SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korea was placed on a U.S. Department of Energy watchlist because some visitors to its labs mishandled sensitive information, Joseph Yun, acting U.S. ambassador to South Korea, said on Tuesday.
Speaking to the American Chamber of Commerce in Seoul, Yun said the designation was limited to the department’s facilities, and does not have wider implications for cooperation between the two allies.
