DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Office of Arms Control and Nonproliferation; Proposed Subsequent 
Arrangement

AGENCY: Office of Arms Control and Nonproliferation, Department of 
Energy.

ACTION: Subsequent arrangement.

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

SUMMARY: This notice is being issued under the authority of Section 131 
of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2160). The 
Department is providing notice of a proposed ``subsequent arrangement'' 
under Article 6 paragraph 2 of the Agreement for Cooperation Between 
the Government of the United States of America and the Government of 
the Argentine Republic Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy.
    This subsequent arrangement concerns the alteration in form or 
content of irradiated LEU research reactor fuel elements and isotope 
production targets for the purpose of post-irradiation examination 
(PIE) as part of a cooperative research and development program between 
the Argentina Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEA) and the U.S. Department 
of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). The PIE will involve 
less than one kilogram of uranium-235 and will be conducted by CNEA and 
ANL personnel in specified hot cells and laboratory facilities under 
IAEA safeguards at CNEA's Ezeiza Atomic Center near Buenos Aires.
    In accordance with Section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended, we have 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.

    For the Department of Energy.
Trisha Dedik,
 Director, Office of International Policy and Analysis for Arms Control 
and Nonproliferation, Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation.
