Ineptitude of the Department of Energy

According to the Washington Times, the Government Accountability Office, which is an investigatory arm of Congress, reports that the U.S. Energy Department is failing in its job to properly review nuclear exports.
Nuclear exports are of two types. These are products and processes which are used for peaceful purposes, such as diagnostic medical testing, and those products and processes which can aid in the development of a nuclear weapon.
We are particularly concerned with the latter, because a proliferation of nuclear weapons within the world increases the likelihood of nuclear weapon use wherein a single blast could kill hundreds of thousands of people.
There is no room for sloppiness in the government or anywhere else in the program to contain nuclear proliferation. At least two years ago, I advocated elimination of the Department of Energy (DOE), because of its ineptitude in handling not only conventional energy, such as oil, but also nuclear controls.
As Iran is on the doorstep of becoming another nuclear weapon power, we have additional proof that the DOE is completely incompetent in controlling nonproliferation weapon capability.
I call again on Congress to eliminate the DOE and place the responsibility for nuclear energy control with the Atomic Energy Commission and the Department of Defense.
