Transclassified Foreign Nuclear Information (TFNI).
official-recordgovernment_studyGovernment Concealment & Secrecy Architecture
Foreign nuclear-program information REMOVED from Restricted Data by JOINT DOE+DNI determination (Atomic Energy Act sec 142e), then guarded as National Security Info and EXEMPT from E.O. 13526 automatic declassification. The legal bridge coupling the nuclear-secrecy regime to the intelligence community.
The single documented legal mechanism that is (a) born-secret-strong, (b) declass-proof (the 25-year clock never runs), and (c) legally bridges the DOE nuclear complex to the IC. Formal 'TFNI' marking named in 2010; framework revised by the 2018 DOE final rule (10 CFR 1045). HONESTY: TFNI is scoped to FOREIGN NUCLEAR-ENERGY information; the claim that UAP material is laundered through it is UNPROVEN. The documented fact is only that TFNI is the auto-declass-exempt, DNI-jointly-controlled channel where such laundering would be legally frictionless IF it occurred.
