The Department is providing notice of a proposed “subsequent arrangement” under the Agreement for Cooperation Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic Energy between the United States and Canada, and the Agreement for Cooperation Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of Korea Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic Energy.

This subsequent arrangement concerns the retransfer of eighteen 36-element fuel bundles and twelve 18-element fuel bundles, totaling 55,000 grams uranium (19.75 percent enriched U-235), from the AECL Chalk River Laboratories, Chalk River, Ontario, Canada, to the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) Hanaro Reactor Center.
