Dispute Over US Nuke In the Netherlands: Who Pays for an Accident?

Dispute Over US Nuke In the Netherlands: Who Pays for an Accident?: Only a few years before U.S. nuclear bombs deployed at Volkel Air Base in the Netherlands are scheduled to be airlifted back to the United States and replaced with an improved bomb with greater accuracy, the U.S. and Dutch governments are in a dispute over how to deal with the environmental consequences of a potential accident. The Dutch government wants environmental remediation to be discussed in the Netherlands United States Operational Group (NUSOG). The United States has refused, arguing that NUSOG is the wrong forum to discuss the issue and that environmental remediation is covered by the standard Status of Forces Agreement from 1951.http://blogs.fas.org/security/2013/08/volkelnukes/
