UN Watchdog, U.S. Want to Clean Up Atomic ‘Mess’
Washington D.C. - The head of the U.N. atomic watchdog said on Thursday the United States would help it clean up all the weapons-grade nuclear material spread across the globe to keep it from being used in bombs.
International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei met with Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham to follow up on discussions he had with President Bush on Wednesday.
ElBaradei told reporters after the meeting at the Department of Energy that he and Abraham discussed a number of issues, particularly a plan to clean up highly enriched uranium and plutonium still in civilian sites.
