<p>This thesis examines the problems that United States Navy nuclear propulsion programs might encounter if the United States agreed to sign a version of the proposed  Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty (FMCT) affecting the  production of nuclear reactor fuel. The ultimate purpose of  the FMCT is to contribute to the fulfillment of the goal of  nuclear disarmament by terminating the production of  plutonium and highly enriched uranium for weapon purposes.  This thesis explores the potential impact of an FMCT on the  U.S. Navy's nuclear propulsion systems. It also examines  other options that might be available to the United States  Navy to proceed with its nuclear propulsion programs (such  as using low-enriched uranium as reactor fuel) as well as  to maintain the security of its propulsion reactor designs.
