This report addresses consequences of current and proposed restrictions on international contacts by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) national laboratories and explores methods of best serving national security through positive new scientific advances facilitated by international communication among scientists, through scientific contacts to further non-proliferation, and through careful protection of crucial classified information from foreign espionage. The report summarizes a symposium that examined: the role of the DOE's national laboratories in national security and the contributions by foreign laboratories and scientists, proposals for amending security policies of the weapons laboratories in regard to contact with foreign laboratories and scientists, and the risks and benefits of scientific openness in this context. Finally, the report reviews current policies and proposals designed to enhance security at the weapons laboratories, primarily those related to restrictions on foreign contacts by DOE scientists.

The risk that unemployed weapons scientists in the former Soviet Union will sell sensitive information to countries or terrorist groups trying to develop weapons of mass destruction poses a national security threat to the U.S. This report reviews the Dept. of Energy's (DoE) implementation of its Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention program -- an effort to develop nonmilitary applications for defense technologies and create jobs for weapons scientists. The report also discusses DoE's Nuclear Cities Initiative -- a new effort to create jobs in Russia's 10 closed nuclear cities. This report contains several recommendations to the Secretary of Energy. Tables.

In 1998, the U.S. and Russia embarked on an ambitious nonproliferation program, known as the Nuclear Cities Initiative (NCI), to create sustainable job opportunities for weapons scientists in Russia's closed nuclear cities, and to help Russia accelerate the downsizing of its nuclear weapons complex. NCI, implemented by the DoE and its nat. labs., seeks to employ weapons scientists and other residents of the cities in non-military scientific or commercial activities. This report discusses the: costs to implement NCI, incl. the amount spent in the U.S. and Russia, as well as planned expenditures; impact of the Dept.'s NCI projects; and status of the European Nuclear Cities Initiative.
