  • Israel and the US continue cooperation on nuclear export controls
The third Israel-US technical exchange on nuclear export controls took place in Israel on January 19-20, 2005. This meeting was a part of the ongoing dialogue on issues of mutual interest conducted under the Letter of Intent (LOI) between the Israel Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC) and the US Department of Energy (DOE).

The last meeting focused on the implementation of nuclear export controls, and specifically on the issues of license review practices, compliance by industry and scientific institutes, and commodity identification training to aid enforcement.

In July 2004 Israel has put in place an Export Control Order pertaining to nuclear, chemical and biological items.

The IAEC and the DOE have agreed to continue their cooperation in order to promote the implementation of nuclear export controls and to assist in developing the necessary implementation and enforcement tools.

During the meeting the sides have also exchanged views on international initiatives and developments in the area of export controls.
