The HEU Agreement (also known as the Megatons to Megawatts Program) was a bilateral agreement between the United States and Russia that aimed to reduce the risk of nuclear proliferation by converting 500 metric tons of weapons-grade highly enriched uranium (HEU) from dismantled nuclear warheads into low-enriched uranium (LEU) for use in commercial nuclear reactors. This agreement helped to reduce the amount of weapons-grade uranium that could potentially be diverted or stolen and used for nefarious purposes.
