Russia: Foreign Assistance: Department of Energy Programs Overview Russia: Department of Energy Programs

This section provides information about the US Department of Energy (DOE) Programs to prevent nuclear proliferation in Russia and the other states of the former Soviet Union. The Materials Protection Control and Accounting Program (MPC&A) attempts to help Russia control and account for nuclear materials and technologies in its vast nuclear complex. The program is aimed at preventing the theft or diversion of nuclear materials from civilian laboratories and research institutes whose security systems, by Western standards, were very relaxed. The Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention Program (IPP) attempts to develop business partnerships to employ former weapons scientists in the production of civilian goods by joining weapons scientists and infrastructure in the NIS with Western capital. A third DOE program is currently being developed: the Nuclear Cities Initiative is a program to address the challenge of providing employment for those living in Russia's ten closed nuclear cities.
