1. (U) Updating and correcting remarks reported ref A para 4, IAEA
group leader in the innovative reactor technology project Randy
Beatty (U.S. cost free expert) confirmed to UNVIE that IAEA
DDG/Nuclear Energy Sokolov had been communicating directly with the
GNEP Steering Group Chair, DoE DAS McGinnis, and that most if not
all of Sokolov's comments had been incorporated already in the draft
Joint Statement. Per Beatty, Sokolov supports the continuation of
this activity and in general feels that the new "framework" can add
value.


2. (SBU) Beatty added that Sokolov may not fully appreciate the
reasons for changing the brand name and would like to have more
discussion on how INEF will be different and substantial enough to
justify the Ministerial meetings, which in Sokolov's view was one of
the key features of the old GNEP that made it interesting.
