From the publication:
Overview of the Cooperative Safety Work The U.S. Department of Energy conducts a comprehensive, cooperative effort to reduce risks at Soviet-designed nuclear power plants. In the host countries- Armenia, Ukraine, Russia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, Slovakia, and Kazakhstan-joint projects are correcting major safety deficiencies and establishing nuclear safety infrastructures that will be self-sustaining. The joint efforts originated from U.S. commitments made at the G-7 conference in 1992. Amid heightened international concern about Soviet-designed reactors, world leaders agreed to collaborate with host countries to reduce risks at the older reactors. Since that time, U.S. efforts have expanded to include urgently needed safety work at 20 nuclear power plants with 65 operating reactors. The work is conducted in cooperation with similar programs initiated by Western European countries, Canada, and Japan, as well as international organizations such as the Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
