💨 Abstract

The U.S. Department of Energy has designated South Korea as a "sensitive" country due to potential nuclear weapons development concerns. South Korea, an ally, was added to the Sensitive and Other Designated Countries List in January 2021. The designation does not impose new restrictions on bilateral cooperation in science and technology but raises questions about U.S. defense commitments and South Korean nuclear ambitions.
