1. (SBU/NF) ESTHOff delivered reftel to relevant contacts in
the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and UK Department
of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) on October 15. Steve
Walsgrove, Assistant Director of the Nuclear Unit at DECC,
told ESTHOff on October 16 that HMG is "joined up" with the
United States on the proposed International Nuclear Energy
Framework (INEF). Walsgrove said HMG supports simplifying
the Statement of Principles of the Global Nuclear Energy
Partnership (GNEP) and replacing it with the mission
statement suggested for the INEF. The INEF appears to be a
more "inclusive" way forward, he added, to address issues
concerning the nuclear fuel cycle. FCO Nuclear Issues Team
Leader Nick Low told ESTHOff he defers to DECC, which has the
lead on the GNEP/INEF issue.
2. (SBU/NF) Walsgrove told ESTHOff that Secretary of DECC Ed
Miliband is unable to attend the Global Nuclear Energy
Partnership (GNEP) Executive Committee Meeting in Beijing
October 23. Mel Draper, Director of the Nuclear Unit at
DECC, will lead the delegation, along with Steve Walsgrove,
representing HMG.
