I thought I’d mention that “NPEC”:http://www.npec-web.org 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”:http://www.npec-web.org/Frameset.asp?PageType=Single&PDFFile=00000000-NonPaper-IntlFinanceInvestment&PDFFolder=Essays) 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”:http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/07/20070703.html. Since we are on the subject, I should note that I found the text of the Sochi “Strategic Framework Declaration”:http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/04/print/20080406-4.html 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…
