SUMMARY: This notice is being issued under the authority of section 
131a. 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 Government of the 
United States of America and the Government of Japan Concerning 
Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy and the Agreement for Cooperation in 
the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy Between the European Atomic Energy 
Community and the United States of America.
    This subsequent arrangement concerns the retransfer of 2,536 g of 
U.S.-origin uranium (11 g U-235) and 27 g of plutonium contained in 
eight spent fuel rod segments from Nippon Nuclear Fuel Development Co., 
Ltd in Oarai-machi, Ibaraki-ken, Japan, to Studsvik Nuclear AB in 
Nyk[ouml]ping, Sweden. The material, which is currently located at 
Nippon Nuclear Fuel Development Co., Ltd, will be transferred to 
Studsvik Nuclear AB for: (a) Pre-irradiation experiment of the spent 
fuel rods irradiated in a nuclear power plant in Japan by Studsvik 
Nuclear AB in Sweden, (b) irradiation experiment of those fuel rods by 
Institutt for Energiteknikk OECD Halden Reactor Project in Norway, and 
(c) post-irradiation experiment of those fuel rods by Studsvik Nuclear 
AB in Sweden. The material was originally obtained by Nippon Nuclear 
Fuel Development Co., Ltd from Martin Marietta Energy Systems pursuant 
to export licenses XSNM02314 and XSNM02734.
    In accordance with section 131a. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 
as amended, it has been determined that this subsequent arrangement 
will not be inimical to the common defense and security.
    This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than 
February 2, 2011.

    Dated: December 20, 2010.

    For the Department of Energy.
