Kazakhstan needs $12 million to eliminate biological-weapons plant

Kazakhstan needs 12m dollars to eliminate biological-weapons plant
Text of report in English by Russian news agency Interfax
Almaty, 19 April: Kazakhstan needs about 12m dollars to completely destroy
the former pilot plant in the central city of Stepnogorsk where biological
weapons used to be made, Gennadiy Lepeshkin, director general of the
National Biotechnology Centre told Interfax in Almaty on Thursday.
The construction of the plant started in 1982. Eight years later all
activities in the manufacture and testing of biological weapons were
stopped. The subsequent dismantling of the plant's equipment was financed
by the US Department of Defence, which allocated nearly 2m dollars for
that purpose.
To make sure that no pathogenic organisms remain on the walls, the germ
fermentation building, the germ feeding installation, the preparation
drying building and equipment where preparations were encapsulated and
missiles assembled must be destroyed, Lepeshkin said. A clean spot must
remain where the buildings now are, he said. The US Defence Department was
supposed to provide the funds for the destruction but last year the
Americans refused to provide them, he said.
With the advent of a new administration, the Americans have said that they
are prepared to continue talks on financing the destruction of the
facilities, Lepeshkin said. The agenda of an assistant secretary of state
who will stay in Kazakhstan on 21-23 April includes talks with Kazakh
officials on financing the destruction of the former biological weapons of
mass destruction plant, he said.
