DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Office of Arms Control and Nonproliferation; Proposed Subsequent 
Arrangement

    Pursuant to Section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended (42 U.S.C. 2160), notice is hereby given of a proposed 
``subsequent arrangement'' under the Additional Agreement for 
Cooperation between the Government of the United States of America and 
the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) Concerning Peaceful Uses 
of Atomic Energy, as amended, and the Agreement for Cooperation between 
the Government of the United States of America and the Government of 
Switzerland Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic Energy, as amended.
    The subsequent arrangement would give approval, which must be 
obtained under the above-mentioned agreements, for the following 
transfer of special nuclear materials of United States origin, or of 
special nuclear materials produced through the use of materials of 
United States origin, as follows: Switzerland to France for the purpose 
of reprocessing 14 irradiated fuel assemblies containing approximately 
2,500 kilograms of uranium and containing 21 kilograms of the isotope 
uranium-235 (enriched to approximately 0.84%) and 23 kilograms of 
plutonium from the Muhleberg nuclear power station. This subsequent 
arrangement is designated as RTD/EU(SD)-82.
    The United States has received assurance from the Government of 
Switzerland that the recovered uranium and plutonium will be stored in 
France, and will not be transferred from France, nor put to any use, 
without the prior consent of the United States Government.
    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 and after fifteen 
days of continuous session of the Congress, [[Page 13970]] beginning 
the day after the date on which the reports required by section 
131(b)(1) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 
2160), are submitted to the Committee on International Relations of the 
House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
Senate. The two time periods referred to above shall run concurrently.

    Issued in Washington, D.C. on March 10, 1995.
Edward T. Fei,
Acting Director, International and Regional Security Division, Office 
of Arms Control and Nonproliferation.
