The Megatons to Megawatts program involves using highly enriched uranium from dismantled Russian nuclear warheads as fuel for U.S. nuclear power plants. The program was established in 1993 and ended in 2013, and converted 20,000 Russian nuclear warheads into low-enriched uranium, which was then used to produce about 10% of the electricity in the United States. The program was successful in providing fuel for nuclear power plants while also reducing the number of nuclear weapons in the world.
