Office of Arms Control and Nonproliferation Policy; Proposed 
Subsequent Arrangement

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Subsequent arrangement.

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

SUMMARY: 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 Canada 
Concerning the Civil Uses of Atomic Energy and the Agreement for 
Cooperation Between the Government of the United States of America and 
the Government of the Republic of Korea Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic 
Energy. This notice is being issued under the authority of Section 131 
of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2160).
    The subsequent arrangement RTD/CA(KO)-1 concerns the return of 
8,431 grams of CANFLEX Fuel Bundle of which 6,747 grams consists of 
111.7 grams of the isotope U-235 (1.64 percent enrichment) and the 
remaining 1,684 grams consists of 33.3 grams of the isotope U-235 (1.98 
percent enrichment). Included in this return is 5,153 grams of enriched 
sintered UO2 pellets of which 3,965 grams consists of 65 grams of the 
isotope U-235 (1.64 percent enrichment) and the remaining 1,188 grams 
consists of 23.5 grams of the isotope U-235 (1.98 percent enrichment). 
The material is being returned to Canada from the Republic of Korea to 
be irradiated for performance test in NRU reactor in Canada as part of 
a Joint Canada/Korea fuel development program. This will be the first 
of a series of returns to Canada until the total amount of material 
originally transferred to the Republic of Korea to be incorporated into 
CANFLEX fuel bundles is returned to AECL. The original retransfer was 
implemented September 1998 and is documented as RTD/KO(CA)-7.
    In accordance with Section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended, we have determined that this subsequent arrangement will not 
be inimical to the common defense and security.
    This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than June 
28, 1999.

    Dated: June 7, 1999.

    For the Department of Energy.
Edward T. Fei,
Deputy Director, International Policy and Analysis Division, Office of 
Arms Control and Nonproliferation.
