DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Office of International Regimes and Agreements; 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 Between the United States of 
America and the Government of the Argentine Republic Concerning 
Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy and the Agreement Between the United 
States of America and Australia Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear 
Energy.
    This subsequent arrangement concerns the retransfer of eleven 
fission counters from the Comision Nacional De Energia Atomica (CNEA) 
to the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO) 
in Lucas Heights, Australia. Five of the fission counters contain 0.54 
grams of U.S. obligated uranium, 0.48 grams in the isotope U-235. The 
other six fission counters contain 0.46 grams of U.S. obligated 
uranium, 0.41 grams in the isotope U-235. The material, which is 
currently in the form uranium ore concentrates (U3O8) and is located at 
CNEA's Instrumentation and Control Department, will be transferred to 
ANSTO for use at the new Australian Nuclear Research Reactor. CNEA 
originally obtained the material from the United States under a general 
license.
    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.
Richard Goorevich,
Director, Office of International Regimes and Agreements.
