The risk that unemployed weapons scientists in the former Soviet Union will sell sensitive information to countries or terrorist groups trying to develop weapons of mass destruction poses a national security threat to the U.S. This report reviews the Dept. of Energy’s (DoE) implementation of its Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention program -- an effort to develop nonmilitary applications for defense technologies & create jobs for weapons scientists. The report also discusses DoE’s Nuclear Cities Initiative -- a new effort to create jobs in Russia’s 10 closed nuclear cities. This report contains several recommendations to the Secretary of Energy. Charts & tables.
