Russia suspends plutonium accordss

USA signed an agreement with Russia, but violated it. That's why Russia is suspending it now. Russia is tired to be cheated, that's all. I doubt your Media reports you about that.

The reprocessing deal was ratified in 2000 and involved Russia and the US disposing of excessive plutonium by fabricating nuclear plant fuel from it and transmuting it in a reactor.

The US later decided that the process was too costly and that it would rather mix its plutonium with special dilutants and store it indefinitely.

Moscow sees that as a gross breach of the deal, saying the US could potentially restore the fissile material.

Remember, how Reagan "promised" Gorbachev, that NATO wouldn't be moved farther to the East? Now it's next to Russia's borders.
