Decision-use posture
For Nuclear safety, safeguards, and nonproliferation bodies, the public purpose is Treat civil nuclear activity as subject to competent licensing, safeguards, material accountancy, physical protection, emergency planning, environmental review, and verified peaceful use. The evidence threshold is Applicable law, licenses, safeguards records, inspection findings, material accountancy, and correction history. Potential reciprocal value includes catastrophic-risk control; nonproliferation credibility; independent inspection. None of those benefits is treated as consent, recognition, representation, authority, or obligation without competent evidence.
The relationship must not be used for claiming a legal vacuum; technical secrecy replacing safeguards; civil infrastructure masking weapon activity. The governing non-domination rule is explicit: No essential dependency, hidden leverage, retaliation for exit, or manufactured inability to substitute. Any disagreement about this public record remains correctable through /state/information-rights/corrections/.
