  Washington – Mexico is saying it will work with the United States and Canada to convert its highly enriched uranium reactor, removing the potential bomb-making materials.
 
  The agreement is being announced at the 47-nation Nuclear Security Summit called by President Barack Obama to refocus world attention on the dangers of nuclear materials reaching terrorist hands.
 
  The move is a step toward Mexico's conversion to a reactor that operates on low enriched uranium, a lesser danger for weapons use.
