Summary
States that are signatories to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty are required to confidentially provide the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) with a description of the location and purpose of each of their nuclear sites.
The document presents a sensitive 5 May, 2009 draft of all US nuclear sites for Congressional review together with a covering note from President Barack Obama giving more detail on the restrictions.
It seems that by mistake, the entire document, including the sensitive portions--labeled as such on every page--was printed by the US Government Printing Office.
A day after its publication here, and on Secrecy News[1], the GPO removed the document from its website, according a story published in the New York Times[2] two days later.
The document is likely to be of substantial interest to environmental activists.
