The document discusses proposals for the control of current COCOM atomic energy items in the NSG (Nuclear Suppliers Group) list. It suggests that certain items from the COCOM Atomic Energy List should be covered in the NSG trigger and dual-use lists for strategic and non-proliferation reasons. The list includes items such as fissile materials, power control equipment for reactors, separation equipment for isotopes of lithium, simulators for nuclear reactors, and software related to nuclear goods. The document recommends informal discussions with the US delegate at the NSG meeting in Vienna to seek agreement on the addition of these items to the NSG lists. The aim is to retain control over these items post-COCOM. Copies of the document are sent to various departments and individuals involved in nuclear non-proliferation matters.
