BILLING CODE 6450–01–P
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(42 U.S.C. 2160). The Department is
providing notice of a proposed
subsequent arrangement under the
Agreement for Cooperation Between the
United States of America and the
Government of Australia Concerning
Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy and the
Agreement Between the United States
and the Argentine Republic Concerning
Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy.
This subsequent arrangement
concerns the retransfer of 10,120.40 kgs
of tritiated heavy water in 46 stainless
steel drums from the Australian Nuclear
Science and Technology Organization
(ANSTO) in Lucas Heights, Australia to
NucleoElectrica Argentina SA (NA SA)
in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The heavy
water is 99.32% pure and contains 10
grams of tritium. The material, which is
currently located at ANSTO, will be
transferred to the Atuche and Embalse
nuclear power stations and will be used
as coolant and moderator material in
these nuclear power stations operated
by NA SA. ANSTO originally obtained
the material from Atomic Energy
Canada Limited and exchanged this
material with an equivalent quantity of
U.S. obligated material.
In accordance with Section 131 of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,
we have determined that this
subsequent arrangement is not inimical
to the common defense and security.
This subsequent arrangement will
take effect no sooner than fifteen days
after the date of publication of this
notice.
