  • Ukraine Nuclear Fuel Cycle Chronology
    Ukraine Nuclear Fuel Cycle Chronology Last update: April 2005 This annotated chronology is based on the data sources that follow each entry. Public sources often provide conflicting information on classified military programs. In some cases we are unable to resolve these discrepancies, in others we have deliberately refrained from doing so to highlight the potential influence of false or misleading information as it appeared over time. In many cases, we are unable to independently verify claims. Hence in reviewing this chronology, readers should take into account the credibility of the sources employed here. Inclusion in this chronology does not necessarily indicate that a particular development is of direct or indirect proliferation significance. Some entries provide international or domestic context for technological development and national policymaking. Moreover, some entries may refer to developments with positive consequences for nonproliferation. 2003-1993 1 August 2003 KRASNOYARSK ADMINISTRATION WILL NOT ALLOW IMPORT OF UKRAINE'S SPENT FUEL UNTIL DEBT PAID On 1 August 2003, UNIAN reported that, according to Yuriy Lebedev, head of Russia's International Fuel and Energy Company, which is managing the import of spent nuclear fuel to Krasnoyarsk Kray for storage, the Krasnoyarsk administration will not allow new shipments of spent fuel from Ukraine for storage until Ukraine pays its $11.76 million debt for 2002 deliveries. —"Krasnoyarskiy kray otkazhetsya prinimat otrabotannoye yadernoye toplivo iz Ukrainy v sluchaye nepogasheniya 11.76 mln. dollarov dolga," UNIAN, 1 August 2003; in Integrum Techno, www.integrum.com. 28 February 2002 RUSSIAN REACTOR FUEL DELIVERIES TO COST $246 MILLION IN 2002 Yadernyye materialy reported on 28 February 2002 that Russian Minister of Atomic Energy Aleksandr Rumyantsev and Ukrainian Minister of Fuel and Energy Vitaliy Gayduk signed an agreement under which Ukraine will buy reactor fuel worth $246 million from Russia in 2002.

  • Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018
    Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018 Part 3B: Russia - Surface Ships & Non-propulsion Marine Nuclear Applications Peter Lobner July 2018 1 Foreword In 2015, I compiled the first edition of this resource document to support a presentation I made in August 2015 to The Lyncean Group of San Diego (www.lynceans.org) commemorating the 60th anniversary of the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by USS Nautilus on 17 January 1955. That presentation to the Lyncean Group, “60 years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955 – 2015,” was my attempt to tell a complex story, starting from the early origins of the US Navy’s interest in marine nuclear propulsion in 1939, resetting the clock on 17 January 1955 with USS Nautilus’ historic first voyage, and then tracing the development and exploitation of marine nuclear power over the next 60 years in a remarkable variety of military and civilian vessels created by eight nations. In July 2018, I finished a complete update of the resource document and changed the title to, “Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018.” What you have here is Part 3B: Russia - Surface Ships & Non-propulsion Marine Nuclear Applications. The other parts are: Part 1: Introduction Part 2A: United States - Submarines Part 2B: United States - Surface Ships Part 3A: Russia - Submarines Part 4: Europe & Canada Part 5: China, India, Japan and Other Nations Part 6: Arctic Operations 2 Foreword This resource document was compiled from unclassified, open sources in the public domain. I acknowledge the great amount of work done by others who have published material in print or posted information on the internet pertaining to international marine nuclear propulsion programs, naval and civilian nuclear powered vessels, naval weapons systems, and other marine nuclear applications.

  • Chapter 5 Iran
    Chapter 5 Iran “While there is currently consensus across the political spectrum with re- spect to the necessity of sustaining a nuclear research program, no such agree- ment is evident on the issue of actually crossing the nuclear weapons threshold.”– Ray Takeyh1 5.1 Introduction In the previous chapter, I discussed US counterproliferation policy toward the DPRK. I found that economic and military threats were only useful in a limited set of circumstances (only in the short term, and if credible), while social benefits were productive in a wider set (both in the short and long term). However, the conditions under which social strategies worked were also circumscribed. Due to repeated social snubs, the North Koreans had inverted their patterns of response to US strategies by the end of 2002, and subsequently took significant strides towards a nuclear capability. In this chapter, I test a similar set of hypotheses with respect to the Islamic Republic of Iran (hereafter Iran). Relative to the US strategy toward the DPRK, the US strategy toward Iran over three administrations has been relatively constant. Moreover, much of the US strategy has been indirect, attempting to convince other countries not to cooperate with Iran rather than negotiating directly with the Iranians. These attempts can be evaluated and 1Takeyh 2003. 153 154 CHAPTER 5. IRAN compared with what is known about Iran’s clandestine programs to determine the overall effects of US strategy on Iran’s nuclear program. Next to North Korea, during the post-Cold War period, Iran has probably come the closest to developing nuclear weapons, although (as I argue in this chapter) they are still some distance away from achieving success.
