Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Funding Profile by Subprogram, 2007 Request

An excerpt from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) FY 2007 Congressional Budget Request1 shows funds for the Russia-United States cooperative program to upgrade security of ionizing radiation sources included under Global Threat Reduction Initiative, below.

DEFENSE NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION

Threat and Response: The convergence of heightened terrorist activities and the ease of moving materials, technology, and information across borders has made the potential of terrorism involving weapons of mass destruction (WMD) the most serious threat facing the Nation. Preventing WMD from falling into the hands of terrorists is the top national security priority of this Administration. The FY 2007 budget request for Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation represents an effort to protect the United States (U.S.) and its allies from this threat.

The International Atomic Energy Agency reports numerous incidents of illicit trafficking in radioactive materials, including ionizing radiation sources (IRSs) used in medical, agricultural, and industrial applications. This report assesses the threats posed by inadequately protected IRSs in Russia and recommends steps to enhance the effectiveness of DOE's current cooperative program with Russia. These continuing DOE's current program of quick security fixes and developing a comprehensive plan to work with Russian counterparts to reduce overall risk, within the context of a comprehensive Russian program for ensuring adequate life-cycle management of IRSs.
