FRD (Formerly Restricted Data) is a USA Government security classification level jointly agreed to by the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense for nuclear weapons information that does not require the possession of a "Q" clearance to be accessed. It was developed to accommodate the DoD's need to have some nuclear weapons information accessible to enlisted military personnel whose duration of military service were too short to wait for a full "restricted data" clearance to be obtained. The official federal definition is, "Classified information which has been removed from the Restricted Data category after DOE and the Department of Defense have jointly determined that it relates primarily to the military utilization of atomic weapons, and can be adequately safeguarded as national security information."
