DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Office of Arms Control and Nonproliferation; Proposed Subsequent 
Arrangement

AGENCY: 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 the Agreement for Cooperation Between the Government of the 
United States of America, and the Government of the Republic of Korea 
Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic Energy.
    This subsequent arrangement concerns the joint determination by the 
Government of the United States of America, and the Government of the 
Republic of Korea pursuant to Article VIII(C) of the Agreement for 
Cooperation that the provisions in Article XI of that Agreement may be 
effectively applied for the alteration in form or content of U.S.-
origin nuclear material contained in irradiated nuclear fuels from 
pressurized water reactors, CANDU reactors, and research reactors at 
the Post Irradiation Examination Facility (PIEF), the Irradiated 
Material Examination Facility (IMEF), and the DUPIC Fuel Fabrication 
Facility (DFDF) at the Headquarters of the Korea Atomic Energy Research 
Institute, in accordance with the plan contained in KAERI/AR-606/01 
(KAERI/AR-583/00-rev.1) and KAERI/AR-607/01 (KAERI/AR-584/00-rev.1), 
with appendices, dated September 3, 2001. Any activities additional to 
the plan or changes in the equipment in the PIEF, IMEF, or DFDF will be 
reviewed by both parties to ensure the general consistency with the 
scope and objectives of this Joint Determination. Reference is made to 
the Joint Determinations signed by the Government of the United States 
of America and the Government of the Republic of Korea on March 29, 
1996, and April 8, 1999, covering the same facilities and similar 
activities. These facilities continue to be acceptable to both parties 
pursuant to Article VIII(C) of the Agreement for the sole purpose of 
alteration in form or content of irradiated fuel elements for post-
irradiation examination and for research, development, and manufacture 
of DUPIC fuel powders, pellets, and elements for the period ending 
March 31, 2007.
    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 January 
29, 2002.

    Dated: January 8, 2002.
Trisha Dedik,
Director, Office of Nonproliferation Policy, National Nuclear Security 
Administration.
