Moniz Quoted in Noēma on “Megatons to Megawatts” Deal With Russia


Noēma analyzed the impact and lessons from the United States’ post-Cold War deal with Russia to manage highly enriched uranium. The project, dubbed “Megatons to Megawatts” by the media, turned a massive quantity of weapons-grade uranium into fuel pellets for nuclear reactors. In 2013, then-U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest J. Moniz called it “one of the most successful nuclear nonproliferation partnerships ever undertaken.”
