Work at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) was supported by the DOE Office of Basic Energy Sciences and by the LANL Laboratory Directed Research and Development program. LANL is operated by Los Alamos National Security, LLC, for the National Nuclear Security Administration of the US DOE under Contract No. DE-AC52-06NA25396. Work at University of Toledo was supported by NSF grant DMR-0606307. 

In the period to 2010, it is anticipated that the emphasis will be toward the program areas of nuclear security, nuclear submarine dismantlement and the management of hazardous waste. The nuclear submarine dismantlement program is expected to be well advanced by 2010, and both technology gaps and infrastructure will have been largely addressed by this time. The areas of cooperation over the period to 2015, are expected to focus on environmental sustainability, safety and security of military activities. 

One of the primary concerns that precipitated the creation of the Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) Nuclear Cities Initiative (NCI) and Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (IPP) was that destitute individuals in the nuclear weapons research and production complex would feel compelled to sell their knowledge to obtain funds to enable their families to survive." Similar concerns contributed to the creation of programs to support individuals involved in research and production of biological and chemical weapons. Since the assessment in this report runs counter to commonly held impressions of the Russian economy, the evidence behind our conclusions is laid out in some detail.
