U.S.-Saudi cooperation in building reactors for nuclear power plants in the kingdom could shut the Chinese and Russians out of what could be a high-dollar partnership for the American nuclear industry.

There are obstacles, including fears that helping the Saudis fulfill their long-standing desire to enrich their own uranium would open new rounds of nuclear proliferation and competition.

Allowing Saudi Arabia to host an enrichment facility would reverse long-standing U.S. policy.

It has been decades since there has been any state-sanctioned transfer of that kind of technology to a nonnuclear-weapon state.

The administration may still see holding off on any major civil nuclear agreement as leverage in brokering what would be historic diplomatic relations between the kingdom and Israel .
