Proposed Subsequent Arrangement

AGENCY: Office of Nonproliferation and Arms Control, Department of 
Energy.

ACTION: Proposed subsequent arrangement.

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

SUMMARY: This document is being issued under the authority of section 
131a. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. The Department is 
providing notice of a proposed subsequent arrangement under the 
Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy 
Between the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) and the United 
States of America and the Agreement for Cooperation Between the 
Government of the United States of America and the Government of the 
Kingdom of Norway Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy.

DATES: This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than 
September 7, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Richard Goorevich, Office of 
Nonproliferation and Arms Control, National Nuclear Security 
Administration, Department of Energy. Telephone: 202-586-0589 or email: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This subsequent arrangement concerns a 
request for a four-year extension (April 2017 to April 2021) of the 
current programmatic approval for retransfer of U.S. obligated 
irradiated fuel rods between Studsvik Nuclear AB, Sweden, and Institutt 
for Energiteknikk, IFE facilities Halden and Kjeller, Norway. The rods 
are being transferred for irradiation service, various tests, and 
examinations, and will be returned to Studsvik Nuclear, Sweden, for 
further test and final disposal. The total shipping amounts will be the 
same as allowed under the current approval--a maximum of 30,000 grams 
uranium, 400 grams U-235 and 400 grams plutonium in all shipments, 
combined, with a maximum of 100 grams of plutonium per shipment.
    The current extension was approved in January 2014 and published in 
the Federal Register on January 16, 2014 (79 FR 2824) and is set to 
expire April 2017. If approved, the new extension, for four years, will 
extend to April 2021. Additional transactions are scheduled to occur 
between April 2017 and April 2021 and will be subject to the U.S.-
EURATOM Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear 
Energy.
    In accordance with section 131a. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 
as amended, it has been determined that this subsequent arrangement 
concerning the retransfer of nuclear material of the United States 
origin will not be inimical to the common defense and security of the 
United States of America.

    Dated: May 23, 2017.

    For the Department of Energy.

Acting Deputy Administrator, Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation.
