On January 24, 1994, the National Academy of Sciences released a major policy report recommending a comprehensive approach to the handling of the large stocks of weapons plutonium no longer needed with the end of the Cold War. The study, entitled "Management and Disposition of Excess Weapons Plutonium," presents detailed recommendations on a reciprocal U.S.-Russian plutonium regime, which would include: declarations on total inventories of weapons and fissile materials, monitored dismantlement of weapons, safeguarded interim storage of materials, and long-term disposal of excess plutonium either by vitrification into large logs with high-level waste or by use as fuel in existing reactors without future reprocessing. The report, which was originally requested by General Brent Scowcroft and subsequently supported by the Clinton administration, was conducted by the Academy's Committee on International Security and Arms Control (CISAC) as a special study project chaired by Professor Wolfgang Panofsky, and supported by a detailed analysis of reactor options by a separate panel, chaired by Professor John Holdren, chairman of CISAC. Relevant government agencies have been briefed on its recommendations. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 54572
