1. (U) THIS IS AN ACTION REQUEST. Please see para 4.
2. (C) Head of MFA's Department for International Security
Sanja Bujas-Juraga requested USG guidance from EconOff
November 28 regarding renewal of a services export license
for Croatian nuclear scientists to offer technical training
in "Symptom-Oriented Emergency Procedures" to the Chashma
Nuclear Power Plant in Kundian, Pakistan (reftels). In ref
A, the Department provided guidance that U.S. policy has been
to only assist Pakistan's nuclear program with information
and technology that is already publicly available. In this
case, the GoC was satisfied that this training only involved
technology and materials that were already available in the
Chashma complex and approved the license.
3. (C) This services export license is now up for renewal.
According to Bujas-Juraga, the technology and training
involved in the project remain unchanged, but given recent
events, she wanted to ensure that USG views on this issue
have not evolved since 2006.
4. (C) ACTION REQUEST: Post requests Department guidance by 7
December on any recent changes to USG policy regarding
nuclear technology assistance to Pakistan in order to respond
to the GoC's inquiry regarding its consideration of renewal
of this license. END ACTION REQUEST.
