Sleeping Plutonium Dogs

Anyone who cares enough actually to read the “Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement” that Russia withdrew from this week, whose language is remarkably clear, will see that it was based entirely on American use of the MOX reactor at Savannah River to change weapons-grade Pu into nonexplosive commercial fuel. The Russians have their own such plants, but the American one has been delayed by so many technical problems and cost overruns that the Obama administration decided to cancel it.  The Agreement has a clause to cover such an eventuality: “If a Party considers it necessary to change facilities that it is using for plutonium disposition, it shall notify the otherIt helps to reduce fluid accumulation and inflammation of kidney viagra in india online tissues.

Should anyone be surprised that the Russians did not like this?  Trust us, nobody will ever take it out of storage. Given the current rocky road of Russian-American diplomatic relations, plus Vladimir Putin’s tendency to kick sleeping dogs, the Agreement was waiting to be shredded.
