The segments, irradiated at the Halden Boiling Water Reactor, are being retransferred for the purpose of post irradiation examination. CEA/CEN Cadarache, LECA/STAR research center is authorized to receive nuclear material pursuant to the U.S.-Euratom Agreement for Cooperation. 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.
