美设|美涉核秘密材料被误传上网

近日，美国政府不慎将一份长达266页的涉核秘密材料上传到美国政府出版物管理局的网站上，导致敏感信息外泄。这份材料上清楚标着“高度秘密”字样，内容涉及美国核设施的发展规划以及相关核设施的准确位置、分布图等。泄密事件发生后，美国核问题专家对泄密情况进行了评估并表示，此次涉核秘密泄漏事件的损失不是很大，因为，这份材料中的大部分信息都是宏观层面上的，公众有可能已经有所了解。

The government"s inadvertent and red-faced Internet posting of a 266-page list of US nuclear sites provided a one-step guide for anyone wanting details about such sensitive information. Obama administration officials said Wednesday the document contained no classified material about nuclear weapons. They contended the locations and other details already were available from public sources.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu said "a snafu" led to the online posting. "A little embarrassing," he acknowledged.

The document, stamped "highly confidential safeguards sensitive," made it onto the Government Printing Office"s Web site — and why that happened was not immediately clear. A newsletter that focuses on government secrecy quickly picked up on it. The printing office removed the document when informed "about the potential sensitive nature" of the list, the agency said.

By then it was too late.

The information, compiled for international nuclear inspectors, is a compilation of hundreds of civilian nuclear sites, along with maps and details of the facilities. The material includes sites for uranium storage, nuclear fuel fabrication plants and nuclear research facilities.
