I can't parse these two paragraphs:
"The proposal calls for half the batteries to be earmarked for NASA
projects and the rest for undisclosed national security purposes.
"The United States needs to produce plutonium because its stockpiles are
low and because an agreement with Russia prevents it from using
plutonium-238 produced there for security or defense applications,
according to DOE analyses."
If an agreement with Russia prevents using plutonium-238 for security
applications, how can they use the rest for "undisclosed national
security purposes".
