NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGIES AND NON-PROLIFERATION POLICIES

(ISSUE 19)

    This issue continues a series of quarterly digests containing information about various issues pertaining to nuclear technologies and nuclear non-proliferation that have to do with Russia or bear a relation to it.

The materials included in this digest are a rendering of various publications on the problems under consideration that appeared from July to September of 2005. They have been picked out by the editors of this digest and represent their view on what might be interesting for the Russian experts and public.

The quarterly digest is supplemented with the annexes where some issues are described in more detail.

The worldwide Internet computer network as well as publications from the Western and Russian press are the main sources of information for the digest.

The work has been done under the contract between the Analytical Center for Non-proliferation and the U.S. Department of Energy under the auspices of the Nuclear Cities Initiative. The contract provides financial support for this project, but its subject-matter is fully determined by the Russian specialists.

Edited by Igor Andryushin and Yuri Yudin.
