If you’re a terrorist in search of current information on US Nuclear holdings and locations, you may just be out of luck.
The NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) has suspended its on-line library for several weeks to remove potentially sensitive information from its Web site due to security concerns. They do however point out that no classified material is now or ever has been on its Web site.
Spokesman Scott Burnell said, “We have to balance two competing interests — national security (versus) the public right to know if radioactive materials are being used. We need to find the balancing point to allow the public to know these activities are going on but not allow that information to be used by our adversaries.” Reuters article here.
