Nuclear Nonproliferation Status of Transparency Measures for U.S. Purchase of Russian Highly Enriched Uranium

Abstract

As you requested, this report examines (1) the transparency measures that are in place, (2) whether these measures ensure that the nonproliferation objectives of the agreement are met, and (3) the proposals for additional transparency measures. This report is the unclassified version of a classified report that we issued to you on July 8, 1999. In addition to information on these three objectives, the classified report included information on whether the transparency measures ensure that the arms control objectives of the agreement-that the highly enriched uranium that is purchased by the United States is extracted from dismantled Russian nuclear weapons-are met.
