Notice to congressional committees of cer- tain security and counterintelligence failures within atomic energy defense programs (a) Required notification The Secretary of Energy shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives a notification of each significant atomic energy defense intel- ligence loss. Any such notification shall be pro- vided only after consultation with the Director of National Intelligence and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as appropriate. (b) Significant atomic energy defense intel- ligence losses In this section, the term ‘‘significant atomic energy defense intelligence loss’’ means any na- tional security or counterintelligence failure or compromise of classified information at a facil- ity of the Department of Energy or operated by a contractor of the Department that the Sec- retary considers likely to cause significant harm or damage to the national security inter- ests of the United States.
