AGENCY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:46 Jan 30, 2023 Jkt 259001 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an Order to Westinghouse Electric Company LLC suspending NRC license XCOM1252, which authorizes the export of fuel assembly components to Sweden for fabrication of fuel assemblies and subsequent shipment of the completed fuel assemblies to the Republic of South Africa (RSA) for use in Koeberg Nuclear Power Station Units 1 and 2. The suspension is required because the license was issued, in part, based on assurances from the RSA that the components would be made subject to the terms of the Agreement for Cooperation in Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy (123 Agreement) between the United States (U.S.) and the Government of South Africa. However, the U.S.-RSA 123 Agreement expired on December 4, 2022, and therefore the assurances that supported issuance of the license are no longer valid.

This specific license authorizes the export of fuel assembly components to Sweden for fabrication of fuel assemblies and subsequent shipment of the completed fuel assemblies to the Republic of South Africa (RSA) for use in Koeberg Nuclear Power Station Units 1 and 2. The export to the RSA is authorized under the terms of an Agreement for Cooperation in Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy (123 Agreement) between the United States (U.S.) and the Government of South Africa. Although the original expiration date for XCOM1252 was December 31, 2020, the licensee submitted an application to renew and amend the license on November 19, 2020. Therefore, in accordance with 10 CFR 110.51(b)(2), XCOM1252 remains valid until the NRC acts on the pending application. II Export license XCOM1252 was issued with nonproliferation assurances from the RSA that the exported components would be placed under the terms and conditions of the U.S.-RSA 123 Agreement. Those assurances were used as the basis to meet the export licensing criteria in 10 CFR 110.42(b) for export of nuclear equipment other than a E:\FR\FM\31JAN1.SGM 31JAN1
