SUBJ: RESIDUAL RADIATION SOURCES 
1. DIA HAD PREVIOUSLY NOTIFIED CENTCOM THAT IRAQ HAD THE POTENTIAL 
TO CONSTRUCT AND DELIVER A RADIOLOGICAL DISPERSION DEVICE. 
ALTHOUGH SUCH A DEVICE WAS NEVER USED DURING THE CONFLICT TO DATE, 
THE UNLIKELY POTENTIAL DOES EXIST THAT SUCH A DEVICE OR OTHER 
RADIOACTIVE SOURCES COULD HAVE BEEN LEFT INSIDE KUWAIT. [   (b)(1) 
sec 1.3(a)(4)   ] HAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY INTENT, ACTUALITY, OR 
LOCATION OF SUCH SOURCES. THEY WOULD, HOWEVER, BE READILY 
DETECTABLE WITH BASIC RADIOLOGICAL SURVEY INSTRUMENTS. AREAS OF 
PARTICULAR CONCERN WOULD BE MEDICAL/INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES THAT 
CONTAINED LARGE SOURCES BEFORE THE IRAQI INVASION. THESE SOURCES 
MAY HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THEIR PROTECTIVE CASKS EITHER 
INTENTIONALLY OR BY DAMAGE DURING THE FIGHTING.
