Pages 20-21 from FCO 66932 - UK Nuclear Policy 1977

The document discusses the approval process for supplying nuclear material to Israel. It states that the application was approved, but with the condition that an assurance of "no military use" be obtained. The memo suggests that future requests for small quantities of non-sensitive nuclear material should continue to be approved. However, if it is desired to state publicly that no nuclear material has been sent to Israel since a specific date, the approval for the current application can be withdrawn, and future similar applications can be refused. The memo acknowledges that Israel is a sensitive country in terms of public opinion, particularly in Arab states. It recommends that the policy of refusing the supply of material or equipment serving a weapons purpose to Israel should continue, while also endorsing the supply of small research quantities of depleted uranium and similar materials in the future, as long as they are deemed irrelevant to any military program. The memo also suggests maintaining the current approval process for export applications to other sensitive countries, only approving small quantities for research purposes with an assurance of no use in nuclear weapons.
