A Review Conference of the NPT was held by all treaty signatories in April and
May 2000. In the review Review Conference Final Document, all of the parties (including
the U.S.) agreed to "the following practical steps for the systematic and
progressive efforts to implement Article VI of the Treaty on the NonProliferation
of Nuclear Weapons................. An unequivocal undertaking by the nuclear
weapons States to accomplish the total elimination of their nuclear arsenals leading
to nuclear disarmament to which all States parties are committed under Article
VI." But, as explained above, through DOE's Stockpile Stewardship Program
the U.S. is acting in an entirely contrary fashion.
