Summary
This order ends the national emergency in Executive Order 13617 about the risk of nuclear proliferation from a large volume of weapons‑usable fissile material in the Russian Federation and revokes that order. It finds the situation changed by implementation of the February 18, 1993 U.S.-Russia agreement on disposition of highly enriched uranium.
