DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Office of Nonproliferation Policy; Proposed Subsequent 
Arrangement

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: 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 266,300 kg 
of U.S.-origin natural uranium hexafluoride, 180,000 kg of which is 
uranium, from Cameco Corporation, Port Hope, Ontario, Canada, to Urenco 
(Deutschland GmbH), Gronau, Germany. The material, which is now located 
at Cameco Corp., Port Hope, Ontario, will be transferred to Urenco for 
toll enrichment. Upon completion of the enrichment, Urenco will 
transfer the material to Duke Energy Corporation for use as reactor 
fuel. Cameco Corp. originally obtained the uranium hexafluoride under 
the UF6 Fee Implementing Contract Component.
    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.
Kurt Siemon,
Acting Director, Office of Nonproliferation Policy.
