Obama resubmits with Congress U.S.-Russia peaceful nuclear deal

U.S. President Barack Obama has revived a civil nuclear agreement with Russia by resubmitting it for consideration with the Congress after Washington froze the deal almost two years ago.

Former U.S. President George Bush withdrew the deal, signed in Moscow on May 6, 2008, from U.S. Congress in September of the same year, following Russia's brief war with American ally Georgia over its former republic of South Ossetia.

In a letter addressed to U.S. lawmakers Obama said "I am pleased to transmit my written approval of the proposed Agreement and determination that the proposed Agreement will promote, and will not constitute an unreasonable risk to, the common defense and security."

The U.S. president added that the situation in Russia's North Caucasus and Georgia no longer obstructs the agreement.

"The situation in Georgia need no longer be considered an obstacle to proceeding with the proposed Agreement; and that the level and scope of U.S.-Russia cooperation on Iran are sufficient to justify resubmitting the proposed Agreement to the Congress," he said.

The agreement would open up possibilities for widespread commercial nuclear trade, technology exchange, and joint nuclear research between Washington and Moscow. It would also clear the way for Russia to make headway with importing and storing spent nuclear fuel from U.S.-supplied reactors - a highly profitable business.
