New documents reveal the Trump administration is gearing to share nuclear know-how with Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia's plans for nuclear follow the construction of the UAE's Barakah nuclear power plant due to come online next year.
Perry's approvals, known as Part 810 authorisations, allow companies to do preliminary work on nuclear power ahead of any deal but not ship equipment that would go into a plant, a source with knowledge of the agreements said on condition of anonymity. The Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration said in the document that the companies had requested that the Trump administration keep the approvals secret.
A Department of Energy official said the requests contained proprietary information and that the authorisations went through a multi-agency approval process.Many US lawmakers are concerned that sharing nuclear technology with Saudi Arabia could eventually lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.
The concern in Congress about sharing nuclear technology and knowledge with Saudi Arabia rose after US-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed last October in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Pompeo said the administration was working to ensure any shared technology nuclear power would not present proliferation risks.
