Reuters:The U.S.-Saudi Nuclear Agreement Enters Final Review Phase and Will Be Without Restrictions- The U.S. State Department informed Congress in a letter dated May 18 that the anticipated civil nuclear cooperation agreement between Saudi Arabia and the United States has entered the final review stage prior to signing by President Trump- The agreement does not include what is known as the "gold standard," which prohibits uranium enrichment and nuclear fuel reprocessing… and under it, Saudi Arabia will not be obligated to grant the International Atomic Energy Agency full inspection powers over its entire nuclear program, including undeclared sites or surprise inspections___
Note:
1) The absence of the gold standard does not automatically mean the existence of a military program; it only means that Saudi Arabia retains broader rights within the civil nuclear fuel cycle.
2) Even without the gold standard, any civil nuclear program remains subject to basic oversight agreements and safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency, but the powers and inspection orders differ depending on the type of protocols signed for each nuclear site.
