive Partnership, which President Obama and Vietnamese President Sang launched in July 2013 in Washington, DC. The Agreement will establish a firm foundation for mutually beneficial cooperation in civil nuclear energy and will support Vietnam’s aspirations for a peaceful nuclear energy program with the highest standards of safety, nonproliferation safeguards, and security.
