Conclusions

11.

To sum up, INl'C! must not be a.llowed to become a vehicle tor the dissemi:!ation or in!omation which would assist a NNw-S to a.chi.eve a IIUClea.r weapons capability or o! cla.ssi!ied Defence in!or.::ation.

To achieve this:

1 (a) no !.ntor.:a.tion relevant to the design ot explosive =lea:: devices must be revealed. in O'!)ftll pu.blic:a.tions or !21FCE discussions; this ciea.r.s, ir.ter alia tha. t the teclmoloQ" of ICF ::ust be 'w1 thlleld; (b) in!o:::i:ation on the technolog!es for producing u.-anium-235 and 233 must not be released; nor =st in!'or.na.tion on isoto'!)e sepa..-a.tion (1) a::d, wh~re not &1.;-,aey :!)Ublished or comprcmised, on new or adva.nced tech.~ologies for producing or processing nuclear materials (2) or on advaneed reactor con-cepts and a.ccel9rator-breeder systems suitable for the production of miclta.r materials;

( c) a r-i:1er.a.l sta tament needs preparing of the q,Janti ties of the various tr,:e s o! nuclea: material (2) whicil are insig:li!icant !rem a na.tion state pro-

µ!eration vievpoint:

this statement silould. i:ldicate the degree of con-trol which thould be exercised by th9 international sa!egua...-ds system ever these ma.tetials (this :uy be the same as tha.t al.:eady exercised by the IA.EA):

until such a list is produced the insienilicant q'll.U}t.i ties should be those given !or the Rest--icted category i::I Part ;, Table 1.

( d) no detailed info=ation should be released on anti-te:::::-orlst sec=i ":.y precautions; (e) all coccerned should re!:ai!l != a.ttem;rting to l.!.st (3) or q~ti!y the proli!eration ri.slc.s associated with the va.:ious pba.ses of the :ruclear fuel cycle; (t') all cla.ssi!ied De!acce in!o:r:ma.tion aiust be vi thheld.

Notes:

(1) Isotope sepa...-ati on technology-development:s a.:e classi!ied ( see Pa.--t 1,

~ph 10(!) ) a.nd. =ema.in so except when a deliberate decision has 'cee, '

made that a s;,eci!ic topic is unclassi!ied.

All isotope se!)&.--::i.tion technologies, unless alreaey openly published or compromised a..-e include*

and. particular attention mu.st be paid to those dea..li:lg -1th elements of Z= 6 or ot z>ao.

(2) The impor-"..ant =lear materials in tils NPl' context are plutonium, 233 u:i:imium, 235 uranium a.nd. tritium.
