MOSCOW, November 25 (RIA Novosti) - A delegation from the United States State Energy Department will arrive in Georgia December 9, a spokesperson for the Georgian Interior Ministry said Friday.
Eka Gigauri, deputy chairman of the ministry's border department, said an agreement on U.S.-Georgian cooperation to prevent the smuggling of nuclear and other radioactive materials was scheduled to be signed during the visit.
Under cooperation agreements, the U.S. will gradually equip all of Georgia's border checkpoints with detectors to identify radioactive and other prohibited materials. State-of-the-art equipment will be installed at three checkpoints during the first stage.
