The United States and Russia reportedly will sign an agreement that will finalize the 2000 Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement (PMDA). Although the deal has been described as a "breakthrough", it appears to confirm the agreement reached in November 2007 that allows Russia to use its BN-600 and BN-800 fast reactors to burn the excess weapon grade plutonium and commits the United States to providing $400 million toward funding the program. The first $100 million of that money were included in the FY2011 budget request.
