Russia I: Japan to Contribute $100 Million for Plutonium Disposal

Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has said his country will allocate $100 million to help Russia recycle weapon-grade plutonium, ITAR-Tass reported Saturday (see GSN, Dec. 6, 2002).

Koizumi said the creation of a reliable system to dispose of surplus weapon-grade plutonium is a valuable tool for accelerating the disarmament process (ITAR-Tass, Jan. 11 in FBIS-SOV, Jan. 11).
