DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Office of Nonproliferation Policy; Proposed Subsequent 
Arrangement

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of subsequent arrangement.

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

SUMMARY: This notice has been 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 Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic 
Energy between the United States and Canada and Agreement for 
Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy between the United 
States and the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM).
    This subsequent arrangement concerns the retransfer of 266,197 kg 
of U.S.-origin natural uranium hexafluoride, 180,000 kg of which is 
uranium, from Cogema Resources Inc., Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada to 
Eurodif Production, Pierrelatte France. The material, which is now 
located at Cameco Corp., Port Hope, Ontario, will be transferred to 
Eurodif for enrichment. Upon completion of the enrichment, the material 
will be retransferred to the Kansai Electric Power Co. Inc, Osaka, 
Japan, the Chugoku Electric Power Co. Inc, Hiroshima, Japan, and the 
Tohoku Electric Power Co Inc., Miyagi, Japan for use as fuel. The 
uranium hexafluoride was originally obtained by the Cameco Corp. from 
Power Resources, Inc. pursuant to export license number XSOU8744.
    In accordance with Section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended, we have determined that this subsequent arrangement is not 
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 Nonproliferation Policy.
