Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

C O N F I D E N T I A L OTTAWA 001333 SIPDIS E.O. 12958: DECL: 05/09/2013 TAGS: PARM, MNUC, IR, CA, NPT, Iran SUBJECT: NPT: IRAN'S BOGUS CLAIMS OF CANADIAN NUCLEAR COOPERATION Classified By: Political Minister Counselor Brian Flora, Reasons 1.5 (b) and (d). (C) Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) informed us that in its May 5 briefing at the NPT PrepCom, Iran indicated that it is considering use of Canadian Cando reactors in the Iranian nuclear program. DFAIT reminded us that there is no public or private Canadian nuclear cooperation with Iran, and that the GoC will continue to ensure no future cooperation. Iran's motivation in citing Cando, DFAIT continued, was to try to butress their claims that the Iranian nuclear program is purely civilian. DFAIT noted that "Nucleonics Week" has already picked up this story from Iran's presentation. The GoC is trying to beat the story back with Nucleonics Week, but it will likely get some press play.
