I thought I’d mention that NPEC released full text of a non-paper titled “International Finance and Investment for Nuclear Power Projects in Developing Countries: Implementation of the U.S.-Russia Declaration on Nuclear Energy and Nonproliferation,” (available here) which was apparently circulated by U.S. officials at the Bush-Putin Sochi meeting in April. The non-paper, which is undated, but seems to have been written between July 2007 and February 2008, makes for quite an interesting read.

Full text of the July 2007 U.S.-Russia Declaration on Nuclear Energy and Nonproliferation: Joint Actions is available here. Since we are on the subject, I should note that I found the text of the Sochi Strategic Framework Declaration quite positive in the sense that the White House promised to “work to bring into force” the U.S.-Russian bilateral nuclear cooperation agreement. We’ll just have to wait and see…
