Reducing the nuclear dangers from the former Soviet Union

Article Abstract:

The breakup of the USSR, with its vast stockpile of nuclear weapons, has aggravated the risk of nuclear proliferation. The dissolution of the former Soviet command and control system increases the possibility of nuclear weapons or weapons technology being transferred outside the region. To prevent these, the US must help ensure that control of the former Soviet nuclear arsenal remain with Russia alone. Similarly, Commonwealth of Independent States' members should be made to abide with arms control and non-proliferation obligations entered into by the former USSR.
