Weapons material disposition: Section II - disposition`s dilemma; Section III - the MOX option: For love or for money?
In the interests of global security, almost all the nuclear states are now working closely with each other to tackle safeguards and disposition issues that until recently have been caught in the thicklets of international rivalry. An excellent example in the Nuclear Safety and Security Summit held in Moscow in April, attended by government leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the U.K., the U.S. and the Russian Federation. The Summit Decleration addresses excess weapons materials in term, even outlining specific disposal alternatives, and called for a convention of technical experts to meet in France before year-end to formulate concrete recommendations. As the Summit Decleration also makes clear, however, primary responsibility for solutions lies with the nuclear weapons states themselves, not with other countries or international organizations, specifically the united States and Russia, that we now turn.
