10 CFR Part 810 — Authorized Destinations for Nuclear Technology Exports
Current understanding
The Department of Energy administers 10 CFR Part 810 (Assistance to Foreign Atomic Energy Activities), which controls exports of unclassified nuclear technology and assistance. Countries on the ‘generally authorized destinations’ list can receive covered technology without a specific DOE authorization, while other destinations require case-by-case specific authorization. A final rule adds Thailand to the generally authorized list, easing licensing burdens on U.S. exporters of nuclear technology and services to Thai recipients.
