If I am not expected to make any determinations as to the sensitivity <strong>of</strong> the document,<br />
why does DOE RD and FRD recognition training go into so much detail?<br />
There are three reasons. First, the training helps you remember the key words. You will<br />
remember the key words longer if you understand what they mean and are familiar with the<br />
technologies they represent. Second, the training helps you understand the context in which<br />
the key words are sensitive. And finally, the training impresses upon you how difficult it is to<br />
determine whether the information is classified or not. Because so much is written about<br />
nuclear weapons and related technologies in the public domain, there is a natural tendency to<br />
become careless about its potential sensitivity. The training emphasizes the subtle differences<br />
between classified and unclassified nuclear information and why other-agency reviewers<br />
shouldn’t try to make judgment calls.<br />
