From the Wikipedia page:
"US president Barack Obama canceled construction of the agreement-supporting US MOX fuel fabrication facility in 2016, citing cost overruns and for financial reasons proposing instead that for the US share of plutonium, it be diluted with non-radioactive material and disposed in the underground WIPP facility.[9][10] However, the dilution could be reversed, and the material reconverted into weapons-grade plutonium.[9]
On October 3, 2016, Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered the agreement to be suspended because the US did not meet its obligations.[11]"
Great! <sarcastic>
OK, well, maybe we do what Elon Musk proposed and send all of our nukes to Mars, blow them up and start an atmosphere?
The fact that the world "leaders" can't come-up with a way to de-nuke the planet is further evidence that politicians --world-wide-- are not the best and the brightest among us.
Don't get me started on that tangent.
