VIENNA, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- According to the Vienna, Austria-based International Atomic Energy Agency, more countries are turning to nuclear energy.

As other fuel prices increase along with demand in developing countries, demand for nuclear power is increasing as well, the IAEA told the United Nations in its annual report.

However, the increase in civilian nuclear power plants comes with an increase in the risk of nuclear material being converted into weapons, IAEA Director Mohamed ElBaradei told the U.N. General Assembly.

ElBaradei called on the United Nations to set up "multinational control" over nuclear fuel so that every country that wants nuclear energy can access nuclear fuel without political interference as long as they can abide by obligations for safeguards.
