Office of Arms Control and Nonproliferation Policy; Proposed 
Subsequent Arrangement

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Subsequent arrangement.

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

SUMMARY: 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 
Department is providing a notice of a proposed ``subsequent 
arrangement'' under the Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses 
of Nuclear Energy Between the United States of America and the European 
Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) and the Agreement for Cooperation 
Between the Government of the United States of America and the 
Government of the People's Republic of China Concerning the Peaceful 
Uses of Nuclear Energy.
    The subsequent arrangement concerns approval of RTD/PC(EU)-1 for 
the retransfer of 32,574 grams of slightly irradiated fuel spheres 
containing 5,456.145 grams of the isotope U-235 (16.76 percent 
enrichment) from EURATOM (Germany) to the People's Republic of China 
for use as research material in the 10 megawatt High Temperature Gas-
cooled Reactor (HTR-10) which is being constructed at the Institute of 
Nuclear Energy Technology (INET) in Beijing, China.
    The material was originally transferred from Germany to Switzerland 
as RTD/SD(EU)-59 for fabrication into graphite coated fuel spheres and 
returned to Germany as RTD/EU(SD)-1.
    In accordance with Section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended, it has been determined that this subsequent arrangement will 
not be 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.

    Dated: October 8, 1999.
