Subsequent Arrangement

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of proposed 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 eight 
irradiated fuel rod segments containing a total of 124.4 grams of U.S.-
origin uranium, 5.74 grams of which is U-235, and 11.48 grams of U.S.-
origin plutonium, from the Institutt for Energiteknikk, Kjeller, 
Norway, to the CEA/CEN Cadarache, LECA/STAR research center, Saint 
Paul-Les-Durance, France. The segments, irradiated at the Halden 
Boiling Water Reactor, are being retransferred for the purpose of post 
irradiation examination. CEA/CEN Cadarache, LECA/STAR research center 
is authorized to receive nuclear material pursuant to the U.S.-Euratom 
Agreement for Cooperation.
    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.

    Dated: September 21, 2006.

    For the Department of Energy.
