Non-Proliferation: Secret No More
 With
the dawn of the post-Cold War era, the nuclear weapon facilities
in the United States and Russia have established new and more cooperative
working relationships with each other. U. S. scientists and engineers
routinely communicate with and visit colleagues in Russia's secret
cities. Presently there are a number of collaborative science and
technology exchanges underway between these former foes. The two
nations are working together to contain the spread of nuclear weapons
and to ensure that the remaining nuclear weapons held by both nations
are maintained with the highest levels of safety and security. In
addition, there are several programs that are designed to adapt
the technologies developed for military purposes to appropriate
civilian applications. The following information symbolizes this
new era of peace and cooperation.
