SUBJECT: LETTER FROM MOST VM THANG TO NNSA BIENIAWSKI 
 
REF: A) STATE 91019, B) HANOI 1218 
 
1. (U) This is an action request for DOE - please see para 5. 
 
2. (U) On July 25, ESTHOff met with Mr. Le Doan Phac, Director of 
the International Cooperation Department of the Vietnam Atomic 
Energy Commission (VAEC).  In the meeting, Phac presented an 
official letter from Vice Minister of Science and Technology Tran 
Quoc Thang to Mr. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security 
Assistant Deputy Administrator for Global Threat Reduction Andrew 
Bieniawski.  Text of letter follows: 
 
3. (SBU) Begin text of letter: 
 
Hanoi, 25 July 2007 
 
Dear Mr. Bieniawski, 
 
I have received your letter of 5 July 2007 concerning the project on 
conversion of Dalat Nuclear Research Reactor from the use of 
high-enriched uranium (HEU) fuel to the use of low-enriched uranium 
(LEU) fuel.  I note with satisfaction that in a common effort, all 
relevant sides have been closely cooperating to complete 
successfully the project. 
 
Regarding the issues mentioned in your letter, I would like to 
exchange with you my opinions and suggestions as follows: 
 
(1)  The fuel conversion is planned to take place in this September. 
 Therefore, during preparation to fix the schedule, please take into 
consideration that Vietnam National Day holiday will be from 1-3 
September and some Vietnamese officers, who are involved in the 
project, will attend the IAEA General Conference from 17-21 
September; 
 
(2)  Regarding your proposal on the Ceremony, please send us your 
Tentative Ceremony Agenda and list of participants for our review 
and discussion with you to finalize and submit to the Vietnamese 
Government for approval.  This request is in accordance to our 
rules; 
 
(3)  Please contact the IAEA as soon as possible for the IAEA's 
approval of the TC project of US $500,000 that you have committed to 
support Viet Nam through the IAEA under the framework of the fuel 
conversion project.  The Vietnam's project request has been sent the 
IAEA and NNSA (to Dr. Igor Bolshinsky); 
 
(4)  Regarding conclusion of the DOE-MOST Implementing Agreement, 
Vietnamese side has a viewpoint that this Agreement will be 
discussed and negotiated by the two sides in an appropriate time in 
future.  At present, the MOST of Viet Nam and the US DOE could 
conclude "the Arrangement between the Department of Energy of the 
United States of America and the Ministry of Science and Technology 
of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam for Information Exchange and 
Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy"  (prepared by 
Office of Global Security Engagement and Cooperation, NNSA - 
Director of the Office is Mr. Maurice A. Mallin). 
 
Taking this occasion, once again, I would like to express our 
appreciation for your close cooperation and kind supports. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
(signed) 
 
Tran Quoc Thang 
Vice-Minister 
Ministry of Science and Technology 
 
End of text. 
 
4.  (SBU) During the discussion, Mr. Phac provided the following 
additional details to the points: a) the window of September 5-14 is 
favorable; b) any press ceremony should be kept small so that MOST 
(and not another ministry) will be authorized to handle the event, 
which could be approved quickly by them; c) since MOST does not have 
a lot of experience with such ceremonies, they request a detailed 
proposal to consider. 
 
5.  (U) COMMENT AND ACTION REQUEST FOR DOE:  ESTHOff raised 
informally with MOST ADA Bieniawski's proposal to invite a limited 
number of correspondents, including an "embedded" CNN reporter, to 
travel with the official delegation during the fuel conversion. 
MOST clearly requires more details of the press elements of this 
event before considering approval.  Post requests NNSA to work 
directly with Embassy Public Affairs Officer Angela Aggeler 
(aggelerap@state.gov) and ESTH Officer Nathan Sage so that a 
 
HANOI 00001322  002 OF 002 
 
 
country-specific press plan for the activity can be quickly 
developed that meets MOST's requirement.  Post understands NNSA has 
experience handling such operations in other countries and looks 
forward to discuss details of a proposed press plan.
