SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This subsequent arrangement concerns the 
retransfer of 85,758 g of U.S.-origin uranium, 16,946 g of which is in 
the isotope of U-235 (19.76 percent enrichment), in the form of low 
enriched uranium-silicide Open Pool Australian Lightwater (OPAL) 
research reactor fuel clad in aluminum, from the Australian Nuclear 
Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) in Lucas Heights, Sydney, 
Australia, to the Deposito de Materiales Nucleares (DEMANU) and/or 
Deposito de Uranio Enriquecido (DUE) warehouses of Comision Nacional de 
Energia Atomica (CNEA) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The material, which 
is currently located at ANSTO's OPAL reactor, will be transferred to 
the CNEA DEMANU and/or DUE warehouses for storage and subsequent use in 
Argentine research reactors. ANSTO originally obtained the material 
pursuant to export license XSNM03282, Amendment No. 01, and export

    In accordance with section 131a. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954,

concerning the retransfer of nuclear material of United States origin 
will not be inimical to the common defense and security of the United 
States of America.
