US Declares Nuclear Sites to the IAEA
The List of Sites, Locations, Facilities, and Activities Declared
to the International Atomic Energy Agency
A compilation of hundreds of U.S. nuclear sites and activities that
were to be declared to the International Atomic Energy Agency by
the United States was transmitted to Congress last month by
President Barack
Obama.
"The enclosed draft declaration lists each site, location,
facility, and activity I intend to declare to the IAEA, and
provides a detailed description of such sites, locations,
facilities, and activities, and the provisions of the U.S.-IAEA
Additional Protocol under which they would be declared," the
President wrote. "Each site, location, facility, and activity would
be declared in order to meet the obligations of the United States
of America with respect to these provisions."
"The IAEA classification of the enclosed declaration is 'Highly
Confidential Safeguards Sensitive'," the President noted in his May
5, 2009 transmittal letter, "however, the United States regards
this information as 'Sensitive but Unclassified'."
But sensitive or not, the draft declaration was promptly published
by the Government Printing Office, writes Secrecy News from the
Federation of American Scientists.
