U.S.-Russia: Russia Will Continue to Limit Access to Nuclear Sites, Rumyantsev Says Russia will continue to block international access to some of its nuclear sites, Atomic Energy Minister Alexander Rumyantsev said yesterday, citing national security reasons (see GSN, March 24). Restricted access to sites containing Russian nuclear materials has delayed the installation of improved security measures, a recent U.S. congressional report said. Rumyantsev, however, said some sites would continue to be off-limits, noting that Russia has already provided levels of access that would have been unknown during the Soviet era. “As for access by representatives of other countries to our sites where nuclear materials are located, we will not show all sites. And where the arrangement of these installations [is] confidential, we will not display them for international observation,” Rumyantsev said. “It is a question linked to our defensive capability,” he added (Associated Press/Moscow Times, March 27).
