Viewing cable 07ANKARA512, BRIEFINGS ON ILLICIT TRAFFICKING AND REVIEW OF

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #07ANKARA512.

SUBJECT: BRIEFINGS ON ILLICIT TRAFFICKING AND REVIEW OF 
FORENSIC TESTS 
 
REF: A. 2006 STATE 165380 
     B. 2006 STATE 179792 
 
1. (SBU) Summary;  Two nuclear smuggling and forensics 
experts from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory conducted 
a nuclear smuggling workshop for members of the Turkish 
National Police (TNP).  They also met with Turkish Atomic 
Energy Authority (TAEK) scientists at the Cekmece Nuclear 
Research Center to discuss additional tests which were 
conducted on the low enriched uranium (LEU) was seized by the 
Turkish National Police in August 2005.  Turkish authorities 
provided results for 4 of the 5 requested tests and engaged 
in a detailed discussion of the results.  TAEK requested 
additional consultations following the complete analysis of 
the results by U.S. experts.  End Summary. 
 
2. (SBU) Two nuclear smuggling experts from Lawrence 
Livermore National Laboratory, Dr. David Smith and Dr. 
Zachary Koenig, traveled to Turkey from February 25 to March 
3, 2007 in support of increased bilateral cooperation against 
nuclear smuggling.  The visit began with a two-day workshop 
in Ankara for 38 Turkish National Police (TNP) officials from 
30 field offices throughout Turkey.  This workshop was part 
of TNP efforts to raise the awareness of its field officers 
to the increasing threat from illicit nuclear trafficking and 
to build on cooperation with the USG (ref a).  The U.S. 
experts provided non-technical briefings on current nuclear 
smuggling threats and countermeasures.  The information was 
well received by the participants and, following the 
workshop, the TNP leadership recommended this event be held 
annually to exchange experiences. 
 
3. (SBU) Smith, Koenig and EXBS Advisor met February 28 with 
TAEK President Okay Cakiroglu to discuss areas of cooperation 
in nuclear forensics and the team's visit to the Cekmece 
Nuclear Research Center.  Smith outlined the advances that 
have occurred in nuclear forensics and how cooperation 
between the USG and TAEK is helping to answer questions 
concerning the origin of the LEU seized by the TNP in August 
2005.  Smith and Cakiroglu agreed that working discussions 
between scientists are very beneficial in the identification 
of nuclear items and the disruption of smuggling activities. 
Cakiroglu apologized for the delay in providing the results 
of the tests requested by the USG (ref B), stated that TAEK 
scientists had been dealing with a number of high priority 
issues.  Finally, Cakiroglu informed us that a criminal court 
examining the LEU smuggling case had requested to examine the 
LEU sample on March 2. 
 
4.  (SBU) Smith, Koenig and EXBS Advisor met with Dr. Sevket 
Can, Director of the Cekmece Nuclear Research and Training 
Center.  Can discussed the additional LEU test results which 
were made available to Smith and Koenig.  Additionally, Can 
had made arrangements for a sample of the LEU to be observed 
under a scanning electron microscope outfitted with an image 
and energy dispersive analyzer.  After discussion of the 
observations, the USG scientists stated that the new data 
will greatly assist in the determination of the most likely 
origin of this LEU sample.  Can requested a copy of any 
information we develop to facilitate the interpretation of 
data collected from the additional test. 
 
5.  (SBU) The following is the current status of the 
additional test results requested by the USG: 
 
a.  X-ray diffraction test- Results were provided during 
March 2 visit to Cekmece. 
 
b.  Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy 
(SEM)- Result provided in late January and forwarded. 
Additional test were performed during visit on March 2. 
 
c.  Trace Element analysis (including U-235 isotopic 
enrichment)- Results were provided during March 2 visit. 
 
d.  Age dating of LEU- This test cannot be performed due to 
the limited availability of isotopic standards at Cekmece. 
 
e.  Transmission Electron Microscopy- These results are still 
pending. A field emission scanning electron microscope will 
be used in place of a transmission electron microscope.  The 
equipment was being repaired and will be operational later in 
March. 
 
6.  (SBU) Comment: Government of Turkey cooperation in these 
technical level events was outstanding.  The participation of 
30 TNP field offices in the workshop demonstrates TNP's 
commitment to increase officers' awareness of the nuclear 
smuggling problem.  TAEK's openness in sharing information 
concerning the seized LEU and preparing a sample in the 
electron microscope for observation is indicative of TAEK's 
 
desire to increase U.S. - Turkish scientist-to-scientist 
cooperation.  Turkey appears intent on establishing a robust 
national program in nuclear forensics data analysis and 
interpretation, and would like to partner with the U.S. in 
this endeavor.  End Comment.
