US warns Russia not to touch American nuclear technology at Ukrainian nuclear plant

[onthedarkside]

 

The US has sensitive nuclear technology at a nuclear power plant inside Ukraine, and is warning Russia not to touch it, according to a letter the US Department of Energy sent to Russia’s state-owned nuclear energy firm Rosatom last month.

 

In the letter, which was reviewed by CNN and is dated March 17, 2023, the director of the Energy Department’s Office of Nonproliferation Policy, Andrea Ferkile, tells Rosatom’s director general that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Enerhodar, Ukraine “contains US-origin nuclear technical data that is export-controlled by the United States Government.” 

 

Goods, software and technology are subject to US export controls when it is possible for them to be used in a way that undermines US national security interests.

Talk about keeping things quiet.

Putin now thinking thanks I'll get my people to inspect.

Russian nuclear power technology is much more superior to the American one.

Yes, of course the U.S. wouldn't want anyone doing what they do, would they?!
For example using N#zi technology / scientists and medical discoveries after WWII et all.

You got anything to back that up? The Google machine neither supports nor refutes your post.

Reverse psychology perhaps. They've possibly found an excuse to get more involved

Oh my goodness, they may infringe a patent.

 

And what does the US intend to do if they DO touch the technology? Send them to bed without supper? Write a stern note to someone in charge?

I've noticed that politely worded requests have very little effect on Russia.

You beat me to it. Bleating impotently from far far away, LOL.

Perhaps they are going to send the green berets in to secure the technology and win the war.

Red herring me thinks ????

I see, now it is important to send American troops to that nuclear plant to safe guard all of America's nuclear infrastructure.

While you're at it stay away from the bio labs if you find any!
