Viewing cable 08HANOI1352, VIETNAM MAKES PROGRESS ON NUCLEAR MOU

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

1. Summary: Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) Officials told 
ESTHOff that the Government of Vietnam (GVN) was making progress on 
consideration of the proposed bilateral Memorandum of Understanding 
(MOU) on nuclear cooperation and provided initial feedback.  MOST 
wants to wrap up the MOU first and then turn its attention to 
joining the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP).  MOST Vice 
Minister Le Dinh Tien will be in Washington in early January and 
would like to meet with Department of Energy officials to discuss 
the MOU, GNEP and final conversion of the Dalat nuclear research 
reactor.  End Summary. 
 
Nuclear MOU Winding Its Way Through GVN Bureaucracy 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
 
2. (SBU)  On December 12, MOST Deputy Director of International 
Cooperation Le Thanh Binh met with ESTHOff to review the proposed 
MOU "Concerning Cooperation in Nuclear Energy and Other Energy 
Fields" (Refs A, B, and C).  Binh stated that MOST had submitted the 
document to the Ministries of Industry and  Trade (MOIT), Foreign 
Affairs (MFA), Justice (MOJ), Defense (MOD), and Public Security 
(MPS) for inter-agency review.  Following consensus, the document 
will go to the Prime Minister for approval.  Though MOST initially 
had set a deadline of mid-November, prior to Deputy Prime Minister 
Hoang Trung Hai's visit to Washington, to date only MOJ and MOIT 
have responded.  Binh lamented their inability to get bigger, more 
powerful ministries such as MOD and MPS to respond promptly. 
 
Initial GVN Comments on MOU 
--------------------------- 
 
3. (SBU) While waiting for final comments from the ministries listed 
above, Binh provided initial feedback on the draft text of the MOU. 
MOST's only suggested edit was removal of the paragraph affirming 
Vietnam's intent to rely on existing markets for nuclear fuel 
services.  Binh noted that Vietnam planned to purchase fuel from the 
entity it selects to construct planned nuclear power plants.  As a 
stepping stone to the negotiation of a Section 123 Agreement, the 
GVN did not feel this MOU needed to address nuclear fuel services. 
ESTHOff noted the importance of this paragraph to U.S. 
non-proliferation goals, but promised to forward comments to U.S. 
substantive experts. 
 
MOU First, GNEP Second 
---------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) Binh stated that MOST was focusing first on the bilateral 
nuclear cooperation MOU.  While MOST had held vigorous internal 
discussions on the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP), it did 
not want to move forward until it had finalized the MOU, which Binh 
described as "easier."  MOST will need to run membership in GNEP 
through the same gauntlet of ministries listed in paragraph one 
above. 
 
MOST Vice Minister Wants to Meet with DOE in January 
--------------------------------------------- ------- 
 
5. (SBU) According to Binh, MOST Vice Minister Le Dinh Tien, whose 
portolio contains nuclear energy, will be in Washington from January 
2 to 7 to attend the Vietnam Education Foundation conference.  Tien 
would like to meet with the Department of Energy to discuss a range 
of energy issues including DOE/NNSA Deputy Assistant Secretary 
Andrew Bieniawski's request to begin discussions next February 
regarding full conversion of the Dalat nuclear research reactor and 
removal of spent Highly Enriched Uranium fuel.  Tien would also like 
to discuss GNEP and the nuclear cooperation MOU.  Tien has set aside 
January 6 or 7 for meetings, but might also have some time earlier 
in his stay.
