The United States contributes approximately $1 billion to $1.3 billion annually to nuclear dismantlment and security projects in Russia. Nearly half of this funding is accounted for by the US Defence Department’s Co-operative Threat Reduction (CTR) program, which began in 1992. after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, with the goal of neutralising ex-Soviet weapons of mass destruction. Among these items are ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs), bombers, inter-continental ballistic missiles, nuclear war-heads, missile silos and launchers, and chemical weapons.

Nu blijkt dus dat het geld niet altijd naar ontmanteling gaat maar soms ook naar het veilig bewaren van de kernkoppen in silo, waarbij deze laatste alsnog onder militaire controle blijven.
