Moldova does not have the industrial capability to produce
nuclear, dual-use nuclear, or other weapons of mass destruction
commodities. There are no known nuclear or uranium mining facilities, nor
are there any known quantities of fissile material on Moldovan territory.
In the 1990s, Moldova considered a proposal to allow
the transit of spent nuclear fuel across its territory from the Bulgarian
nuclear power plant at Kozloduy to Russia. In 1997, Moldova struck an
agreement with Bulgaria allowing the transit, but as of June 1999, the Moldovan
parliament had not ratified the agreement.[1,2] Sources: [1] D. Zobkov, "Novosti dnya: eshelon s otrabotannym yadernym
