Russian Transition Initiatives (RTI)

The Russian Transition Initiatives (RTI) comprised two complementary but distinct components – the Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (IPP) and the Nuclear Cities Initiative (NCI). IPP was established in 1994 with the specific goal of preventing the spread of weapons technologies and expertise by engaging former-Soviet weapon scientists in applied research projects having commercial potential. The goals of NCI were to assist Russia’s closed nuclear cities in creating sustainable, alternative nonweapons employment for displaced weapons workers and in removing functions and equipment from weapons facilities and reducing their physical footprint; thereby facilitating the irreversible, transparent downsizing of the Russian nuclear weapons complex.
