Dr. Alfredo de los Reyes Head, International Relations Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear C/ Justo Dorado 11 Madrid-28040 Spain

Dear Dr. de los Reyes:

I am pleased to extend this official invitation to Ms. Marta Barrientos Montero to be temporarily assigned to the staff of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for a 6-month period beginning Monday, May 21, 2007. Ms. Montero, an employee of Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear (CSN), will be assigned to the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES) where she will be assigned to the Division of Risk Assessment and Special Projects, Probabilistic Risk and Applications, Human Factors and Reliability Branch. In RES, Ms. Montero will be involved in Safety Culture activities. She will also work in human factors research to develop tools for human factors assessments. Ms. Montero will work on these activities in cooperation with the research staff. Ms. Montero may also participate in training courses at the NRC Professional Development Center and at the Technical Training Center.

Please confirm that we may expect Ms. Montero on Monday, May 21, 2007. She should report to the guards desk at the One White Flint North Building, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland at 9:00 in the morning and ask for Ms. Mary Carter, Office of International Programs (415-2331).

In addition to extending this invitation, I would like this letter to serve as a memorandum of the following understandings governing certain administrative aspects of the assignment.

1.

Ms. Montero will engage in activities essentially similar to those engaged in by NRC employees, without any special "diverse experience" assignments except those that might be convenient to the NRC.

2.

All salary, allowances, assignment-related travel costs (including costs of such travel within the U.S.), liability, and responsibility for Ms. Montero will be assumed by CSN.

3.

The assignment will be for a period of six months. However, this assignment may be terminated prior to the expiration of such period or extended for an additional period.

4.

CSN affirms that Ms. Montero is a permanent employee of the CSN and will retain the employment relationship during her assignment to the NRC, and recommends her for this assignment.

5.

CSN affirms that Ms. Montero is capable of reading, writing and speaking English fluently.

6.

Ms. Montero will observe all rules, regulations and requirements of the NRC including, but not limited to, security, safety, health, hours of work, and conduct.

7.

In her activities during this assignment, Ms. Montero may encounter information furnished to the NRC in confidence. Upon starting activities at the NRC, she will sign the enclosed statement (Annex 1) agreeing not to reproduce or remove any proprietary documents from their proper place of use and storage and agreeing not to disclose such information or in any other way violate the conditions under which the NRC receives and uses proprietary information. All signatories will be provided signed copies of this memorandum.

8.

Annex 2 describes the assignment of patent rights for patents resulting from this assignment.

9.

A security plan will be prepared for Ms. Montero prior to her arrival. This will be incorporated as Annex 3 to this letter after it has been signed by Ms. Montero, her supervisor, our Division of Facilities and Security, and the Office of International Programs.

10.

The liability of the NRC for injury to Ms. Montero or damage to her property, the liability of Ms. Montero and CSN to the NRC for damage to its property, and the liability of Ms. Montero and CSN to third parties for personal injury or property damage will be governed by the applicable law of the United States and the laws of the individual States. The laws of the States are not uniform but, in general, no party will be liable to another party for personal injury or property damage unless such injury or damage is caused by the fault, negligence or intent of the one party or its agents.

11.

Subject to Item 7, Ms. Montero will be required to provide a list of any records and documents which she wishes to take with her to her NRC supervisor(s) and to the Office of International Programs prior to her departure for Spain.
