Report: US mistakenly reveals civilian nuclear sites
Jun 3, 2009, 11:42 GMT
Washington - The US government has mistakenly published a 'highly confidential' report with information about civilian nuclear sites and programmes, The New York Times reported online late Tuesday.
The 266-page document, which reportedly also contained maps showing the location of fuel stockpiles for nuclear weapons, was published on the Government Printing Office website after the White House had sent it to Congress for review.
The Times said the document was withdrawn from the website after it inquired about it. Its publication also triggered discussion Monday, when it first appeared, inside the scientific community about possible dangers ofdthe disclosures.
US President Barack Obama had sent the document, which was marked 'highly confidential' but not classified, to Congress in early May for review before it was to be sent to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, the UN nuclear watchdog.
It's not clear how the document arrived at the printing office, the Times reported.
The report contained no military information about the stockpile of nuclear arms or defence systems protecting them. It listed all the sites of the civilian nuclear reactors and weapon laboratories.
The document was first noted by Steven Aftergood, a security expert at the Federation of American Scientists in Washington, who called it a 'one-stop shot' for information on US nuclear systems, the Times reported. He noted the publication in his newsletter, Secrecy News.

Let me guess,you blame Obama ?
Too open !!
..I to use the same criteria applied to Bush, the answer would be 'yes'.
What do you mean ?You seem to lack sense ...You should perhaps clarify ,in this case some webmaster obviously made a mistake and you blame Obama,what does this have to do with Bush,which examples do you have in mind for your claim regarding Bush being wrongfully targeted ?Did the same webmaster invade Iraq perhaps ?Please clarify or prepare to look like the village idiot again.
Yes that must be it,you claim the white House webmaster invaded Iraq and Bush took the blame .Why didn't I think of that...sp4 you are a genius.
was labeled 'confidential,' not 'secret' or 'top secret' or 'drop dead before reading.' All this stuff is in the public domain. All you have to do is some research. We all know that the only thing SP researches is how to grow a better illicit crop.
I'm surprised SP4 didn't blame Bill Clinton for it ... or more appropriately Al Gore.
Because if Al Gore didn't invent the internet, then there'd be no place for this mistake to happen ... and of course without the 'internets' as Bush calls it, we wouldn't be exposed to SP1/4 inch penis's dribble.
That he did, is an invention of Al Gore's, and a Web Myth. The Internet was invented in the late 1950s to the 1970s by a group of researchers and scientists at the Advanced Research Projects Agency. Al Gore was not one of them.
As for SP's medical problem, there is a simple solution. Cut the damned thing off with a dull ax and then cauterize the wound with a red hot branding iron.
It's all part of the vast communist oriented conspiracy to destroy the US; planned by the unpatriotic effeminite extreme libnazis and their islamofascist terrorist pals who control the ultra extreme biassed MSM, and now, even the Whitehouse, though I should properly say,the Darkhouse.
And although you MSM brainwashed pervets don't want to hear it, it don't make me wrong to say it.
Better, spas, better. Keep it short. Keep it pithy!
Hey man take a deep breath.
It was a joke.
We all know that AL Gore didn't invent the internet(s).
The intention was to use SP1/4 of a man's predictable and repetitive nonsense of casting blame at ridiculous places, to make fun of him.
Geesh.
...Al Gore didn't invent the Internet! He just said he did.
What's happened to old Al? With Barak in, he's kinda out of a job...
Last week Al Gore spend more on wine than you are worth. Because of his intelligence (something that you and your supporters lack) Al has more money that you could even dream of having. Difference between him and your hero (Bush), Al earned his.
...he inherited it. Tell us professor...how does a lifetime public official become rich?
Do the math.
Then..try and find out about the chinese campaign funds scandal and old Al's brief cases.
Bought wine???? What the f--k is that about?
