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 in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear 
Energy between the United States and the European Atomic Energy 
Community (EURATOM) and the Agreement for Cooperation Concerning Civil 
Uses of Atomic Energy between the United States and Norway.
    This subsequent arrangement concerns the retransfer of five 
irradiated fuel rods containing a total of 7,448 grams of U.S.-origin 
uranium, 76 grams of which is U-235, and 85 grams of U.S.-origin 
plutonium, from the Euratom Supply Agency to the Government of Norway 
for neutron radiography examination. The specified material is 
currently located at Studsvik Nuclear AB, Nykoping, Sweden and will, 
upon approval, be transferred to the Institut for Energiteknikk (IFE), 
Halden, Norway. IFE Halden is a research institute within the fields of 
nuclear technology, man-machine communication, and energy technology. 
After neutron radiography examination in Norway, IFE Halden will return 
the material to Studsvik Nuclear for final disposal. Studsvik 
originally obtained the material from Exelon Generation Company under 
the U.S. export license XSNM03408.
    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.
Richard S. Goorevich,
Director, Office of International Regimes and Agreements.
