Proposed Subsequent Arrangement

AGENCY: National Nuclear Security Administration, Department of Energy.

ACTION: Proposed subsequent arrangement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document is being issued under the authority of the 
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. 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 the Republic of Korea Concerning Peaceful Uses of 
Nuclear Energy.

DATES: This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than 
October 30, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Sean Oehlbert, Office of 
Nonproliferation and Arms Control, National Nuclear Security 
Administration, Department of Energy. Telephone: 202-586-3806 or email: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed subsequent arrangement 
concerns the retransfer of 18,742 grams uranium, 129 grams U-235, and 
230 grams plutonium of United States origin contained in irradiated 
fuel rods, from KEPCO Nuclear Fuel Co., Ltd. in Daejon, Republic of 
Korea, to Studsvik Nuclear AB, in Nykoping, Sweden. The irradiated fuel 
rods, which are currently located at KEPCO Nuclear Fuel Co. in Daejon, 
Republic of Korea, will be used for testing the fuel cladding, guide 
tubes, and spacer grids by Studsvik Nuclear AB, in Nykoping, Sweden. 
After testing, the irradiated fuel rods will be stored at Studsvik 
Nuclear AB, in Nykoping, Sweden for a period of five years, after which 
the fuel rods will be moved to permanent disposal. Upon transfer to 
Sweden, the irradiated fuel rods will be subject to the Agreement for 
Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy between the United 
States of America and the European Atomic Energy Community.
    Pursuant to the authority in section 131 a. of the Atomic Energy 
Act of 1954, as delegated, I have determined that this proposed 
subsequent arrangement concerning the retransfer of irradiated nuclear 
material of United States origin will not be inimical to the common 
defense and security of the United States of America.

    Dated: September 12, 2019.

    For the Department of Energy.
Brent K. Park,
Deputy Administrator, Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation.
