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 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 Federative Republic of Brazil Concerning Peaceful Uses of Atomic 
Energy.
    This subsequent arrangement concerns the approval of RTD/BR(EU)-10 
which involves the retransfer of nuclear components in the form of a 
secondary neutron source from Germany to Brazil for use in the Angra-2 
nuclear power plant. The secondary neutron source, specially designed 
for use in nuclear reactors, contains 1,400 U.S.-origin antimony 
beryllium pellets.
    The Federative Republic of Brazil has provided assurances that 
these components will only be used in the Angra-2 nuclear power plant 
and that the components will not be retransferred to the jurisdiction 
of any other nation or group of nations without prior consent of the 
United States.
    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.
    This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than fifteen 
days after the date of publication of this notice.

    For the Department of Energy.

    Dated: May 12, 1999.

Edward T. Fei,
Deputy Director, International Policy and Analysis Division, Office of 
Arms Control and Nonproliferation.
