MOSCOW, APR 24 (AP) - Russia has exported recycled uranium worth dlrs 2 billion to the United States since the two countries signed a deal in 1993 to reduce Russia's nuclear arsenal, a news report said Monday.

 

The 20-year contract, worth about dlrs 11 billion, calls for Russia to export 500 metric tons of recycled uranium from scrapped weapons to the United States. So far, about 80 tons have been sent, according to the ITAR-Tass news agency.

 

The deal was a cornerstone of American attempts to get Russia to dispose of nuclear weapons material and preventing it falling into the hands of terrorists or other groups seeking nuclear weapons.
