RUSSIA SAID WILLING TO TAKE GEORGIAN URANIUM.

Sources at the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow is willing in principle to take back some 10 kilograms of highly enriched uranium that had been left in Georgia following the breakup of the USSR, but that "some complicated organizational and technical" problems remain to be solved. (See Monitor, January 6, 9) The sources said that the idea the uranium could be used to make an atomic bomb was "far-fetched." (ITAR-TASS, January 10)
