  • 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).

1. (SBU) SUMMARY.  On April 27 President Putin signed a decree that 
splits the Russian nuclear industry into three parts:  a) civilian, 
for-profit; b) military; and c) waste management.  The decree is the 
first practical step in effecting massive changes in the structure, 
management, and forms of ownership of practically all nuclear 
industry enterprises in Russia.  It lays the groundwork for creation 
of the Atomenergoprom civilian nuclear monopoly and, more 
importantly, identifies those entities that will be included in 
Atomenergoprom and those that will not.  END SUMMARY 
 
--------------------------------------------- --- 
AEK (aka ATOMENERGOPROM) -- CIVILIAN, FOR PROFIT 
--------------------------------------------- --- 
 
2. (SBU) On April 27 President Putin signed a decree "On 
Restructuring the Nuclear and Energy Industry Complex of the Russian 
Federation."  This decree splits the Russian nuclear industry into 
three parts:  civilian, for-profit; military; and waste management. 
The decree follows from nuclear sector legislation enacted by the 
Duma earlier this year (refs A and B) and is the first practical 
step in effecting massive changes throughout Russia's nuclear 
industry. 
 
3. (SBU) In accordance with the decree, the Open Joint Stock Company 
Atomniy Energopromishlennii Kompleks (AEK) will be created with 
headquarters in Moscow.  AEK, popularly known as Atomenergoprom, 
will bring together the following enterprises: 
 
-- All enterprises involved in the fuel cycle from uranium ore 
exploration up through fuel assembly production (i.e., those 
enterprises that previously reported to TVEL); 
 
-- All uranium enrichment facilities; 
 
-- All nuclear power plants; 
 
-- Some machine building factories; and 
 
-- Design, scientific, and infrastructural institutes and firms 
(including TENEX) working on peaceful uses on nuclear energy 
 
In all AEK will consist of 86 sub-entities that make up the civilian 
sector of Russia's reorganized nuclear industry.  Although some of 
these entities are involved in R&D, the primary focus is on profit. 
 
4. (SBU) One hundred percent of AEK shares will belong to the State. 
 Those AEK sub-entities that formerly were federal unitary 
enterprises are converted into joint stock companies.  The Russian 
Government will convert all property (including nuclear materials) 
belonging to these sub-enterprises into ??? charter capital. 
 
5. (SBU) The decree specifies that AEK's priorities are: 
 
-- The design, construction, operation, and decommissioning of 
nuclear installations and nuclear power plants; 
 
-- R&D on peaceful uses of nuclear energy; 
 
-- Prospecting for and extraction of uranium ore and ore containing 
nuclear materials; 
 
-- Uranium enrichment; 
 
-- Fuel assembly production and export; 
 
-- Uranium import and export, enrichment services, and other 
products and services connected with the use of nuclear energy. 
 
-------- 
MILITARY 
-------- 
 
6. (SBU) In addition to creating AEK, the decree identifies those 
enterprises that will NOT be included in AEK.  First among these are 
15 enterprises serving the needs of Russia's military nuclear 
complex.  This list includes all warhead production facilities, 
Mayak, the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute for 
Experimental Physics (VNIIEF) in Sarov, the All-Russian Scientific 
Research Institute for Technical Physics (VNIITF) in Snezhinsk, the 
test site at Novaya Zemlya, and other R&D institutes. 
 
7. (SBU) The military nuclear facilities will remain state owned and 
 
MOSCOW 00002187  002 OF 002 
 
 
will continue to report directly to Rosatom as in the past. 
 
-------------------------------- 
SNF STORAGE AND WASTE MANAGEMENT 
-------------------------------- 
 
8. (SBU) Those facilities concerned with the storage of spent 
nuclear fuel (e.g. the Mining Chemical Combine in Zheleznogorsk) and 
radioactive waste management (e.g., Dal RAO in Murmansk oblast' and 
Sev Rao in the Far East) also will not be included in AEK. 
Moreover, they were not covered by the presidential decree. 
 
9. (SBU) Sergey Mostinskiy, adviser to Deputy Rosatom Head Andrey 
Malyshev, explained to us that these enterprises will be included in 
the soon to be established Federal Center for Nuclear and Radiation 
Safety, which will be created by internal Rosatom executive order. 
This Center will receive its funding directly from the state 
budget. 
 
--------- 
OWNERSHIP 
--------- 
 
10. (SBU) Significantly, the presidential decree also establishes 
for the first time that legal entities have the right to own nuclear 
materials (with the exception of weapons grade materials and 
actinides).  The decree provides a list of the entities that will 
have this right, from which we see that they are in fact those same 
entities that possess nuclear materials today. 
 
------- 
COMMENT 
------- 
 
11. (SBU) The presidential decree was announced one day after 
President Putin made his annual address to the Federal Assembly in 
which he said, "I propose setting up a corporation to integrate 
nuclear power enterprises operating on domestic and foreign 
markets."  The decree sets in motion the reorganization expected 
since the Duma passed nuclear sector legislation earlier this year. 
We are already hearing hints of dramatic personnel shifts at Rosatom 
and elsewhere.
