Proposed Subsequent Arrangement

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Subsequent arrangement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended (42 U.S.C. 2160), notice is hereby given of a proposed 
``subsequent arrangement'' under the Agreement for Cooperation Between 
the Government of the United States of America and the Government of 
Switzerland Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic Energy as amended and the 
Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy 
Between the Government of the United States of America and the European 
Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM).
    The subsequent arrangement to be carried out under the above-
mentioned agreements involves approval of the following: RTD/EU(SD)-1 
for the retransfer of irradiated graphite, fuel spheres, composed of 
32,570.88 grams of enriched uranium, containing 5,459.10 grams of the 
isotope U-235 (enriched to 16.76 percent) from Switzerland to Germany. 
The fuel has been irradiated in research experiments at the PROTEUS 
critical experiment facility in Switzerland and will be returned to 
Forschungszentrum, Julich, Germany for storage. The material was 
transferred from Germany to Switzerland in 1990, under RTD/SD(EU)-59.
    In accordance with Section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended, it has been determined that this subsequent arrangement will 
not be inimical to the common defense and security.
    This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than fifteen 
days after the date of publication of this notice.

    Dated: January 9, 1998.

    For the Department of Energy.

Director, International Policy and Analysis Division Office of Arms
