EXCERPTS from LLNL Safeguards and Security Guide, Chapter 25:
Security Awareness For Employees (SAFE) Program
...........
...........
Program Responsibilities:
SAFE responds to DOE Order 5670.3 (Counterintelligence Program) by conducting awareness briefings of employees who come into contact with foreign nationals by virtue of travel abroad, attend international conferences, or hosting foreign visitors at the Laboratory. Employees are debriefed, as well, following their foreign contacts. Information derived from debriefings assists the SAFE Office in assessing the level of risk to Laboratory employees who travel abroad, and the level of risk to Laboratory facilities, information, and technologies posed by the activities of foreign intelligence services.
.............
.............
SAFE Analyses, Threat Assessments:
SAFE regularly collects, collates and analyzes information obtained from Laboratory employees, and from the intelligence community, to produce up-to-date assessments of the risks to employees posed by traveling to those foreign countries on the DOE Sensitive Country List. The assessments also include risks posed by domestic contacts with foreign nationals from those Sensitive Countries. (See the Sensitive Country List in the Foreign National Visits and Assignments Section of this Guide.) In addition, SAFE provides to Laboratory employees who travel abroad a general travel advisory for, each specific country. These advisories are a compilation of information from various sources, including the U.S. Department of State, and are designed to help the employee become aware of certain health or safety concerns within those countries.
Employee Responsibilities:
DOE requires that all significant Sensitive Country contacts experience by a Laboratory employee be reported. The SAFE Office is the appropriate reporting site (telephone 2-5557). Common sense must dictate as to which contacts are significant. The purpose for the foreign contact rule is to protect DOE information, technologies and personnel from hostile foreign intelligence services and their agents. Any contact which an employee believes could possibly lead to an attempt by the foreign national to obtain some information about the Laboratory and its assets should be reported.

EXCERPT from LLNL Safeguards and Security Guide, Chapter 12 (Foreign National
Visits and Assignments):
This chapter includes the "Sensitive Countries" list. The list includes, among others, China including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Israel, India, Pakistan, and the successor states of the USSR. The document goes on to state:
"Japan, South Korea and France are known to be engaged in industrial and/or weapons related information and technology collection activities target against classified, sensitive and proprietary U.S. interests. DOE's Office of Counterintelligence has requested that the Laboratory treat these countries as sensitive when LLNL employees interact with citizens of, as well as persons born in, these countries. This policy does not apply to U.S. citizens born in these countries."
