Institute for Science and International Security ISIS IMAGERY BRIEF January 28, 2010 Burma: a Nuclear Wannabe, Suspicious Links to North Korea and High-Tech Procurements to Enigmatic Facilities By David Albright, Paul Brannan, Robert Kelley, and Andrea Scheel Stricker For several years, suspicions have swirled about the nuclear intentions of Burma’s secretive military dictatorship. Burma is cooperating with North Korea on possible nuclear procurements and appears to be misleading overseas suppliers in obtaining top-of-the-line equipment. Certain equipment, which could be used in a nuclear or missile program, went to isolated Burmese manufacturing compounds of unknown purpose. Although evidence does not exist to make a compelling case that Burma is building secret nuclear reactors or fuel cycle facilities, as has been reported, the information does warrant governments and companies taking extreme caution in any dealings with Burma. The military regime’s suspicious links to North Korea, and apparent willingness to illegally procure high technology goods, make a priority convincing the military government to accept greater transparency.
