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 Australia Concerning Peaceful Uses of 
Nuclear Energy and the Agreement Between the United States and the 
Argentine Republic Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy.
    This subsequent arrangement concerns the retransfer of 10,120.40 
kgs of tritiated heavy water in 46 stainless steel drums from the 
Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO) in Lucas 
Heights, Australia to NucleoElectrica Argentina SA (NA SA) in Buenos 
Aires, Argentina. The heavy water is 99.32% pure and contains 10 grams 
of tritium. The material, which is currently located at ANSTO, will be 
transferred to the Atuche and Embalse nuclear power stations and will 
be used as coolant and moderator material in these nuclear power 
stations operated by NA SA. ANSTO originally obtained the material from 
Atomic Energy Canada Limited and exchanged this material with an 
equivalent quantity of U.S. obligated material.
    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.


    Dated: August 10, 2009.
    For the Department of Energy.
Anatoli Welihozkiy,
Director (Acting), Office of International Regimes and Agreements.
