WASHINGTON — The Senate today approved a long-delayed agreement providing for nuclear technology cooperation between the United States and China.
The voice vote approval came without audible dissent. A resolution approving the agreement is still pending in the House, but the accord will take effect Dec. 11 nonetheless, since it could have been blocked only if the House and Senate both voted against it. The agreement permits the sale of American reactors and other technology wanted by China for its civilian nuclear power program.
