Description

This Act governing State security in the nuclear field lays down that the King may determine the security measures to be complied with concerning nuclear research, materials, methods of production used by establishments and legal or physical persons having in their possession information, documents or material obtained either directly from the Government or with its consent. The Act was supplemented by Royal Order of 14 March 1956 which amplified its provisions by laying down specific requirements regarding the classification of information and material, the security measures to be applied thereto, and to establishments involved in related research work. It also provides for the security clearance to be applied to persons who shall be authorised to obtain such information and classified material. A Royal Order of 18 October 1974 amends this Order in respect of the authorities responsible for its implementation. (NEA)
