TITLE III—SYRIA NUCLEAR 
WEAPONS PREVENTION 
SEC. 301. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) On September 6, 2007, Israeli warplanes 
bombed a site at al-Kibar in northeastern Syria, 
which the Syrians subsequently worked to conceal. 
On April 24, 2008, senior United States intelligence 
officials briefed Congress and the press about the al- 
Kibar site, citing detailed information showing that 
the al-Kibar facility was a nuclear reactor, built with 
North Korean assistance. 
(2) Following the briefing, Syria granted Inter-
national Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors 
access to the al-Kibar site (but denied them access 
to three other sites), where they took environmental

samples on June 23, 2008. After the visit, Syria 
suspended cooperation with the IAEA, which later 
revealed that soil samples taken from the al-Kibar 
site revealed ‘‘a significant number of natural ura-
nium particles’’ that were produced by human action 
rather than being already present in the environ-
ment. 
(3) The natural uranium found by the IAEA is 
the type of fuel that would be fed into a reactor to 
produce plutonium, which after extraction in a re-
processing facility, could fuel a nuclear bomb. 
(4) The Director-General of the IAEA reported 
to the IAEA Board of Governors on May 24, 2011, 
that ‘‘[the IAEA] assesses that it is very likely that 
the building destroyed at the [al-Kibar] site was a 
nuclear reactor’’. 
(5) Syria’s safeguards agreement with the 
IAEA requires notification to the agency in advance 
of construction of any nuclear facility, regardless of 
the presence of nuclear material, and, as a result, 
Syria’s construction of a reactor violated its IAEA 
obligations.
